Hello everyone. I am trying to figure out the difference between the D28112 and D28402 4.5inch angle grinders. From what I can find, they seem to be just about the same. Doing a compare on the Dewalt website shows a difference in the switch but nothing else. It seems one has a paddle switch, the other a slide. Is this really the only difference? If so, can one of you fine gentlemen (or ladies) toss out some opinions on which is better and why? Thanks, love this site.

yes, that is the only difference.  We make a number of grinders that have multiple switch configurations.  The switch mostly depends on what your personal preference is.  A lot of users really love one type of switch, but not others, so we make the same internal features in multiple switch styles.  If you work for a larger company, some companies require specific switch types, but that is not common.  It really just comes down to what you like better.  Hope that helps!

I got the D28115, with trigger lock.  But my friend, who is a union electrician, is discouraged by their Safety Rep to having trigger locks.  I have noticed that Dewalt puts an 'N' at the end of a model # to tell you it is without a trigger lock.
