Great tool, much better than a cordless one. Anti-vibration technology works very well. Tons of power and never seems to struggle. I have cut just about everything with it. Highly recommend. Only negative is its weight.

Nice Heavy

This is a great saw for bench work. It is very smooth and fast, and fits well in the hand even though it is larger than many others.

br /The only "fly in the oitment" is the weight, which is important if working on site, or under a vehicle as I have. Holding the saw up and cutting will rapidly fatigue the user. However, the saw is so fast and smooth that fatigue-creating positions will be thankfully short.

br /Blade change is easy, speed control using the trigger is nice as well.

br /If you can manage a 10 pound saw while upside down, or if that isn't so imprtant to you, then this saw is nearly perfect.
