A cordless battery powered band saw is a tool I never would have thought would be capable of having enough power to get the job done. Well I was wrong. This tool is light weight, very durable and more then capable of handling what it's corded cousin can. There are multiple uses for a cordless battery powered band saw. I am in the Chicago local 281 sprinkler fitters union. We use this tool for many different types of projects. We cut our all threaded rod with this tool, and it cuts through it like butter. It is also nice to cut existing pipe out and not have to drag an extension cord around. I've seen electricians cut conduit with ease and plumbers cut their plastic and cooper pipe with this tool. Around the house this tool is great for remodel projects. You can cut wood or metal with no problem, although for plywood I would use a cordless battery powered circular saw. Being light weight and easy to handle, safety is not an issue. You should set up a vice and make your cuts on that. I usually just hold on to whatever it is I am cutting and use band saw that way. I do not recommend this. I have been in the trades for over 20 years and have experience with this tool. I just wanted to let you know how easy it is to handle. There are many different makes and models of cordless battery powered band saws. You can purchase ones that come with a 18v battery or ones that come with a 24v battery. The blades are very easy to change and upkeep is a breeze. On a scale from 1 to 10 I would say that having a cordless battery powered band saw in your shop is about 7. Look online and in tool forums to get information on the type your looking for.
