As usual, service was exemplary. Due to it being so close to xmas,i never expected my saw the next day, but as good as their word, powertool world got it through. I've not had a chance to use saw yet, but after all my purchases from your selves, have no doubt, that my latest MAKITA will be everything and some more than my expectations. Thanks again powertool world ,for your very prompt service. Makita RULES

I opted for this device over the larger, 150mm unit due to the light weight, led light and the blower. All of these positively impact on the performance, but one disadvantage, for me at least, is that the blade is on the right. This means that, being right handed, I can’t see the blade during use, and have to rely on the zero mark for my guidance. My old saw had two marks, so it was easy to gauge progress of the blade, but it’s not so easy with this device. That said, the Makita is built superbly, with little kickback and the electronic brake stops the blade almost immediately. I am sure that I will soon become familiar with the cut, but for the moment, I wish I’d paid more heed to the reviews, spent an extra fiver and bought a unit with the blade on the left.

An excellent and powerful cordless tool. Perfect for cutting flooring and other jobs that don't need a deeper cut.Has a dust extraction attachment but this doesn't appear to fit straight onto a vacuum cleaner without an additional attachment.Otherwise it is a great saw for plunge cutting.

Lovely saw. Big enough to cut worktops. Small enough to fit in my tool bag.
