Because I needed it today, I bought it from Lowe’s and took it home. A great little saw so far. Love Dewalt’s 12 volt tools because they are light and small, and not too expensive. I bought this saw for when I need to cut 2x4s quickly. I took a star off because of a weird problem. I have big hands, and the trigger likes to bite my second finger when I use it. There is a risk that my finger will be pinched if I’m not careful when I’m cutting wood with a saw. This is a very weird design flaw. With gloves on or two fingers on the trigger, or if my hand does not move too far up the handle, it will not pinch.
