Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tool for its surprising power, lightweight design, and ease of use, with many highlighting fast cutting through wood, branches, and nails without bogging down. The tool-free blade change and battery compatibility with existing cordless systems are widely appreciated conveniences. However, a notable group reports sudden motor failures accompanied by smoke or burning smells, sometimes after just a few uses or within a couple of years, which undermines confidence in long-term durability. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the performance and value compelling enough to recommend.

Would Not RecommendI took it out of the box and tried to put the blade that came with it in the chuck, and now the chuck won't close. I had it out of the box for like 40 seconds and it's already broken. I ordered it on line because the nearest lowes is 40 mins away but now I have to drive there to replace this. thing

Craftsman Saw - Does Work
Would RecommendThe Craftsman Saw really works on cutting branches and small trees. Glad i purchased. Its small and lightweight to hold and use. Has the lock feature so you do not accidentally turn on the saw. I also purchased the 3 package inch blades. The batter last for hours and ease and recharge fast. Didn't need to use my back up battery. I like irs a blade and no chain to worry with jumping off. Great investment.
