Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.
