I hope this video helps people to understand how much nicer this bandsaw is versus other cutting types of tools. Below is a list of tools that I have. Please understand that I am not trying to brag, just want you to know what I am comparing it's use fullness too. For me this is at the top right now, until another tool unseats it.

I have a ton of Milwaukee tools, and mostly the m12 line. I currently have in the m12, two impactors, driver, sawzall, spiral saw, multi-tool, right angle drill, led flashlight, incandescent flashlight, 3 xc batteries, 5 regular batteries. In the m18 line, drill/hammer drill, sawzall, circular saw, 3 batteries, and I have numerous corded Milwaukee tools.

This is hands down the best one that I have bought so far. Where I live, everything is done in conduit, even residential. I have been using tubing cutters to cut 1/2" and 3/4" EMT the past 20 plus years. This little guy cuts it like it is butter. Saves a lot of wear and tear on this body, with tubers, you have to hold the pipe tightly with one hand while scoring it, then you have to break it either over your knee or something else, ream it then put it together. With this bandsaw, you literally cut the pipe in about 5 seconds. It also shined when cutting the legs on can lights, and bar hangers, 3/8 and 1/2 inch flex (no more tin snips for me!). Fairly light, led light perfectly placed, lasts a long time with the xc battery, usually a whole day, and a 5 year warranty on the tool, what's not to love about this tool?

If you are on the fence whether to buy this or not, think of how much time you would save, say like unistrut versus sawzall, half the time of cutting. For me, the big factor was the wear and tear on this body, sooooo much easier!

I got this saw to add to an M12 tool kit that I'm building over time. It proved to be a great addition. It's small and lightweight for easy carrying, Plenty powerful enough for cutting steel bolts, threaded rod, Unistrut or other jobsite metal. I've used it to trim parts off of wall mounts for flat screen TV's that blocked the jack pack on the rear. Best part is that you can use it inside the house, over a trash can, without making a mess, and without the fire hazard of a chop saw. Homeowners, if you dread the hacksaw, you need this tool. It makes cutting steel as easy as cutting wood. You can use it to trim wire shelving, support brackets, plant hangers or a myriad of other little metal pieces. It's one of those tools that once you have it, You wonder how you ever lived without it.

This thing paid for itself the first day!cuts 1 5/8" unistrut with no problem can cut about 30+ peices with one charged battery and works very well on copper pipe and conduit. I've Been using every day for about a year with no problems . Ideal for lazy people like me who don't want to drag around a 100 foot extension cord .

I am an electrician and I use this band saw every day at work. It makes it so easy to cut pretty much anything plus it's quiet. I love it and all my co-workers always want to borrow it :)

Stop thinking and buy it. I have shoulder issues that make using a hacksaw very painful so I had been using the Milwaukee hackzall on the job for cutting conduit. That is also a great tool, but ends up shaking the piece you are cutting too much if you don't have a vice handy. No such problems with this. One handed operation, long battery life, and smooth even cuts every time. Best of all, no shoulder pain. I may buy a second one just to keep as backup should anything happen to this one.

Pretty sure it was an open box item but for $125 i could not be happier. exellent for cutting allthread as i use it for mostly. I'm a plumber fo i dont cut a lot of emt but it will cut through black gas pipe with no problems. very happy with the tool.

Totally awesome tool. Great control on cutting and barely any metal shavings. Best saw to cut metal with. Used it on superstrut even!! Way easier to use amd control than dewalts oversized unnecessarly big bulky bandsaw

I'm constantly using mine as a maintenance mechanic. Cuts rebar like butter, great tool for cutting conduit and other things like support rods especially when you're in a confined space like a drop-ceiling. Do pay attention to your cuts though because the light has a tendency to throw off a straight cut. Do yourself a favor and just buy this as a kit with the carrying case, battery, and charger. You wouldn't believe how much of a nightmare it is just to find the carrying case itself, let alone for under $50.

This saw is one of the coolest tools I have.I have used plenty of regular bandsaws and thought a 12 v wouldnt have enough power.I have over a hundred pieces of sealtight to shorten for a remodel in a very tight hot remote location and sawzalls,hacksaws,corded bandsaws wouldnt be practical.This mini bandsaw is perfect and its inexpensive.

A very handy and well made saw, though not a professional, I find many uses for this saw. Light weight and can be used with one hand for a long period of time without wearing your arm out.
