Do you have another house for all your saws?
It's getting close! I debated awhile on buying this one. I have a use for an electric saw, but not a *need*. What pushed me to buy was it came with a free battery, so I figured I'd get it while I could. My only other electric tool is a Dewalt impact driver I found in the road, so I'd have to get a Milwaukee battery some way.
My biggest interest is in having it near the chipper for quick trims. Otherwise, I have to figure out what it's place is in the lineup. It'll occasionally be useful having a saw that isn't deafening. Maybe it'll be a house saw, and I'll move my ms170 to the truck. Or maybe it'll be a bigger saw to keep in the truck, and I'll get rid of Ol' Smokey that I found in the trash. Not sure, but I think it'll be good having an electric saw available. Someone from another forum is gonna send me a charger, so I won't have to worry about that.
