   First off, this is very comfortable to use and feels good in your hands. The operation is smooth, as is the trigger. You can ease into your cut with this trigger. It doesnt surprise you and come on too fast. Its easy to control the speed for a smooth, quick cut. Changing the blade is quick, easy and secure. It will use most reciprocating blades that are out there. The shoe assembly is adjustable and can be done easily. The trigger can be locked in the off position preventing accidental operation. I like that theres a rafter hook included too. An LED lights up your workspace. This unit can be switched to an orbital action saw. In this mode it is faster, but doesnt make the smoothest cuts. Switching it off and back to the linear stroke cures that, however its great that you have the option. I really like the feel of this saw and it looks great too. It uses the popular 18v RIDGID batteries and you wont have a cord to constantly fight with, no drop cord, and no generator. Just grab it and go to work. This is one, if not the handiest saws to have around. Read the manual, its full of information and dont forget to register with RIDGID for their lifetime service agreement.
