What Customers Are Saying

This compact and lightweight power tool is well-suited for small to medium-sized projects. It is praised for its portability, ease of use, and ability to cut through various materials with ease. The saw is described as powerful for its size and voltage, with an electric brake that stops the blade quickly. However, some noted that the battery life is limited and it may struggle with thicker lumber. Overall, this saw is a versatile and capable tool for light-duty cutting tasks.

Great lightweight and compact tools!

Would Recommend

I love Dewalt products! These 12 volt tools are light, compact and great for lighter duty projects around the house. I have some 20 volt tools for heavier duty uses.

This is a great little saw

Would Recommend

I needed something smaller and lighter than a regular size saw for jobs in smaller areas. This fit the bill perfectly for an affordable price. All of my power tools are Dewalt so my 12v/20v chargers work fine with it. Saw has good power for its size, but it is 12 volt so it’s wise too have 2 batteries.

Could be better but not bad

Would Recommend

This forces you to buy new batteries that will fit it, so the 10+ Dewalt batteries I already have loose value. Also the new batteries are too small. Also there is no 5 3/8" blade available in any other style. So it has its place but its not as good as it could be.

Not worth the money

Would Not Recommend

Not very effective for cutting anything more than an inch. Battery last about 20 minutrs. Very difficult to maintain straight cut.
