I mainly use it for cutting pipes, etc. and for some light pruning around the house. There are more powerful saws in this category, but due to its small stroke length and low weight, I preferred it because it offers greater precision and better control with one hand. I also have other battery-powered tools from Dewalt, so it is quite convenient due to the platform. If you need more power, you know why and if you don't have Dewalt batteries and chargers, I would recommend choosing another one.
Sturdy construction (made in China), easy blade change - it goes up and down, and it also has an LED light.
Good trigger response, you lose a bit of it if you wear gloves but I think it's reasonable.
Relatively quiet, minimal vibrations, and very good balance in hand. It also stands upright on the battery (tested on a 5Ah). Some people are in favor of this, some are against it.
It heats up quite a bit under strain and continuous use (for example, I was cutting rusted screws about 1cm thick between flanges), but it continued to work normally.
Decent autonomy depending on the battery, I use it with a 5Ah and it holds up very well. Generally, though, saws drain the battery.
Also, the shoe follows the curve you are cutting and creates two notches on the bottom for hanging wherever you can.
Okay, I would prefer it to be a bit lighter and for the shoe to be adjustable inside and outside, but let's not be greedy.
One thing I have to note is that I bought the version with the tstak case, and from the first time I took it out, I was puzzled about how to put it back in properly. It's not like the tool just slides in, something didn't fit right. So, I searched for the codes online for the insert of the case (we called it "inlay for tstak" in my village) and I saw that this specific insert is for a drill driver and impact driver, not for this saw. The codes are the ones shown in the photo (N*******). It might have been a mistake from the specific store where I bought it because I saw it elsewhere - mainly abroad - with a different case (with a fixed handle, not foldable). So, I managed to fit it with the battery and charger in the familiar Stanley bag for around €10, and the lost case won't be a problem.
Overall, the tool is very good and recommended.
Health to everyone.
