This is my favorite saw. It cuts beautifully, even in the hardest, thickest materials. Its pre-filter is great -- it has tool-less access and is the only dry filter in the group, making it easy to clean on site. For out-of-position work, the saw has great balance and cuts smoothly. It has an excellent blade guard. I even like the gas cap. | Price

The tool's universal arbor collar is an ingenious, great feature. This unit has good balance and power in all but the toughest materials. I wish the pre-filter was dry and that access to it was tool-less. The guard took a little more effort to adjust than the other saws, and I found the controls a bit small. I like the roller on the saw bottom; while it's supposed to make cutting on a flat surface easier, I ended up liking it more for loading the tool into my truck. | Price

This unit made quick work of brick, block, and short cuts in concrete slabs. It also has a nice, easily adjustable blade guard with positive detents. It has decent balance and decent power. I wish the pre-filter was dry. I also wish the pre-filter and spark plug access were tool-less and the gas cap was bigger. | Price

Great balance, power, and features make this an excellent saw. Its balance makes it great for out-of-position cuts. The automatic belt tension is best-in-class. The blade guard operation is superlative. It has tool-less access to its pre-filter, but the pre-filter isn't dry. It has the smallest motor in the group at 64.1 cc. If I cut less solid concrete and more masonry, this would be the perfect saw. | Price
