For being a cordless band saw it is so powerful. I'm glad I did. After getting shipping savings, promotional savings, promotion applied savings I saved alot. The price was better than buying local. I purchased this for my boyfriend for Christmas. 2 speeds and the battery even show on the side how much life you have left before having to charge it. Overall this is a awesome product. It was a good choice.
This tool really makes work fun. The only thing I usually cut with this tool is black iron and let me say that it buzzes right through with no problems. The light is handy too since it can be difficult to see your cut under certain circumstances. I do not use this tool as often as, say the drill or the sawzall, but this is by far my favorite tool of the V28 line and my favorite tool I own period. It is very powerful and keeps up with the corded version without the inconvenience of finding an outlet and stringing out a cord. I am really thankful that the intelligent folks up in Milwaukee came up with this line of tools especially the portaband as these make mine and many others guys jobs a lot easier and more fun. Just pop the 28 volt battery in and start cutting.
the power is more than i expected and not that heavy. i saw this and i heard about how good it was. i am an electrician and i use my sawzall 85% of the day , cutting emt , uni-strut ,you name it. they were right. you got to buy the extra battery , so you don 't have any down times. my sawzall stays in the van now and this is the first thing i take out.
I also bought an additional battery. I have used the corded version for a few years and this is just as good in performance and 100% more convenient. Awesome. Cutting electrical conduit in a trench, in the rain, in the cold, in the dark, the last thing you want to deal with is finding somewhere to plug in a tool. I am surprised so-far on how long the charge in V28 lasts and how quick they charge. I bought the kit because I like to have carrying cases for all my tools.
