Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com:Hands down, we love this saw. It's packing as much power as its corded colleagues—-maybe more—-but with the awesome convenience of a cordless. It sacrifices nothing in the way of strength or guts with its 1-inch stroke length and 2,900 strokes per minute. It's relatively lightweight for its power, but the battery does add some heft to it, and that's really the only less-than-perfect feature about it. The keyless blade clamp system lets you change out a blade without even touching the used blade or reciprocating shaft. We like that the open-topped shoe will pivot, so your visibility is never impaired. The trigger is encased in the same hand-friendly compound that wraps the handle grip as well as the front boot grip, and it's total comfort in your hand. We always like a trigger lock for reduced hand fatigue, too, and this one's got it all. Another great feature is that the blade reverses when you're faced with flush or plunge cuts. For speed, power, quality and cordless convenience, we give this saw two thumbs up.

powerful and light
The saw is very powerful and will cut thorugh a lot.
Of course the battery drain is according to its power - it will drain fast if you load it a lot, but that's rather a good sign.
I bought it during a sale when they gave me a free extra battery. When using it intensively I would have 4 batteries, 2 charging a 2 with me.
It is rather light, not too noisy and the vibrations are ok.
Make sure you get the "type 2", not the "type 1"

For short bursts only.
I bought this to work on a remodel on a house for a friend. The 90 degree rotating head came in handy several times and I was glad to have the feature. I run all of my tools off DeWalt's 18v batteries and I was lucky that I had four of them when I went to the job site. This tool eats the batteries! I use to install garage doors and could install two full-size doors on one battery using my hammer drill, but this tool kills a battery in 10-30 minutes of use. With three batteries charging and one in the tool, I was able to keep a rotation and get jobs done with no waiting around, but it was close.
The head unit would get hot, not unreasonable and with gloves I didn't even notice.
If you plan to buy, just have extra batteries around or lose the portability and get a corded one. It works great, but don't expect miracles.

Saw
Its awesome, still works no problems. Its tough and the battery lasts a long time.
Its Dewalt, so you could drop it from a ladder and it will still work. Just make sure your over grass when you do drop it.

great tool
i have used one of these tools for about five years. i have had the same tool, but many batteries. i use it and lend it all the time. we often use it to cut pipelines that still have a lot of water in them, so this thing gets wet and muddy all of the time. so far i couldn't be happier with my dewalt cordless saw. i must have for a pipeliner.
