Excellent portable onsite option
Rating: 5
I have owned and depended on this power saw for a long time. The true alignment is so stable and precise. A defining proof to the excellent craftsmanship of a solidly built device. This tool gets moved around and bumped a lot and is put through a lot and stays true when I need it. I remain a happy and proud Dewalt tool owner. I look forward to my next Dewalt tool to add to my shop. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

A must-have! Incredible saw.
Rating: 5
I have performed so many tasks with this saw. Everything from ripping down full sheets of 3/4" mdf to making many cuts on treated 2x12 material. I built an entire 10 x 20 deck with this saw and one battery. I have cut 4x4's with it ( cut one side then other). I have a friend who previously built houses and he used it the other day and was impressed with the power and functionality. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

5 stars for every single category!

Purchased this saw a few months ago and the power that it produces is unbelievable. First used it to complete a job trimming 40 doors and the way the saw cut right through the wood left me speechless. Never expected to receive this much power and stability from a cordless saw. Dewalt really outdid themselves with this product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great saw!!
Rating: 5
I bought this saw along with a new impact driver and drill, and I could've happier, cordless tools have come along way, the power of this saw is comparable to a corded saw and the freedom from the cord is worth every penny. I have convinced other contractor friends of mine to purchase one for themselves. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
