Flexvolt is more about the battery and DeWalt is taking liberties to confuse us proles. A 9ah battery is 9ah at 20v or 3ah at 60v. Math.
A 60v "Flexvolt" tool utilizes the Flexvolt 60/20v battery to run it at 60v. You cannot use a 20v battery.
A 20v "Flexvolt Advantage" utilizes the Flexvolt 60/20v battery to run it at 30ish volts or a regular battery at 20v
A 20v XR or brushed utilizes the Flexvolt 60/20v battery to run it at 20v for increased runtimes, or a regular battery at whatever.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but for a little bit "Flexvolt" could be bought at HD but not Lowes, and the "Flexvolt Advantage" was at Lowes but not HD. Not sure if thats still the case as I haven't added to my blackandyellow collection for a while, but as an owner of a "Flexvolt Advantage" drill I haven't noticed any huge power gains when using a bigger battery, the drill just weights more all the time.
For a DIYer this grinder is probably perfect. Maybe even overkill. The stock 20V brushless grinder is plenty. I've run mine on thicker stainless and 1/4" mild steel plate with zero issue. Takes down a padlock in seconds. A 4.5" grinder discs will do pretty much anything you need within reason, and the guard is set up for it. A guard that can also take 5" is either oversized for the 4.5 or under for the 5. So safety. Anytime you add a bigger dangerous spinny thing to something you don't use frequently, I question is the potential damages worth the extra half inch?
If you're a pro and the 6" is important to you then yes, get the full 60v Grinder (I know nothing of its finer features) but again, if it will run 4.5-6" discs, whats that blade guard dimension?
And as always: eye(better yet face), ear, AND HAND protection with these things if you're new to them. I'd be missing a good chunk of index finger if it wasn't for some decent gloves, and that was with a 40 grit sanding disc, a blade would have been worse. Always plan for something wrong to happen with these. Discs are somewhat of a fragile item too fyi. The resins breakdown over time and make compromise really old discs.
Best of luck.
I had a grinding wheel break causing the tool to 180 in the air and land on my hand near the index finger. Was not wearing gloves. Ended up in the ER and my hand has never been the same. Wear gloves please.
Also, the trigger on these is much easier to feather then those giant ON/OFF switches.
I honestly think his comment is common sense. Work place accidents do happen and protective gear helps minimize the injuries. He was just trying to be helpful imo

Well, thank you guys for the horror stories, I just purchased one to cut out cinderblock for a single gang box, just cancelled my order and going to hire someone else to do it.
That's what's always gotten me about Flexvolt. If it's a flexvolt tool why isn't it flexible about the battery voltage it can use?
The Flexvolt is the term for Battery and it is is Flexible. The Flexvolt battery can do both 20v and 60v
TheFlexvolt Tool isn't flexible. It only runs at 60v. It is called "Flexvolt Tool" because it is a tool designed and made for the Flexvolt battery that can supply 60v..

Good info, one correction: Flexvolt Advantage is sold at HD only, not Lowe's. Lowe's has Power Detect.

I get that a Flexvolt battery works at 20v or 60v, that makes sense.
But then they call tools Flexvolt even though they only work at one voltage.
What brand of gloves? Like Mechanix impact ones with the rubber on top of glove or leather gloves? Maybe welder gloves although might be awkward to work with.
Whatever you do, don't use gloves that have that stretchy nylon on the top of the glove over your fingers and top of your hand. I was cutting some iron and a spark (a bit of metal basically on fire ) landed on my finger and burned it pretty good. Hurt like hell. At1st I tried patting my hand to get the sparks off, but then the nylon literally just caught on fire and i had to remove my glove. So I HIGHLY recommend LEATHER gloves. And not thin leather if working with metal. Good leather gloves would be fine. I think the thick welding gloves would be hard to work in. YMMV.
The stucco on my house goes all the way to the ground on two sides of the house. My termite company told me to cut it back above the grade. Would this me the appropriate tool to cut through the stucco and wire lath?

I think it would work well, but I'd probably use corded for that.

make sure you get disks that are rated to cut stucco

Can anyone tell me the difference? I searched online but couldn't find anything and looking at Dewalt's website wasn't helpful.
EDIT: unless the difference is only one being FlexVolt Advantage?

It is call FLEXVOLT TOOL because they are made and designed to be used for batteries that are called FLEXVOLT.
