Strengths: both of my service trucks carry the Dewalt saw because we have not found a better saw, Milwaukee comes in 2nd

Weaknesses: we have not found any problems, one time the saw quit working, sounded like the gears were going out, we took into the office, layed it on the shelf and discussed about buying another, the next day one of my employees picked it up, installed a battery to try it again and write what was wrong with it to tell the repairman what needed to be done, saw started and has not quit since, great Dewalt

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Tell him to tyr to brintg down the cost, but keep making the tools they are great

Strengths: DeWalt 18v: I had a 110v Dewalt saw and then purchased an 18v saw due to having no power on job sites. Wow !!!! Super product.. I found that I use the saw more now because it is so moble. I am an Irrigation contractor and I use my dewalt everyday. Battery life is better than any other unit I ever tried. I have a spare battery in my truck and also a spare in my shop. Thousands of uses once you get one. Plenty of power..

Weaknesses: Heavy and bulky..

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: How great it was.. I would have bought one earlier!

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Try to make the unit lighter with more rpm's..

Strengths: Best recip saw I ever had. We do alot of remodeling in older homes ( plaster, metal lath, petrified oak studs/joists, etc..) Before you can make it better you have to tear it out. Some other brands I have bought more recently are in the trash. This one is a 11.9 amp( I think) It gets used and abused more then any other corded tool I have.

Weaknesses: There isn't any. But here are a few things that started happening after 5-6 yrs. 2 years ago the chuck started getting sloppy. About 6-8 months ago it quit working, I threw it in the bed of the truck, grabbed a different one and got back to work. A few weeks later I had some time was cleaning up the truck found the dewalt recip and started messing with it. All it need was a new plug, a wire broke at the plug. My guys have 3 recip,s to choose from, they all want that one. By the way, Dewalts cordless stuff is junk.

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: How good it was so I could of bought 5 of them.

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Make some blades that can keep up with the saw.
