Perfect little saw
Rating: 5
As a commercial electrican, I use this saw every day, and it cuts just about every common material from deep strut down to allthread. Its lightweight design is fantastic and it handles all of my everyday uses with ease. My only wish is that there was a brushless version of it, but other than that, it is awesome.

Best cutting option for EMT and Strut
Rating: 5
I use this band saw everyday for 100% of my EMT cutting 1/2"-1 1/2" and Uni-Strut that I previously used my Sawall for. The blades last for 100s of cuts and are easy to replace and inexpensive. One handed cuts overhead are so easy it will change the way you run pipe saving you time and the company money.

Great for electricians

Makes short work of the most common sizes of conduit, makes far better cuts than a sawzall with less effort and a more compact package

Simply Amazing

For doing electrical work with conduit, there is no better cutter available. Its compact, light, and powerful. It gets the job done. I use it mainly for cutting EMT.

Running conduit I leave my hacksaw in the truck and my time running it has improved. Worth every penny and my shoulders thank me to.

I'm glad someone finally made this!

I use this product primarily for cutting 3/8" threaded rod, copper tubing and small iron pipe. It's good when vibrations would be harmful and a full-size portaband can't fit. It's great for threaded rod to make a quick hanger. I recently used it to remove hot water baseboard heat from a job and it made fast work of it. The 1 5/8" capacity allows me to cut tubular brass and 1 1/2" DWV drain lines quickly and easily. I'm happy with it overall. Being a battery powered saw, you don't have to baby it, but you aren't going to get the high torque you would from a regular band saw. It works well for its intended use. You get many, many cuts from the 12V battery.

Nice tool

The saw cuts though the metal project I was working on as expected. Nice tool.

Excellent tool
Rating: 5
This tool is a workhorse, definitely my go to anytime I'm looking for a Band Saw in the future. The cutting edge is precise and it slices through metal like its hot butter left out at a cookout. Would definitely get this brand in the future.
