I call BS on Dewalts NEW tools

What happens here

This step details the DeWalt FlexVolt MAX Grinder (DCG418), which incorporates an innovative integrated side-handle trigger designed to encourage two-handed operation for enhanced safety and control. To operate, users must engage the side-handle trigger before pressing the primary trigger. If the side-handle trigger is released for more than a second, the tool requires re-engagement, effectively mitigating kickback risks. The grinder also features the Tool Connect system, allowing integration with the DeWalt Site Manager app for utilization data, tool tracking, inventory management, and safety metrics. This model builds upon the proven DCG418 grinder, offering advanced safety and connectivity.

Goal: Explore the safety, control, and connectivity features of the FlexVolt MAX Grinder.
