Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Well Designed and Manufactured ... Has a die cast machined base plate that makes for smooth and accurate cuts. The trigger and safety thumb switch are very easy to use right or left handed compared to the DeWalts' I have been using. Well balanced with the Lithium battery. Another neat feature is the depth gauge on the blade guard that makes for easy setting of the blade depth. This saw more than met my expectations. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-31 Summary: Cut through wood like butter. ... I have the Makita's BSS610 and I love it. I fast battery charger makes it so I always have power. This unit spins up fast and cuts like the wind, just keep the batteries fresh or it will lose spin-power on you quick. I found I could cut about 30-60 2x4s easily with a single 1.5 Amp battery. The 3.0 amp battery is nice, but the quick charger takes care of me with a pair of 1.5 amp batts. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-10 Summary: Cowboy Up Contracting ... Got this in the mail two days ago. I intended on using until I got my DeWalt runnig again (Ipe and remodeling, is hard on chordless saws). Well I put it through the paces today w/ the Makita blade that came on it none the less. And it is now the main tool and the DeWalt is the back up. I can't wait till I get the Freud Diablo blade on it to see what it can really do! Easy to use rip fence, good eurognomics, smooth running and powerful. A great chordless saw. Won't replace the corded Bosch but it rocks! ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-10 Summary: Black & Decker no longer makes these 7 volt VPX tools ... This tool set has excellent power for a 7 volt system. Tools are small, light weight cousins of full size, high voltage portable tools. If you are use to a "clutched" drill/screwdriver, the clutchless drill/driver can take you by surprise when a screw reaches it's depth, or a drill bit suddenly stops turning. Defiantly a 2 handed operation if you want save your wrists. It has very, very good power. I drove several 3-1/2" screws fully into 2 x 4's without any problem at all. The chuck is a quick release 1/4" hex. The ...more
