This is quite a large heavy tool but it is very capable. Have used it with bosch tree pruning blades and cut up lots of 4 to 5 inch branches. Completed the whole job on a single battery. Would highly recommend

This Makita saw is very powerful and cuts through metal very quickly. It feels reassuringly solid and good value for money. The quick change blade holder is very useful. The rubber coating provides a comfortable grip. It does feel unwieldy if you use one hand- you reallly need both hands for a controlled cut. My one disappointment is that there is no job light- I made the mistake of assuming there would be one as most makita cordless products seem to have them now.

First time I've used it was tonight, and brought out a lot of little projects I wanted to try it out on. First, I took a 7" thick log of about 4' long. I cut this into fireplace 12" long cuts in less than 5 minutes, not even making the saw work hard. Next, I had a long pallet made up of good 2X4" frame pieces. Cut through the slats and nails as if there were no nails in it. Literally the same speed as my Makita Jigsaw would cut through a 1/2" piece of plywood. Finally, had some 4" X 4" X 16" blocks of hard oak I wanted to make a mallet out of. Cut it and again went through it easily and cleanly. No burning, no lag. Good part is, got it at a lower price than Amazon. Also, it came in two days. I'm so pleased I bought it.

Surprisingly powerful, easily holds its own with mains powered versions, but it does get through the batteries quite quickly. Seems very tough and durable, thick rubber bumper at the business end to fend off any knocks. Heavy. Easy blade change with just a twist of the shank. Safety switch is a recessed toggle so can be easily left on by mistake and then it's easy to set the saw going when picking it up (especially with gloves) as the trigger is quite large and proud - makes for an exciting experience.
