I just was too curious about this saw. I have the non fuel M18 one for about a year, so I wasn't going to pick this one up. When I was at a local Home Depot, they had one in stock. With my 10% retired military discount it was 181 + tax. Other than a brain fart putting a blade on a left blade saw, I am impressed. I had most of my m18 batteries still packed from a work weekend. So I had a XC 3ah with 1 bar on it to try it out. I got tired of dropping things in the openings on my small moving carts and had a old bookshelf shelf of poplar so made 3 small pieces for the carts about a total of 20 cuts, with ripping and trimming to size. I still had one bar when finished. It never bogged down, it blows the sawdust away from the cut line and has a light to see in low light. other features is a rafter hook for hanging. The only feature I liked better on the non fuel model is the blade wrench hex key storage. The old model has it stored securely in the handle, this one clips to the side, time will tell if it stays put. The do have a 7.25 model that has the blade on the right, I see no reason to believe it would have any trouble. Dan
