Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just got my third one cause the guys fight over the two we have. Is that not review enough? If not, here's more. Ditching the cord outweighs every disadvantage to a cordless by so much it's not even a question. And as high as the price seems, look at the whole picture. A good 100 foot cord will cost $70-100, an electric saw is about $200, a new end on your extension cord cause it broke will set you back $10, a new cord on the saw cause your new guy just whacked it is $20-30. We're pushing $350 plus the time to fix all that, and we haven't even started on the convenience and efficiency by not dragging a cord around. *It has plenty of power. I can stop it, but that's usually close to the point where a worm drive will kick back. *The safety gets annoying, but I think every cordless circular saw has it. *The sawdust kicks out on the left side, so if you're making a cut at about eye level, it sucks. And if you cut siding 1½" below your soffit when doing a reside, be sure to cover the sawdust hole with duct tape or something. It WILL scratch the soffit. *When you get those left-handed cuts, the motor cuts your visibility. *Cutting bevels, it has a little worse visibility than an electric worm drive. *With moderatly heavy use, the battery lasts all day, 4-5 hours with heavy use. If your blade is dull, it cuts down tremendously on run time. *Cutting stair stringers, I'll often use a corded saw over this, but if all I have is the cordless, or if I don't have any cords out already, I'll use the cordless. Just gotta switch out batteries about three quarters of the way through a standard flight. That heavy duty of cutting will run it down fast. *EDIT* Got a 4th saw, we don't even bust out a cord on framing or siding jobs anymore, except for the compressor. And yeah, you can get lighter saws, but this isn't to be compared with other battery saws or sidewinders, it's on par with corded worm drives. All the reviews that say it's too heavy are comparing it to little boys' toys :-). We even have a small left-handed teenager that loves this saw. *EDIT* It doesn't handle the rain too well. I had one that quit working, and it took out 3 batteries because I didn't realize until after the third battery what it was doing. That being said, I sent it to a factory authorized repair facility, they sent me a brand new saw and batteries. I had a store tell me DeWalt's warranty is only good for homeowners, which turned me off of DeWalt, but when I dealt with DeWalt directly, I was treated very well.
