Quality

This saw is durable i can feel it when i things with

Great heft and feel and i love the blade locking mechanism.

Cutting metal quickly softens the blade causing severe warpage which causes kick backs and damage to what your cutting.

0 batteries don't last very long , replacement batteries from makita are expansive but are the only reliable ones to purchase

Price

It’s marita it never fails me, love this thing and what great price

Spend 10$+ and get yourself a better blade and this thing is amazing.

The 5 ah from makita run about $80 each which is why the saw with 2 batteries is about $250.

00 this was a good buy for my needs.

Shipping

Delivered on time in the correct box.

Seller shipped very quickly - although the product box was basically destroyed in transit, the saw is fine.

Competitiveness

They already have the rest of the tool lineup from makita, which makes very good tools.

With makita, battery availability—both oem and knockoff—has been much better, which was a big factor in my decision.
