I purchased this from Amazon a few weeks ago and have put this saw through its paces on a shed re-build project and a porch roof repair. Great power, and not having an extension cord in the way all the time is just fantastic. Plenty of power in this unit, and far less "jump" while going through sheet wood than with other saws. I read that some one complained about this saw weighing too much, but it feels just right to me - and you WANT some weight directly over the work in the first place. I also advise that you turn the saw on its back (lock the switch so no unintentional starts!) before inserting a new blade so you can see it go all the way "home" before you release the tool-less loading flap (great feature!) so the blade won't fall out when the saw is turned on. Last - use Bosch blades (sorry Dewalt); I tried the Dewalt assortment for this saw first, but the Bosch progressor blades are just much better and let this saw really shine.
