Overview
A rechargeable pack feeds a high wattage motor that turns a high speed steel blade at a fast rate. The listing gives a capacity and weight but never states the saw type.
High power and speed let the saw work through thick stock without a cord. The model is sold as a battery powered tool and the listing names no battery. The capacity figure gives a rough idea of cutting reach.
Who it's for
Framers and remodelers who cut lumber on site without outlets will like the speed and power. Anyone wanting a complete kit should check what ships with it before buying.
Pros and cons
- High listed power and speed
- Cordless for job sites
- High speed steel blade material

- Battery and charger not listed
- Saw type not stated

- Blade size not given
Performance notes
Blade speed and motor wattage set how smoothly it holds speed under load. Runtime depends on the battery capacity chosen. Thick stock needs slow feed to avoid stalling.
