Review: Quality product. - Good tool. light, balanced with plenty of power. Blade change is easy. Allen wrench for blade change stores securely on the saw. Great for times when you don't need the depth of a circular saw. I used the wood blade to successfully cut vinyl siding. As with most Dewalt tools battery life is great. Review: YOU NEED THIS!! - Wow, this small cutoff tool is incredibly impressive! I used it to cut my entire patio, and the results went beyond my expectations. The powerful performance it provides makes it ideal for cutting stone and masonry easily. Its lightweight design and simple handling have quickly made it my favorite tool for working with stone. If you're searching for a dependable, efficient tool that gets the job done effortlessly, this is the one you need! The cordless feature is also a bonus.
