Kickin' little saw [Posted on 2001-10-03]
First off, this is battery powered, duh! So don't expect to build a house with just one battery, and don't expect a battery powered saw to hang with a corded one. That said, this is a great little saw. B&D supplied it with a pretty good blade as well. Definately go and get at least another battery. For big projects, I use 3 batteries: One charging, one cooling, and one in the saw.
battery lasts for 2-3 cuts [Posted on 2002-08-14]
This would have been a great tool if the battery lasted. Even though I have four batteries from other Firestorm tools, I still ran out of power very quickly. I ended up having to use my regular plug in circular saw all the time and now I don't even carry this tool in my truck.
worthless junk [Posted on 2002-09-01]
the battery life makes this saw useless. it makes only 2 or 3 cuts before you notice it loses power. that's absolutely ridiculous. i wasted my money on this tool.
mislead [Posted on 2002-10-28]
I read many of the reviews that pertained to this item before I perchased it. Although many of them stated that the battery that came with the saw wasn't up to par, it wasn't a problem for them because they owned some 14.4V DeWalt tool and the batteries were interchangeable so they would use the DeWalt battery and the saw preformed fine. I own two 14.4V DeWalt drills, one 3/8 in. and one 1/2 in. chuck. This gave me four back-up batteries. It was because of these reviews that I purchased this saw, based on the fact that I could use my other batteries as needed to do a job. Well, the batteries are not interchangeable. They are completely different. I guess Black & Decker has changed their design or something, but they are not the same. My beef is, your picture shows the older style. One with a battery that might interchange with DeWalt. Your pictures and review information is misleading. I also read on my invoice that I can return the item, no questions asked, in its new, unopened container. I didn't (couldn't) descover the problem until after I had opened it. Needless to say, I wasn't happy with my purchase.
Great saw for small jobs, powerless for big jobs [Posted on 2005-03-16]
Let me just add a quick review here since I own this saw and have been using it for almost a year now with the rest of my Firestorm cordless powertools.
For small jobs (cutting lots of thin boards, or making just a few cuts on a couple of big boards) this is a PERFECT little saw. The problem is when you've got a big job and need a circular saw for huge boards or a full day of cutting ... this cordless saw cannot do that.
This is the perfect saw if you are a homeowner who does the odd DIY job around the house but does NOT work with powertools every day or even every weekend. If you need a serious circular saw, there are a couple stronger cordless saws out there ... but so far the best circular saws for keeping up with huge jobs are circular saws that use power cords.
