AI Review Summary:
Across major retailers, customers consistently praise the saw’s lightweight build and one‑hand usability for overhead cuts and tight spaces. Many report fast cutting speed in conduit and strut, with smooth control from the variable speed trigger and minimal vibration. Durability of the Jobsite Armor housing and the convenience of the rafter hook are highlighted. Common neutral notes include the 12V platform’s limited runtime on smaller batteries; buyers recommend using higher‑capacity M12 packs. Occasional negatives mention blade tracking adjustments needed out of the box and that the tool‑only purchase requires additional blade types for thicker stock. Representative quotes: “Perfect for EMT and Unistrut—cuts fast and clean.” “Surprisingly light, easy to use one‑handed.” “Use a 4.0Ah or higher battery for longer sessions.” “Had to tweak tracking, then it ran true.”
