 "Great saw no need to whine" 2010-04-07

By Dawils

I have been working in the trades for over 30 years and the 611 saw is one of the best cordless saws I have used. I don't review tools lightly and I don't give high marks unless they merit it. I found Handy Steves review to be truthful regardless if he actually owns the 610. I do have the 611 and speaking as someone who depend upon performance the 611 gives great performance and more. I got mine in a kit and was really surprised with how well it cut and how nice the cut was even with a 16 tooth blade. Would I buy a better blade yes but I can garentee I don't buy a saw for the blade comes with it,that would be foolish. I want a great saw I can always get the blade I want and will. With this saw I will need to buy many, because it is sure to outlive many blades. I have already ordered 2 other 611's for friends. The other differences, light, brake, or blower, DO NOT GOVERN the performance in cutting and opperation. They are convenience issues, some of which are unnecessary and dangerous. I have found that many bells and whistles are just one more thing to BREAK or one more thing to trust, then find fault if it stops or breaks down. ANY USE of ALL CUTTING TOOLS reguire careful and dilligent awareness when using and many safety features such as brakes make us rely on the feature when we really need to rely on our own brains and awareness, not features that break and fail, and then we pay and get hurt. All in all the 611 is worth every penny and a great tool to have in any box. Unless the 610 were to have more power or acuracy it isn't worth the extra 55-70 dollars. I think if Makita thought it that important they would not have made the 611. THAT would have been a real shame and THEN WE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO WHINE ABOUT.

 "Cut through wood like butter." 2010-01-31

By Fabian Lamaestra (San Jose, CA)

I have the Makita's BSS610 and I love it. I fast battery charger makes it so I always have power.



This unit spins up fast and cuts like the wind, just keep the batteries fresh or it will lose spin-power on you quick.



I found I could cut about 30-60 2x4s easily with a single 1.5 Amp battery. The 3.0 amp battery is nice, but the quick charger takes care of me with a pair of 1.5 amp batts.

 

 "Well Designed and Manufactured" 2010-01-21

By Phil (Essex, Vermont)

Has a die cast machined base plate that makes for smooth and accurate cuts. The trigger and safety thumb switch are very easy to use right or left handed compared to the DeWalts' I have been using. Well balanced with the Lithium battery. Another neat feature is the depth gauge on the blade guard that makes for easy setting of the blade depth. This saw more than met my expectations.

 

 "Saw Works Great!" 2010-01-11

By Todd M. Fredette

I bought this saw as a "house-warming" gift to myself. I was going to need it for some work around the new place, it the comes in handy all the time. It's plently powerful even for pressure treated lumber. I rate it as a great purchase especially if you already have a collection of Makita LXT tools....

 "Great addition to any home toolset" 2010-04-14

By Sylvette (North Bay Area, CA)

First a bit about my setup and other tools.



I originally bought a Makita Drill complete with 2 small batteries and a charger.

I then bought a circular saw and realized after purchase that it requires the larger batteries.

Unlike some reviewers I did not remove the tag from the smaller battery to make it fit. Instead I bought a pair of replacement batteries. As a result I can confirm the following for those who wonder:



- the smaller batteries do not fit in the tools requiring a larger (18v) battery.

- the larger 18v battery does fit in tools that use the smaller battery.

- the charger works for all the battery types.

- it takes as long to run a battery down as it does to charge one, so have 2 batteries of each type.



Now about this tool.

Simply put, it is awesome. I have used it to:



- cut small and large tree roots in the muddy ground

- cut the plastic pot away from a thorny plant that could not easily be removed from the pot.

- cut down small trees

- prune off branches to make them fit better in the disposal bin

- hack off half of a faucet i could not remove otherwise from the sink

- hack off the grocery store's anti-theft seal from a bottle of Tequila

(if you self-checkout make sure to remember to ask the attendant to remove it before leaving the store)

- trim rolls of turf that were too wide for the section of yard I placed them in

- tear down walls



I have used several blades some named brand and some generic. All have installed and worked fine.

The only issue I have encountered is with the lock on blade guard. It was not clear which button position "lock" was. Its simple enough to check manually tho.

Excellent tools... the lithium series is all I have. Will continue buying makita products. I am a weekend warrior.

 

 "Good, as it should be." 2010-03-25

By R. Adams (San Francisco)

I am not a contractor or pro-home craftsman and I have not used other recip. saws, but this is a powerful and useful tool. The design makes it is easy to handle for lighter/medium jobs and the quality of build seems to be good. Battery life was also good.

 

 "Nice saw" 2010-03-23

By C. Garris

I bought this saw to use as a pruning tool. I have several other Makita tool that use thre Lithiun-Ion batteries, so buying it with no battery plus charger was not a concern. I've use the saw several time since my puchase and have been very pleased the my purchase.

 

 "Handy tool" 2010-03-18

By William P. Fri (Denison, TX)

This battery operated "Sawsall" is great! The front guide is adjustable in length and the blades are quick connect by turning the boss attachment. The saw has an adjustable speed trigger as well. I have already used it to cut down some small trees and do some fiberglass cutting in some boats as well as cutting off some bolts. A fabulous tool that seems to be designed and built well. +A+

 "a 1000 uses" 2010-03-21

By Michael D. Case

i used the sonicrafter for several weeks before writing this review. i have a remodeling buisiness. it has been a tremendous time saver. the grout remover works like a dream. i have found the replacement blades to be much faster than the blades that come with it. the sonicrafter is a heavy duty well made tool. i have used it for three and four hours at a time. it gets warm but does not over heat. if the blades are not put in exactly right, they will work loose. i have no complaints with the sonicrafter it has saved way more than what i paid for it. well worth the money.

 

 "unacceptable customer service at US Factory Outlet" 2010-03-08

By Roger Warde (Red Bank NJ)

Firstly, let me say that I don't fault Amazon.com from making a profit. I don't know what arrangements are made between the retailers that list their wares here on amazon.com in regard to compensation but, I don't believe we the consumers should have to be penalized for using Amazon. I also don't appreciate getting a curt response to my question about why I paid more for this tool using amazon.com then if I had gone to the US Factory Outlet and ordered it there. I was told that because they had to pay Amazon.com, they added it to anyone that orders through Amazon. I realize that its only a matter of 2 or 3 dollars, but thats not the point.



In regard to my purchase of the Rockwell Sonicrafter with the 37 piece accessory kit; I have to say that it exceeds my expectations. Its a great tool and its a good value. I only wish that I didn't have to deal with people that seem to care so little for their customers.

 

 "Must have tool; but, has design flaw" 2010-02-28

By Fred Klintworth

I've had my tool for over a year now and have used it frequently for carpentry jobs. To me it's indispensable. But, in my opinion there is one significant design flaw: the method of attaching the blades. I'm getting ready now to order another one of the wood/metal cutting blades because the star-shaped hole where it is secured has wallowed out. That's because the blade keeps working loose, no matter how tight the retaining screw. Except for this, it's a great tool.

 

 "Works like a Champ!" 2010-02-25

By Gerald N. Jacobs

I went looking for this tool on Amazon after seeing a "How-To" video with Tom Silva of This Old House demonstrating how to install a lamniate floor. I was dreading the task of triming the door casings with hand tools. When I came across the Rockwell Soni-crafter I recognized it as looking like the tool that Tom had been using without mentioning its name. (Well, it might have been the Fein Multi-tasker, which is too expensive for my home projects usage.) Even for my immediate limited usage I consider it was well worth the price. It made the job of triming eight casings simple, accurate, easy and fast. I will undoubtedly have more use for it from time to time.

 

 "Good quality!" 2010-02-24

By Maynard Petras (VA, USA)

I haven't owned any other product like this so I can't compare but so far it exceeded my expectation!
