BOSCH GCS18V-230N 18V Brushless Cordless 9-Inch Cutoff Saw for Concrete & Metal Cutting | Lightweight Ergonomic Design, 6-Position Cutting Guard, Water Shut-Off Valve, Easy Wheel Change (Bare Tool)

First, we haven't actually used this yet, but it's going to be a huge boost when we need to cut metal panels for various roofs on small projects around the farm (chickens mostly) as well as some pieces of granite that we can now cut ourselves to use as well. Glad there is both a stone & a metal blade included as well.The use of battery power vs gas made this an easy choice for us, though we'll have to see how long the batteries last. I'm sure for most of our projects the included units will be sufficient. The water connection is pretty easy, and the whole tool feels fairly comfortable to hold-handle.Bring on summer project time!

The Bosch GCS18V-230N212 18V Brushless Cordless 9-Inch Cutoff Saw is a solid option for those in need of a versatile, portable cutting tool. The inclusion of two 12 Ah CORE18V batteries ensures you have enough power for multiple tasks, while the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use for extended periods. The 9-inch cutting wheel offers impressive depth, and the 6-position cutting guard provides flexibility for various angles, which is great for tackling both concrete and metal cutting. The only downside is that, despite being lightweight for its class, it may still be a bit heavy for some users, especially when used for long durations. However, the performance and included accessories, like the abrasive and diamond wheels, make it a strong contender for anyone looking for a reliable cordless cutoff saw.

This saw is amazing. Holds a charge great. The supplied concrete blade light work of some concrete that needed to be cut to be removed. It is lightweight for that type of saw. Easy to use, and with it coming with 2 batteries, you could saw all day. The Bosch is so much easier to use than any other similar saw. The water supply line works like it should. Haven’t tried the metal blade yet, but can tell you this unit cuts concrete exceptionally well.

The media could not be loaded. Pros:Light - doesn't break your back to hold. Maneuverable. Starts the cuts easily. The water valve works well to shut the water off. No spraying. Water valve quick release is a good feature. Low amount of residual water spray. Good at cutting concrete joints, but not an entire full pad. Enclosed battery housing is a plus.Cons:Battery life is not too long - after cutting two joints (about 5 minutes) battery life went from 5 bars to 2. Good for home and smaller projects but not necessarily for major job sites. Safety mechanism not gassing while wheel is spinning is inconvenient
