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.
