I've only had mine for a short while but as is pretty happy with product. The ergonomics and function are great as is the norm on Makita. The efficiency or battery life to be specific is not very good, especially considering it is brushless. On the brighter side the saw has a small light on front and a battery and duty indicator. I would recommend this saw to anyone who needs to cut steel up to half inch thick for short durations. Buy the biggest battery you can get 3 ah do not last long in this beast. Always use safety goggles as well has a shroud but still throws sparks and frags.

I love this metal circular saw. I work as an electrician. And we typical cut pipe and unistrut with typically saw zall and or bandsaw. When i got this saw. I cut unistrut and pipe in about half the time i would with sawzall and or bandsaw. I like having a bandsaw but this saw cuts more faster. Of course if your cutting 4 and 5 inch pipe you are going to have a hard time cutting it with this. Butas far as for smaller stuff it does just the right job! I like it alot because it also has the battery gage which is very rare on makita tool!

I was putting up a metal frame for my fence that I was replacing. I used a reciprocating saw to cut the metal. It was not the best way, but it worked. Then I bought a metal cutting blade for my miter saw. That was ok too, but not the best. Finally finished the fence and started another metal framed project. Decided I needed to go ahead and spend the $$$ and try this saw out. I love Makita, have a lot of their 18v cordless tools. Well, like the title says, shoulda bought this a long time ago! First time I used it, it went through a 1/8" thick x 4" wide piece of steel like butter. And no sparks!! I started a grass fire in my backyard once with sparks. Used it to finish my project a lot faster. Definitely one of my better purchases, when it comes to tools!! Better yet, it's brushless. Love it since it is small and compact. Having the clear plastic in the front really helps visually and keeps a lot of the hot metal pieces from flying around everywhere. If you want a tool for cutting metal, I highly recommend this one. No electrical cords to deal with.Read full review

I own metal chop saw , metal band saw , metal power shear and a plasma cutter and by far this is my favorite....no sparks when cutting, I cut lightweight 2” square stock (3/16”) with ease... it’s just so easy to work with
