Pros & Cons
Pros
Nothing to dislike. Bogs down slightly with 5. Comfortable in my hand.
Works very well for framing and siding.
Batteries outlast all the other brands. I've retired most of my corded power tools. Used batteries from my cordless drills.
Cons
It has a hard time cutting any two by stock lumber. The blade guard is to close to the cutting deck, so that when the guard pushes against the lumber it doesn't slide down. Even when you push past zero, it falls short of perpendicular.
The hex key falls out and is completely loose without anything to hold it in. There is an issue with these saws that is recurring and even with factory repair/replacement the issue continues. Hopefully the return process goes smoothly.
I own many m18 tools and this one is the first to disappoint me.

Good saw works welli have 8 hamper batteryand it works great
Brushless and blade on the correct side to see what your doing
Its and issue when your up high on a beam and it wont sit flat on the surface
Price
I was able to get this for a few bucks cheaper than it would have been at one of the big box stores so that is automatically a plus
This is a little more pricey than the other brands but worth every penny
For the price of 170 that i paid you cant beat it
Shipping
I ordered it and got it the next day
I went online and registered with milwaukees eservice printed a shipping label and two weeks later i had a brand new replacement
Packaging/appearance
Seller provided exactly as advertised new never used packaged well no defects all items included
Delivery was prompt boxed very well with the milwaukee box inside another box
Competitiveness
Im not loyal to one brand or another as i own different brands depending on the tool
Ill never go back to any other brands after using this saw
Just switching over to milwaukee tools from the yellow guys
