Most helpful customer reviews17 of 17 people found the following review helpful.Don't balk at the low price!By A CustomerI owned one of these for 2 years, putting it through some rigors, before it was stolen. The clamp is the weakest part of the tool. The plastic hex-key clamp on the cord does work ..... so long as you use it.I just bought another to replace it. I know what this tool can do.....anything I want it too. I've read poor reviews on re-cip saws with orbiting heads. This has none. I usually put the blades in upside down so the cord stays out of the way.The blades that come with a new saw are worthless. Make sure you buy separate blades when purchased new.13 of 13 people found the following review helpful.Good power, vibration free.By Bob BeeI must start of by saying I have a reason to be partial to my 3000V. I got it brand new at at one of those wholesale clubs for $33. No kidding. It must have been some kind of pricing error, but that's the price I got it for. The trigger sticks for some reason when it's cold (it isn't a fluke - the other two purchased at the same time do the same thing), but aside from that, it is a good value and cuts qutie well. The cheesy high carbon (or whatever pot-metal they are) metal-cutting blades it came with both shattered, but if you use bi-metal blades, this saw does everything you need. Also, this saw is very easy to use for any length of time because of a good couterbalance to counteract vibration.14 of 15 people found the following review helpful.What's a Sawzall?By Tim LavrouhinIf you've ever used a "Sawzall" or similar product, you know that the biggest drawback of any of these guys is vibration. These puppys just want to jump all over the place. Makita is famous for making vibrationless tools, and this is no exception. As soon as you pull the trigger, you'll notice how quiet this saw is. The biggest problem is the allen screw chuck, which is typical of all makes. There is now a keyless chuck model. I reccomend it. Still, unless you are changing blades alot, it's not a big deal. For remodeling. this tool is a must. Why force and split a 2x4 out of a frame when you can simply cut the nails and slide it out undamaged. Need to install a roof jack in a 2x6 T&G roof? This saw will cut circles around any thing else (litteraly). I don't use this tool every day, but when I need it, nothing else will do.See all 6 customer reviews...
