Awesome tool
Rating: 5
I've had mine for about a year now and use it daily. Just this past week I had to replace one of the tires. This thing has been an awesome addition to my load out. Very ergonomic light even wit a battery. Easy to use in the air as well. Only downfall I have with it is the max size it cuts [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Best tool I own
Rating: 5
I spied this bandsaw for months at my local tool shop- once I finally pulled the trigger it became one of the more used tools in the trailer. Plenty of power to cut angle iron on 45's. Light enough to cut pocket door frames over your head. I wished I would have purchased this saw years ago! Last Friday- our trailer got stolen and we lost all of our Dewalt Cordless platform. Literally, every single item. Thousands of dollars of accumulated Dewalt 20v max tools. When we start rebuilding our collection- this bandsaw will be one of the first things repurchased.

I prefer the Milwaukee bandsaw to this one, but like the speed it cuts vs the Milwaukee

Buyer beware
Rating: 2
As an electrician, I have endless use for a bandsaw. I used to love DeWalt tools because they were big, heavy and durable, like me. But this saw, and the DeWalt warranty has let me down hard. After seven months the motor seized up, and I took it to the nearest DeWalt warenty center for repair. 35 miles from home. Going into week four, the shop is STILL waiting to hear from DeWalt on getting the replacement motor. Buyer beware, with only a one year warenty, DeWalt does not support it's products.

Great bandsaw for husband's needs
Rating: 5
My husband loves his new bandsaw. He needed a 2nd bandsaw so he wouldn't need to keep changing blade sizes. We received it 1 day late but were kept informed of delivery. He actually likes this band saw better then the one he already had because of the ease of changing the blade when he needs too.

Great for the money
Rating: 5
This is a hobby band saw great for cutting out little wood cars. This is not a pro bandsaw this is a 110 dollar bandsaw. For the money you get a lot. No not heavy duty but great for hobby work. Takes the best from other cheap bandsaws and makes this saw.

Unboxing = Unhappy
Rating: 1
Just put this together. The one I received will not latch on the bottom of the side that opens, so I have to take it back. In addition, there was a random bearing loosely floating in the box, so I'm a bit worried!
