Everything works great, just make sure you buy a different blade from the one that comes in the box. I went with diablo.

Great battery power tool for the DIYer.

I had the battery and charger and needed this kind of tool and it seems to perform well, so that’s why i bought it. I agree with others that it will not do the number of cuts advertised. But for the money and the jobs I have as a homeowner, it is powerful and very convenient as a cordless, and light and easy to manage, relative to a wired Skil saw. Big job? Go 120. Anything else and this is super convenient and powerful enough to do the job.

Cuts well for a 12V circ saw. Nice addition to my m12 tools.

Light weight and powerful. Really performs best with 4.0 or higher batteries.

I’ve been using this saw for over a year on a variety of DIY projects. It’s worked really well for the most part. I love that it’s light and compact; easy to carry around and transport. I’ve been working mostly with 2×4 pine and 1/2 plywood, and this saw cuts through them easily. I recently tried the saw on 3/4 plywood and 2×4 cedar and this saw struggled a lot. I barely got through one straight cut (slowly) on the 2×4 cedar before the battery would overheat or give out. In the end, I used a corded circular saw to finish the job. I still like this saw and would recommend it for most DIYers. Still, I’m now shopping for a more powerful saw.

I’m a commercial electrician, so we don’t use wood too much. But this saw impressed us. Cuts 1” plywood and 2x4s fast and east. Great for notching too

The M12 saw I recently purchased worked great for light use sawing. I purchased that saw because I already have 2 M12 drills with batteries that l can interchange when working on a project. Milwaukee could produce a cutoff wheel that fits the saw for cutting light metal. I was unable to find a compatible wheel for such use. With like accessories the saw would be a 6-star tool.

The M12 was light but powerful. Made my cutting easier and faster. Awesome.
Camilla Nader (verified owner) –
I bought them as replacements for a battery that failed. It was easier and quicker for me to buy and return the old ones since store inventories are so inaccurate, my local store thought they had 22 on hand but had none.
