It really is powerful, and easy to use.
First time I've used it was tonight, and brought out a lot of little projects I wanted to try it out on.
First, I took a 7" thick log of about 4' long. I cut this into fireplace 12" long cuts in less than 5 minutes, not even making the saw work hard.
Next, I had a long pallet made up of good 2X4" frame pieces. Cut through the slats and nails as if there were no nails in it. Literally the same speed as my Makita Jigsaw would cut through a 1/2" piece of plywood.
Finally, had some 4" X 4" X 16" blocks of hard oak I wanted to make a mallet out of. Cut it and again went through it easily and cleanly. No burning, no lag.
Good part is, got it at a lower price than Amazon. Also, it came in two days.
I'm so pleased I bought it.
