There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Also use it Dremel style. I ordered a quarter inch sleeve so I can put my quarter inch router bits and Dremel bits into it.
I've been using it quite a bit for foam and steel work. Stone bits work really well with this. I use it for the heavy duty stuff but the intricate details still need a Dremel.
Battery life seems pretty good. Went all day on a 4 amp hour. Never ran the battery to empty. So I really don't know how long the battery is actually last.
Great value when on sale.

That being said! This lik’guy is useful as hell. When used properly. It delivers an accuracy that a jab saw does not. A tool does not make a competent tradesperson but it sure as heck helps having something that is well balanced and delivers consistent and durable performance!
The DEWALT line of tools is my go to for everything. Right down to colour selection. The black and yellow make it STAND OUT amongst the rest as you don’t need to look hard for your gear when you put it down on a busy job site. That’s it. Worth the investment folks!
