Here's a saw packing the power of Makita and the convenience of cordless, the best of both worlds. It's incredibly light and a cinch to handle, and at 4.6 pounds, it's easy on the body. All the adjustments are clear and easy to change. Makita's batteries have a great reputation for good reason—they deliver plenty of power and hold their charge. This little saw is so versatile, we can imagine using it for dozens of things: cutting sheets, trim, rows of dowels for crafters, flooring, you name it. It evens bevels to 45 degrees—we think that's a great feature for such a small package. The clever design leaves it feeling totally balanced in your hand. You'll find yourself reaching for it instead of the standard 7-inch saw, and it will get the job done.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Reviews

Trim saw
Ugly, but it does the job, and its light as a feather! Great for cutting thinner trim but it has its limitations. Spins the blade fairly slowly but its fast enough to cut to a good finish. Seems to be variable torque that kicks in to maintain blade speed under any load. Plenty of battery life too and great for small or detail cutting. Perhaps a blade with just a few more teeth would have been a batter match for this saw, but the blades are so small, you probably couldnt fit a lot more teeth anyway!

Good for trim work only really. Not enough cut capacity for anything else.

Best little saw ever!!
I bought this saw for my big task of replacing 13 windows in my house! I have 2 windows to go and this saw has worked PERFECT! I would recommend it to anyone! By the way I am quoting my husband I didn't actually use the saw myself =)

Not Bad for the money!
Yes, I read a lot of reviews on this saw and the cheaper one and glad I went with this one. Although not the high speed of larger ones, I have used mine on drywall, wood, molding and backer board and all with the stock blade so I can't complain. I really didn't think it would do that well because you know you can't afford to buy cheap tools and for $178 it was well worth it. Not many Mfg's make this size saw and it' s nice to have. Wish DeWalt would make one..
