Plenty of Power
Rating: 5
It has enough power to compete with corded worm drives, but in a super portable package. Equipped with a couple of extra batteries, it might just replace your corded model for framing all day long, and it's a great tool for any job where you need extreme portability or the convenience of not having to roll out a cord.

Great saw
Rating: 5
This saw is great. I am a general contractor. I use this saw frequently. It's very durable, I have dropped it several times from the saw horses and it still cuts true. There is plenty of power, cuts bevels with no problem. The built in rafter hook is nice when you need it. It's heavier than the 20v saw but I think the weight and size of this saw help make the cutting easier. I have both saws, but I usually leave the 20v in the shop and take this every day. The only down side is the battery can be difficult to remove sometimes. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Amazing Power
Rating: 5
There isn't anything I have encountered yet that this saw hasn't effortlessly gone through. The power in the saw is apparent as soon as you pull the trigger. If you already have the batteries for it, this saw is a great addition to your tool set. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

No shortage of power!
Rating: 5
As a commercial and residential builder we go through and use a lot of tools. I have found Dewalt's 20V Flexvolt tools to be as rugged as any corded tools out there if not better. Their 20V Flexvolt worm saw is just the best and does not lose power under heavy use. I personally use Dewalt and highly recommended this and any other Dewalt 20V Flexvolt tool as we use them all.

Great Saw

I bought this in April to do fence work but have since built cabinets. What a great tool. It is so convenient. I wish I could have had it years ago.

Best saw I've ever used
Rating: 5
I bought this saw two weeks ago and I love it. The guy I work with at work is old and thinks that no cordless saw has any power well I think you proved him wrong. I wish I had a 12 amp hour battery to go with it. It goes three 6amp hour ones pretty fast. Overall I love it
