Disadvantages
- Some parts are made of plastic – while this saw is durable in its own right, a few question marks are surrounding the durability of this tool. This is because of the areas that are made from plastic as that material is known to be weaker than metal. If pushed to the limit, there is a very high chance that the rubber might start to show signs of wear and tear.
- Batteries don’t come with the purchase – you always want your tool to come with everything you need so that you can begin to use it straight away. You can start using it as soon as you buy it however, the laser guide on this tool requires battery cells, and those need to be bought separately.
