AI Review Summary:
Across Home Depot reviews, users praise the saw’s compact size and one‑handed use for EMT, conduit, and copper pipe, noting clean cuts and time savings. Battery life with the XC pack is generally considered strong for service calls. Some mention the 1-5/8 in. capacity as limiting for larger stock and advise having extra blades for frequent metal work. A few report the brushed motor and smaller blade can bog on thicker materials, but most rate performance highly for intended light‑to‑medium tasks. Representative quotes: “Perfect for overhead EMT—light and fast,” and “Great for copper and threaded rod; keep spare blades.”
