Customer Reviews

Great little saw
I wasn't sure why DeWalt had two 18v cordless saws. The other one is called a trim saw. I still don't know about that one, but this one is no trim saw. I was quite surprised with the run time of a battery in something like a saw that sucks power. With one battery, I can work for an hour or two, making a couple of dozen cuts in two-by lumber (mostly 2x8 & 2x10 crosscuts), or half a day cutting regular 1 inch boards. Once, I even cut about 6 4x8 cedar posts (two passes, but no problem). And since the batteries charge in an hour or less, with two batteries I'm never out of juice. I wouldn't want to frame with this saw, but for small jobs it's more than adequate (really quiet, too). For $100, you can't go wrong, the cordless convenience is a huge plus. If I were to take away anything from DeWalt tools in general, it would be those gi-normous black suitcases they come in. With this saw, a corded drill, and two routers, I almost had to add a wing to the shop to store them.

As long as you realize this is not a 12 amp worm drive saw, you won't be disappointed.

Dewalt Recon Tools
Once again I am completely satisfied with a Dewalt Reconditioned tool. I picked up a second battery and a better blade and I'm very pleased with the power and the quality of cut.

Good for a variety of tasks
I probably would have been disappointed at the non-refurbished price, but when it was on sale for around $70, I couldn't resist. Heck, the battery costs about that much. My primary circular is a PorterCable with lots of power and blade on the right. The DeWalt has blade on the other side, so I keep them both lying about when doing light framing and use one or the other depending on which end of the board I need to trim, as a right handed user. It is also very useful to run up a ladder and trim something quickly. Or to go to another floor in the house to do a quick job and not deal with hooking up an extension cord, etc. As others have said - if your expectations are grounded in reality, you will find it a useful tool.
