The little saw is excellent for cutting PVC pipe for plumbing and for small cuts that don’t require the heft of a full size saw. Very light and easy to handle in tight spots.

Exactly what I was looking for. Does a great job!

A very nice size for smaller jobs. We use it for trimming jobs around the yard, including our bamboo patch. Being cordless and relatively light, it’s easy to use and to fit into tight spots. I like the two batteries – keeps things lighter yet there’s always a backup battery ready to go. Comes with two blades. I would have liked at least four with the purchase. Choose this rather than the larger model if you want a better price and a lighter saw.

This saw is only a 12 volt but it works sweet! It’s perfect for all the small tasks when you don’t need that big sawz all. The pistol grip trigger is great! A must buy for all those small tasks.

Ended up with the 12v instead of the 18v I thought I was buying, but it may be HD enough to do what I need to do with it, just makes thing smoother with all tools using the same battery, only one charger needed, when I bought this one, there was only one in the store, and I didn’t notice for a couple of weeks, that it wasn’t the 18v, but we’ll see.

So far I have used it twice on hard to reach plumbing without any problems. The compact size and low recoil enabled me to work under the sink with ease.

My husband put the saw to work immediately on our remodel. I wish I had got one with more power.
