Great saw!

I purchased this saw for those small projects that you don't need the big heavy saw (7.5" 18volt). I took it out of the box & fully charged the battery. It has worked great for me! I made 26 cuts on 2x6s. It sliced through them like butter! The last few cuts were in an odd position & I kept binding the saw. The battery would then show only 1 bar. After a couple of minutes it it would be back to 2. I could probably made several more cuts, but the project was done. This saw is very light, Except for the base plate it is all plastic. This shouldn't be a problem unless you are rough on you tools. Good speed, plenty of power, great value! buy this saw!!

I enjoyed the saw for a few weeks until recently it just gave out after 15 minutes of use. Seems the motor gets very hot
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great portable saw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a nice 4” blade that cuts thin plywood pretty well. I do like that it has a straight edge jig attached to it to help make quick cut straight lines. It’s a great tool for quick cuts and getting a job done quickly. Battery is very nice as well and even has a usb port on it which I have never seen before on power tool batteries.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great little saw. I'm definitely a fan.

This thing is awesome. I had been looking at the Yellow and Black one for a very long time but I don't particularly like that brand so I was thrilled to see this one. It's really well balanced and easy to use. There's only so much you can say about a saw but it's great. If I had to come up with a criticism I'd say a little bit more power would be nice but it has ample power to do it's job and I'm still using the factory blade, I'm sure it would be better with an upgraded blade. Secondly I'm surprised on this one, Where's the belt hook? It needs one. If you are on the fence it's well worth the money and you'll be happy with it. It's nice not to have to pull the bigger ones out even if they are cordless too.

This saw offers everything I need for small jobs. I was suby the power and ease at which this thing went through a 2 inch think wooden planks. It's versatile and lightweight with the battery installed. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a laser light guide.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
