In fact, I’d give it a -10 stars if I could. I searched high and low for Denali and/or batteries and did not find either. There’s NO WAY I’d purchase a tool that I have a hard time finding batteries for, and then have the battery burn out in a matter of minutes. I wish Amazon wouldn’t send me the “Great Deals” any longer.

This saw works O.K. but it is a little underpowered. It will cut a 2×4 but it will cut slower than many other consumer type 18 volt tools and is easy to stall it out. It also sucks the batteries flat very quick, 10 or 12 cuts and it is about done. Having said that it is still faster and easier than using a hand saw. At $15 or $16 it is a good value. At $30 or $40 you can do better. If you have the batteries and charger from another tool it could be a handy addition for light use, but if you need a saw that will cut 50 or 60 boards, look elswhere. Perhaps I got a bad one, but this is the least effective Denali tool I have purchased. The reciprocating saws and impact drivers work great.

Obviously people are not going to buy this as a tool to do much, but it is convienient for jobs in odd places where you can’t get a real tool. i pulled it out of the box, put a battery in it (purchased seperatly) and cut through a 2×4 with only minimal discomfort. it isn’t going to replace any tool, but a nice addition for $17. with softer material this would probably be an even better buy for you.

I bought this not expecting much. Much worse than I imagined. Loses charge after a few minutes and can’t handle anything over 1/2″ thick without problems. Very disappointed.

I cut a long piece of 5/8″ BC plywood, and it did the job marvelously. I cut a 2/4″, and it did the job. It did bog down a bit. I am not sure how many 2/4″ a person could cut on a charge, but if your just doing small jobs this is a good choice for circular saw.
One thing, I didn’t find a sawdust bag, and a sawdust bag would be helpful. Looks like there is a place for one, but haven’t been able to find one.
Another thing Denali is impossible to locate, on the web, so any information that you can’t get through Amazon; will be unanswered questions.
