Bought this as a DIYer. It's fairly heavy but balanced and easy to use and appears to be of good quality. Have only used it a couple of times but it's exactly what I needed to cut through mortar joints and bricks in order to remove a few old cracked bricks, a task which it performed adequately. Hasn't shown any particular signs of wear so I'm hoping it will last a good while yet. Does the job for a very reasonable price - more than happy with my purchase.

Although the saw cuts through masonry like butter, the issue I found with it was that was one of the carbide tips actually broke off and another was worn down - after only one job. So although it cuts very well (even through concrete and brick) - don't expect it to have a long life. Great for small jobs and so I guess you get what you pay for. A little tip - go larger on the saw than you think you might need as it will make your life a bit easier.

I bought this saw to cut through brickwork to open up a window into a doorway. Possibly it was designed to cut soft breeze block or lightweight bricks, it certainly wasn't up to cutting old imperial solid brick.
