This is a handy tool to have. The bigger version sits at home in the shed now, as this is more convenient. The new trigger on the 'barrel' of the saw is very comfortable to use and helps you press it firmly against the whatever you are cutting - this is essential as otherwise all that happens is the blade moves your hand up and down instead of cutting the timber! So why three stars? Build quality is poor for makita. I have had to replace the machine screws that connect the blade holder to the tool several times. No point getting it repaired under warranty just for them to shear off again. Ho hum. I would prefer to pay more money for a more solid tool. Maybe they will iron out the faults for the next generation.( cf multitool)
