I haven't owned a battery powered saw but there are many times that I wished I had one at the salvage yards. I've had to remove many exhaust manifolds down pipes at the salvage yard. The down pipes are hell to remove without a saw. If I ever bought one I'd buy a Makita only because my tools have been so indestructible and reliable. The only reason I bought the drill and screw driver set was that a friend had a set that I had used many, many times and I couldn't believe how well they performed and how quick the batteries recharged.
