Greatest cordless tool ever," was the title of one review, while another read, "This thing is the boss of all portable band saws." Another customer explained, "I use it almost every day. Works great. I cut everything from a 3/8-inch threaded rod to a 4-inch schedule 40 steel pipe. Cuts as well as a corded bandsaw. No mechanical or design problems were found.
