Look what fell off the shelf today at Lowe’s and landed in my cart.
On sale at 159.00 and a rebate for a free 169.00 AC battery adapter.
Wednesday the mail man will be dropping off another Metabo power tool. Wonder what it will be.[External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

That is a beast. Great saw. Curious to see what you think of it after some time with it.
I am already digging the silent mode, kinda like the wife when she gets mad at me.Eric – TIA wrote:

Silent at first till she loads up then the noise ramps up as her RPM climbs to 4000.
I know the RPM seems not a fire beast when compared to the Dewalt 20 Volt XR 5000 rpm but it might make up for it with power. I am wondering how it will work out.

Yes, that saw has some serious power.

You are correct, nice power output. Supper smooth running.
I did stall the saw out a couple times but I was doing an 8 foot full depth cut and pushing it hard up a pressure treated 4×4. But if you do not push it, it will zip a full length cut with ease. The blade that came with the saw is a carbide tip and still makes smooth cuts even after ripping through the center of 8p nails length wise.
Battery consumption is very good with the 4ah battery. I built a work table for my wife with one battery, plus using the battery in my hammer drill to put adjustable legs in the 4×4’s.
All screws where driven with my 18 volt 2.5 ah impact. [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]
