Love it
I use this tool for cutting vinyl siding every day. Way faster than using my snips. I cut some steel with it also worked awesome. The handle is a little towards the small side but still easy to hold!

    Compact and Powerful Tool
    Just like the other reviews state, this is a compact and powerful tool with very good speed, even with a smaller battery. It is a nice option to include or remove the dust guard. Only minor item is the forward/reverse button seems to contradict the arrows above the blade, but maybe that's just me. Either way, great tool, glad I purchased it.

    The only problem is that the tool did not come with an allen wrench to install and change wheels otherwise it works great

    Destroys the Milwaukee M12, but has a few issues..
    a. It failed to cut a tile in half! I'm not sure if it'll handle a thicker blade, but this lacks the ability to cut efficiently through tile. As the blade heated up SIGNIFICANTLY, it produced hot embers that were then sucked into my vacuum. I had to move the vacuum outside and empty the contents as to not cause a fire. I walked it through slow and the saw/blade combo didn't work. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO FINISH MY TILE CUTS WITH MY ROTOZIP.... Cool saw for other materials.....not tile work...

      Great Tool for Tile Work and siding
      I bought this for siding and cement board but you could not see the notch to cut on the line. so i removed the vacuum port with my dewalt 4" grinder. this saw is amazing better then a 4" grinder for cement board cuts a perfect line every time it has forward and reverse it kicks and jumps if it is in reverse when trying to cut forward mine did not come with the metal shroud. we have cut everything with it from metal to plywood if you do tile work or siding you wont regret buying this saw.

        Boggs down more than I'd like and blades aren't as widely available as 4in but it does the job. Ability to reverse direction and throw the sparks away from your face is awesome.

        Great little tile cutter
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried to use the 3 inch Cut-Off tool to cut some pieces of ceramic tile for a backsplash, did not cut very well with tile being loose, installed tile and then tried to cut holes for electrical outlets, did more less a plunge cut and the saw worked beautifully, saw worked well getting in tight places, got the job done in no time with little mess, I sure I will find other uses on metal and so forth, a wood blade would be great with this saw. Great little saw.
