Review Summary

This saw has a comfortable grip with nice rubber overmold and low vibration, and it comes with a no-mar shoe pad. It displayed good power in use, but with pesky blade changes. Although the owner’s manual says this saw has a soft-start trigger, we did not experience this in testing, and the lack of a variable-speed trigger results in less control. A weak dust blower negates the built-in LED light that can’t light through an almost-blinding dust cloud.

…

Unfortunately, this saw is not what we'd expect for its premium price.
