What is the connection to skiing, you ask? Well trail maintenance of course! I decided I needed a battery powered saw for clearing bittersweet. I was thinking circular saw, but then I saw this deal (2 lith batteries, recip saw, rotary saw, drill, driver drill, multi tool, and light). I have tried out the recip saw on a half dozen good size branches - which cut rapidly. I was pleasantly surprised by the tool quality - they all seem quite strong - I expected flimsier at the price. Considering that the 4ah battery sells for almost $100 I thought this was a good deal.
