I have owned this saw for six months now and use it every day as a framing contractor. It is very light and quiet. Has plenty of power and I am buying two more today. Buy one you won't be disappointed.

If light weight and less noise sounds good to you this is a great saw. But mine came with no paperwork (instructions, warranty card, etc.) or blade change tool and Amazon never followed though.

Do not let the modest 10.5 amp power rating or this saws lightweight of 7.7 pounds disuade you- this saw means business.
I like the lightweight and the low noise of just 84 decibels as they make this saw a pleasure to use for long periods. The only thing I will not use this saw for is concrete- my craftsman has to be good for something!
