I wonder if they let them go so cheap to clear out the Hitachi branded tools to replace them with Metabo tools (same tools, new name). We bought a bunch of Hitachi nail guns for my store for a discount, and the ones that replaced them are labeled as Metabo. Anyhow, I've never used one of their saws. I did buy a rear handled worm drive style Milwaukee 18V saw recently that absolutely spanks my cord Skil worm drive. It'd better for the price.
