AI Review Summary:
Across major retailers, buyers praise the saw’s compact size and one‑handed control for overhead cutting, frequent mentions including clean, fast cuts on EMT, copper, and threaded rod; many note excellent portability and low vibration. Runtime with M12 XC batteries is commonly described as sufficient for small‑to‑medium tasks, though some users wish for more speed or power on thicker stock. Occasional critiques include blade tracking adjustments and the tool being underpowered for heavy materials. Representative quotes: “Perfect for conduit—light enough to use on a ladder,” “Cuts are smooth and square with minimal burrs,” and “Great for quick jobs; reach for a larger saw for heavy bar or thick pipe.”
