DeWalt is out-sourcing a little too much to China [Posted on 2007-03-17] I bought one of these, new with DeWalt blade, on eBay for $60 delivered. I already have four 18v batteries, so I needed none of those. I was a bit shocked to see that it comes with a plastic blade guard. Since that's what the saw rests on when you put it down, it is not likely to last long. The safety switch is awkward to use. The general heft and feel of the thing is not up to the quality of my three DeWalt drills. It works well enough for a light duty saw and it is worth about what I paid for it, so I'm satisfied with the purchase, but just a little disppointed with the fall-off in DeWalt quality.
AWESOME Saw! [Posted on 2007-06-22] What a gem! Light weight, maneuverable, easy to use & a REAL BARGAIN! Can't figure out what all the problems other people are having with the safety button? I find it a breeze to use. I guess one should read the whole description on the item before buying it & you'll see in plain English TOOL ONLY! This unit is plenty tough enough to do jobsite duty. Just keep a spare battery charged up & you won't have any problems.
Tolerable, but only if you already have a bunch of XRP tools [Posted on 2008-02-20] I work as a contractor, and have many different DeWalt XRP cordless tools. All of the others are excellent, but I ahve found this saw to be terribly balanced, with an awkward safety switch. Also, While it is OK for light framing use, the blade speed isn't hihg enough for any application that demands a clean cut. Overall, the tool is fairly handy, and I'm glad I glad i have it, since its a lot lighter than my Skilsaw, but this saw needs a serious redesign.
Great Saw but... [Posted on 2008-03-07] I love the saw but it didn't include a blade. The Amazon description says "6-1/2" Carbide Tipped Blade for 2x Cutting Capacity at 90 and 45 Degrees". Also - It looks new, as advertised, but wasn't in a factory box; just a plastic bag in a off-the-shelf box. I'd still recommend it, just be sure to buy a blade.
Portable circular saw [Posted on 2008-05-02] This was cheaper than local hardware stores. Light and easy to use. My husband loves it for smaller jobs.
