Summary
4.5 stars, 2,900 reviews. Built like a truck. The enclosed motor housing protects the internals from rain, dust, and drops. Owners who've used it for 5+ years say the motor holds up better than competitors in wet conditions. 4,400 RPM is the slowest here, but the torque pushes through anything. The heaviest at 14.5 lbs (tied with SKILSAW).
