Very nice. Worlds better than one of the other brands I’ve had!

Nice rugged tool that cuts true and is quite similar to a ac powered tool without the chord. I’d recommend it

Great saw with plenty of torque and the battery life is good.

Previously had bought another brand cordless saw, didn’t work. Got this saw and exceeded my expectations, did cut eveything that I asked of it, will recommend.

Have only used a handful of times. Seems to work well. Quieter than I expected. If I use more and am impressed I’ll come back for 5 stars.

The saw weight is a lot compared to other 18 v cordless saw but it does work well and has a great price & warranty

First battery saw that I used like a corded saw . Raised my standard on what a battery saw should do
Milo Kuhic (verified owner) –
Great upgrade from corded Circular saw. So nice to be able to move around freely! Easy to adjust depth of cut and angle.

The saw is powerful but you have to spend the extra money and get the upgraded batteries or have a lot with a lot of chargers. Very ergonomic build and comfortable to use. Rigid is taking the place of all my power tools. They are affordable but also pack a punch. Absolutely no complaint just make sure you get the upgraded batteries (that also work for everything else!)

Great saw for the price, I was impressed how long I could cut on one battery with this brushless saw.
Elinore Shields (verified owner) –
This keeps cutting out in the middle of cutting, they claim it is binding, I will go back to my ryobi it cuts way better and cheaper, I even paid full price and no refund for 2 days later going on sale
Grady Spencer (verified owner) –
Worked flawlessly. Smoother cutting than my 20v dewalt. Ran all day with my 9ah battery
Ole Powlowski (verified owner) –
It runs well, the blade that comes with it could be better.
Nikko Brekke (verified owner) –
When running the saw, it sounds like a bearing is going bad or loose, but it works fine.
Marcel D’Amore (verified owner) –
More comfortable handle than the older version. Same great quality.

I bought this because the octane drills are great. This is not as good for long or hard cuts; I tried some 3/8″ plywood and it would bog down and just stop working; I believe the battery turned off to keep from overheating but I am speculating. I also tried it on 1/4 inch steel cargo container… I knew this would be a hard cut so I expected this to fail but not the way it did. I started cutting from the end and slowly cut all the way through all the way down expecting it to fail and it did but when I tried to score the metal the blade (metal cutoff wheel for circular saws) would cut into it just enough to go into the pain and the think would stop (again battery would shut off).I have used this on wet PT 2×12 and it works great… a little slow and underpowered but it gets the job done and for the convenience it is worth it; anything beyond that, tool is limited.
