This saw is a well designed, easy to use mid-level tool. Makita has a reputation for making good, useful tools. This is a good saw for homeowners and do-it-yourselfers with little or no experience of tool use. The dual saftey locks protect the user from accidents while giving you an option to use one or two hands while working. I would not suggest trying to use this for heavy demolition or construction as neither the battery power nor the saw motor will handle it well. Other than that, it is a good and useful home tool.

This Mikita saw is very lightweight, but doesn’t have the power to get much done. I tried using it to trim branches on a soft wood tree, and had to get out a 110v powered saw and run an extension cord across the yard. It’s just too light weight for my use.

I was actually after a larger saw than this like I currently had been using & been kinda concerned. What will I do if it quits or damaged. But when I received this, I thought Rut-Roh-It's too light and I hadn't even opened it yet. But I've been using it & it's great for pruning or trimming one armed. It's not very heavy but it's got the power. And it takes the same battery as my other cordless tools that are Makita. The heavier one I already owned I use mainly for cutting out trees at the root under ground. For pruning & put ya a SKIL UGLY pruning blade on there & go at it. And for the price I'm pleased as I have nerve damage in my right shoulder,arm and hand. I can even use this left handed.

Great for medium duty applications. I use my to cut 3" PVC plastic pipe. One hand operation makes it easy to hold your material for a quick cut. Not as fast as a larger cordless Sawsall. It's light weight, and your able to position it into small working areas.

Great product fits hand comfortably the angle of handle helps in different positions when in use and is lightweight the 18 V Power supply gives you plenty Power to cut TH I CK boards. The blade guard is adjustable so you can utilize the whole blade when parts of blade DU LL and it is easy to adjust. When battery is on tool it balances in the hand very well
