I bought this "Bare-Tool", as I already own another DeWalt tool and have spare batteries and a charger. I have a 18 volt "Black & Decker Firestorm" saw of this type, but it is very under powered, and the battery packs do not last well. This DeWalt will out saw the B & D numerous times over and is an excellent buy.
I usually use a corded saw but sometimes there is no juice available so I need a cordless saw. I have many DeWalt tools so I already have many batteries and only needed the "bare tool" model. I really like the left side blade because I am right handed. However, you get a face full of saw dust and I think DeWalt needs to address this with better exhaust.
Only complaint is battery life, but I have not upgraded to lithium-ion yet. I'm a general contractor and use this saw often. Good weight, handles well, and has a thin kerf. I would recommend this saw. Great value as well.
This saw is an exceptional value. I found other places for well over a $100.00. The saw was shipped when they said it would and it arrived on time. I buy from these folks again.
Read the reviews and looked at the pictures prior to ordering and was convinced that blades came with the saw. Love the saw and the concept of bare tool. Big deal was made of the fact that batteries do not come with the saw. WRONG. Just be forewarned; order blades with the bare tool.
