I've gotten a lot of good use from this. My only complaint is that when the battery starts to die, it cuts pretty poorly. But as long as you keep the battery charged up, it is great. I got my money's worth and more.
Purchased for my son who is a travelling engineer.Saw is perfect. Highly recommended.
The saw price thru Amazon in KIT was a great price [saved shipping] even over Ebay. Plenty of power to the ovious discharge. Ran the saw thru about 6 discharges then a 24hr balance charge.Very well built unit. If you do a lot of cutting a xtra battery is necessary. GREAT blade cuppler. Worthwhile tool to own.
The saw is very powerful and will cut thorugh a lot.Of course the battery drain is according to its power - it will drain fast if you load it a lot, but that's rather a good sign.I bought it during a sale when they gave me a free extra battery. When using it intensively I would have 4 batteries, 2 charging a 2 with me.It is rather light, not too noisy and the vibrations are ok.Make sure you get the "type 2", not the "type 1"
This tool eats the batteries. I bought this to work on a remodel on a house for a friend. I use to install garage doors and could install two full-size doors on one battery using my hammer drill, but this tool kills a battery in 10-30 minutes of use. The 90 degree rotating head came in handy several times and I was glad to have the feature. I run all of my tools off DeWalt's 18v batteries and I was lucky that I had four of them when I went to the job site. With three batteries charging and one in the tool, I was able to keep a rotation and get jobs done with no waiting around, but it was close.The head unit would get hot, not unreasonable and with gloves I didn't even notice.If you plan to buy, just have extra batteries around or lose the portability and get a corded one. It works great, but don't expect miracles.
