Either way, I'm not going to be doing a shitload of cutting so I guess I'll find out at the hardware store

The 9V battery in the LM-1 you sent me was dead. Please issue me a full refund for the kit promptly. Thank you.

I roll DeWalt. Nice straight cuts and long lasting blades.

The Makita we have cuts crooked, the blade walks bad.
