I was in the store looking for a tool to trim up thorny rose bushes and a lot of other overgrown shrubs, bamboo This tool was labeled 2018 HD innovative tool of the year but is about $30 more than older model Makita sawzall. I decided to give it a try with my 3 amp-hour battery. I’ve also purchased a Diablo 12” pruning blade as this tool comes with no blades. The sawzall employs a no-tool method to attach the blade. It seemed at first the blade was a bit wobbly. I couldn’t find anything in the instructions regarding this. After a few more tries this was the best I could do. So away I went and the sawzall did a fine job. But I did notice this sawzall is not a light weight tool. Women will definitely need both hands to control this tool. It does have the feel of a well built tool. Makita has their own factories but no doubt this was made in China.
