Eric said: "My fiance wants a Sawzall for her birthday. She really likes
the Makita cordless drill that I got her a few years ago.
Would they be hard to handle for a small woman? How long do the batteries
last on something with that large a motor?
Eric-
Two or three points--
1. All Sawzall type products (cored or cordless) are intense, violent tools.
They can be difficult to handle by anyone. That said, anyone can learn how
to use them successful.
2. The battery-powered version are handy but HEAVY, a few pounds more than
the corded. The charge will undoubtedly last longer than she will last using
it.
However, the batteries will die periodically, and are quite expensive. Check
out the price of the replacement batteries. It may SHOCK you. Unless you
really, really need the cordless utility, you may be better of with a cored
model.
3. Marry that woman before she gets away. She wants a Sawzall for her
birthday? That is the fantasy woman for many guys I know (myself included)!
