I picked this saw up for my projects and repairs around the house. It is simple to use, and has shown to be durable so far. I have used to to cut re-bar for a concrete form, and to repair sections of my fence. It has plenty of power, and the battery life is more than adequate. I cut thru 30 pieces of 1/2" bar, and it didn't shown any sign of power fade. I have cut off a couple old 2x4's also, and its still running strong. I'm very happy with the portability, power, and battery life. One improvement I would suggest for this and all recip saws would be a speed range selector (similar to the drills). The only way to control the speed is thru the trigger switch. Overall, for me (an average homeowner), this was a good investment.
