I bought this not expecting much. Very disappointed. Much worse than I imagined. Loses charge after a few minutes and can't handle anything over 1/2" thick without problems.
One thing, I didn't find a sawdust bag, and a sawdust bag would be helpful. I cut a 2/4", and it did the job. I cut a long piece of 5/8" BC plywood, and it did the job marvelously. It did bog down a bit. Looks like there is a place for one, but haven't been able to find one.Another thing Denali is impossible to locate, on the web, so any information that you can't get through Amazon; will be unanswered questions. I am not sure how many 2/4" a person could cut on a charge, but if your just doing small jobs this is a good choice for circular saw.
It also sucks the batteries flat very quick, 10 or 12 cuts and it is about done. Perhaps I got a bad one, but this is the least effective Denali tool I have purchased. At $30 or $40 you can do better. It will cut a 2x4 but it will cut slower than many other consumer type 18 volt tools and is easy to stall it out. This saw works O.K.
If you have the batteries and charger from another tool it could be a handy addition for light use, but if you need a saw that will cut 50 or 60 boards, look elswhere. but it is a little underpowered. Having said that it is still faster and easier than using a hand saw. The reciprocating saws and impact drivers work great. At $15 or $16 it is a good value.
Obviously people are not going to buy this as a tool to do much, but it is convienient for jobs in odd places where you can't get a real tool. with softer material this would probably be an even better buy for you. i pulled it out of the box, put a battery in it (purchased seperatly) and cut through a 2x4 with only minimal discomfort. it isn't going to replace any tool, but a nice addition for $17.
