Hello all...

Just wondering if anybody has any experience with this unit.
I was curious if it lived up to it's claims of being able to 
cut 125 2x4's or rip 130 feet of 1/2 inch plywood, all on one 
charge. Any comments welcome. 

Thanks in advance,
Mike

> charge. Any comments welcome.

I have one but have never run the battery down on it. The most I've cut
is around 36 2x4s but it was still going strong. It's a little awkward
to keep the sole plate down until you get used to it and I have to keep
reminding myself that though it's so small it's still a dangerous tool.
I find it handy to cut plywood with since my shop area is so tight that
it's hard to get large sheets on the table saw.

I guess I'm trying to say I like it.

Gerry

I bought the combo 1/2" drill/saw in Dec. for use in remodeling. I
haven't kept track of how many 2X4's or plywood cuts made on a single
charge but am very pleased with the performance of both tools. The saw
is light and powerful enough to cut 3/4" MDF and old Doug. fir 2X4's.
The beauty of the saw is it's light weight for the power. Before I
used a worm drive Skil saw for cutting which was too cumbersome for
many smaller tasks. The drill is solid and only slows down at the end
of the charge.
