What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details conflict on the charger, describing a 45W USB-C PD charger in the title and package list but a 20W charger in one feature bullet. The description claims a five-year warranty, while the specifications say one year. The package list includes a fence assembly that the shorter kit description does not mention. Confirm these details for the selected listing.

Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, with many five-star ratings, but a meaningful share are one- or two-star. With only a small rating sample and no supplied review comments, the figures do not explain why customers rated the saw as they did. They offer limited guidance on real-world cutting results, battery life or kit completeness, so weigh the listed specifications and confirm the charger and warranty discrepancies.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in the listed kit?
The manufacturer contents list names the saw, 4.0Ah USB-C battery, 45W USB-C PD charger, USB-C cable, hex wrench, blade, vacuum adapter and fence assembly. One feature bullet instead calls the charger 20W, so confirm the selected listing.
How deep can this saw cut?
The product description claims a maximum 2-5/8-inch depth of cut and a 0–56-degree bevel capacity. These are listing claims, not independently measured results.
Does the kit include a track guide?
The listing says the shoe is compatible with SKIL track CRT0702, which is sold separately. The listed fence assembly is a separate kit component and should not be confused with that track guide.
How long is the warranty?
The specifications state a one-year limited warranty, while the product description claims five years. Confirm the applicable warranty for model CR5440B-1C.
