For a compact saw, this thing has surprising power—I ripped through some pressure-treated lumber without it bogging down once. The brushless motor really does make a difference, and it's light enough to use one-handed for quick cuts.

Cutting through 2x4s all day on a single battery charge surprised me – the POWERSTATE motor really does deliver consistent torque without bogging down. The 5-3/8" blade makes tight cuts in plywood and trim that my bigger saw struggles with. For a compact saw, it’s got enough guts for most framing jobs around the job site.

Was a bit skeptical about a 12V saw for framing, but the POWERSTATE motor ripped through plywood like nothing. The brushless design really keeps the battery going, too.

Cutting through pressure-treated 2x4s like butter with this little saw, and the POWERSTATE motor never bogs down even on a full battery charge. The built-in LED light is a godsend when working inside a dark stud wall. I’ve already used it on three jobs and the dust blow-off keeps my cut line visible every time.

I was skeptical a 12V saw could cut through 2x4s, but the POWERSTATE motor proved me wrong — it ripped through half a dozen without slowing down. The blade visibility is fantastic, making plunge cuts easy to line up. Perfect for tight attic work where my bigger saw just won't fit.

Finally, a compact saw that actually has the guts to cut 3/4" plywood all day without bogging down. The blade stays at full RPM even under load, and it fits perfectly in my tool pouch.

Cut through a stack of 2x4s in under ten seconds without bogging down, even with the battery at half charge. The compact size makes it easy to maneuver one-handed for quick trim cuts.

Been using this for a couple weeks now and the POWERSTATE motor really rips through pressure-treated lumber without bogging down. The lightweight feel makes overhead cuts way less tiring than I expected.

Surprised how well it handles even with just a 12V battery—the brushless motor really does make a difference when ripping pressure-treated lumber. The blade visibility is excellent, letting me follow cut lines accurately without any guesswork.

Cutting through stacked ¾-inch plywood sheets felt like a hot knife through butter, and the built-in rafter hook is a lifesaver on job sites. Battery life surprised me too—got through a full day of trim work without swapping packs.
