Once upon a time... nope can't do it, to cliche. Starting over...it all began one fine spring day in March. I was dilligently looking for something, anything really, to make my DIY projects easier. When I stumbled upon this gem. As I do with most purchases, I read the inner thoughts of those who have purchased the item before me. I took a chance, hoping that it would live up to my lofy expectations. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, more like love at first use. Composite siding - challenge excepted. Wood trim- done. Backer board - easy breezy, and soft metal edging (different blade) - completed. After the completion of each project, in which this saw was needed, my kids would hear me utter these seven little words, " I am in love with this tool". They were humored by my proclamation, as they thought I was joking. But seriously, don't question a woman and her power tools. If you haven't gathered from this long winded review, this saw is amazing, not perfection as the laser light has a short life span. But, a worthwhile saw to have in the tool shed.

I bought this saw and I agree with almost all of the positive comments. BUT.....my saw cannot to set to a true 90 degree cut. It is off by 2 or 3 degrees and was clearly manufactured that way. Even for rough framing the angled cut on a 2 x 4 would be obvious. Except for this major flaw, I like the saw a lot but because it has the manufacturing flaw, I am returning it.Update. I had this saw delivered to me in Colombia. Amazon has no way for me to return the saw for a refund. They are sending lots of packages to Colombia without having a process in place to have some of those items returned. This is not a good move on Amazon's part. I have spent a lot of time with chatting with people who could not help me at all. So I am stuck with a saw that is really unusable and Amazon will do nothing about it.Update. I was contacted by the seller who offered to make things right with me. Unfortunately the saw is on the way back to Amazon. When Amazon settles with me, I will include a further update.

Used this saw to cut the odd shapes needed when installing vinyl laminate flooring. Overall the saw worked well. The thing both my son and I noticed was that the way you gripped the saw made it difficult to let go for the saw to stop. It was awkward to release your hand enough to stop the saw but also keep the saw in your hand. Also the laser light works independent of the saw. You have to turn the laser light on and off manually, which means it can easily be left on and kill the pill batteries that power the laser. They did not last long and I have yet to take the time to order new ones. A bit inconvenient. Overall it is a good little saw.

When I opened the box I wasn't impressed - just too much plastic. I understand it was to save weight and after a bit of use I began to appreciate it. The saw worked like a champ in rebuilding my lumber and composite deck. I was impressed. I would categorize it as a light-to-medium duty saw. There are a couple of nuances I found frustrating ... at times the saw would just quit (thermal or load cutout?). But I figured out this was indicative of the battery needing to be charged. I would rate the battery life as average (maybe a couple hours if used every 5-10 minutes). Lastly, cutting bale management was a challenge in tight quarters. Pulling the bale back to get a cut going turned it into a two-handed tool.

I like the idea of having a small saw for my use at a moment's notice without having to take out all of my larger ones and setting them up. The saw is accurate and cuts great. It's a little hefty to hold, but over time I was able to get very used to it, especially, the trigger. I stripped out the bolt head holding the blade on, but after contacting customer service, they sent me a new one at no charge. Great service and great follow through. I would recommend this saw for anyone who's looking for convenience so that they can get to cutting at ease. I highly recommend the saw, in fact, I purchase the second one.

I purchased this product as a light weight battery-operated alternative to the standard circular ulnar saw. The concept is good, but the design needs improvement. It is a rather heavy saw for one-handed operation and lacks a handle for two-handed operation which could improve its accuracy. Also, tHe handle grip is too thick and the start buttons are not easy to manage. The newer model looks more promising in this regard. I returned this saw and plan to purchase a corded compact saw which is likely to be lighter weight than a battery-operated model and have a more comfortable grip.

Perfect mini saw to do small projects around the house. I’m using it for trim work so I don’t have to go out to my miter saw every other minute. It is possible to get some accurate cuts with this but it takes effort and concentration. It is loud but not as loud as full size circular saws. It has a small light that illuminates your work surface somewhat.Other than that it is easy to use. Flip the safety button and pull the trigger and you're in business.It will be fun to see how long this battery holds up being that it’s not a major brand name. It does look like a similar connection to one of the brands though.Will update if anything changes.

I was looking for a Roto Razor and found this. It's still a bit big for what I cut. But it is easy to learn the functions and I found it to be useful, lightweight and m.k akes good cuts and I really liked the laser except that its separately run and easy to leave on running down the battries.ww
