Makita BSS610
$400.00
Released August, 2006
The Pros:LED does a good job of effectively illuminating the cutting path. More comfortable to use and better ergonomics than older Makita saws. Included blade is better quality than many entry-level blades included with other saws.
The Cons:Plastic shoe levers feel cheap and have some undesired give. Not compatible with some other Makita batteries, even Li-ion for other tools.
