This is a great tool that I just got! I am no DeWalt rep., but they should did a great job building this tool. It makes hard jobs easy. This by far is one of mine favorite tools. It is nice and light and easy to handle. The thing that sold me on it was the work light that is built-in!!! Unlike other bands, this tool is more angled upright for better cutting. It costed me about $299. This tool has helped me out with my new and up coming rear bumper w/ tire carrier. Here is some pictures:

You can also turn it on its back for cutting diff. stuff

I have a Milwaukee that has served me very well. It doesn't cut as nice as the chop saw, but for those pieces you cant get in the chop saw, they sure are handy.

Just used the new neighbors Milwaukee and WW what a tool. It's also great to use when the Chop saw WON'T go through the material. I damn near went out and bought a horizontal bandsaw last night. Good thing that everyone was closed or I woulda been cuttin my xmember pieces with a new toy rather than borrowing a neighbors.
