Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for that special handyman or simply trying to capitalize on the season's best deals, now is an excellent time to save huge on power tools and accessories. This DeWalt power tool combo kit is the ultimate savings, while these Milwaukee batteries and this tire inflator are both super affordable options that anybody who works with their hands would love to receive. If they (or you) have been wanting a new miter saw, you mite be in luck because Amazon's most popular model just sunk in price, and it's now under $100.
Metabo HPT’s 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw is now on sale for the incredibly low price of $99 on Amazon—a holiday-friendly 38% off its normal $160 asking price. If the price alone isn’t enough to convince you to pick this saw, consider the 8,800 five-star ratings it has earned from satisfied shoppers who say it “goes through four-by-fours like a knife through butter" and "blows DeWalt out of the water.” If that's not enough, over 7,000 Amazon shoppers have picked one up in the last month, which has made it Amazon’s new No. 1 bestseller in the best power miter saw category.
This large 10-inch table compound miter saw can keep up with the best and biggest professional models on the market. While compact and extremely lightweight (weighing only 24.2 pounds), this puppy packs a powerful punch with its suped-up 15-amp motor that generates a no-load speed of up to 5,000 RPMs. It has a single bevel that allows for quick and extremely precise cuts, and its thumb-activated positive stops help with quick adjustments. Safety is also top of mind—this saw has an electric brake that abruptly halts the blade’s rotation within seconds, while the built-in blade guard protection and horizontal handle keep you safe while cutting. This saw is also very accurate, with a 0 to 52-degree miter angle range to the left and right for versatility, while the bevel range is 0 to 45 degrees to the left with adjustable stops for precise cutting.
“Perfect entry-level, homeowner/hobbyist/DIYer tool,” one buyer called it. “Came dead-accurate out of the box. Positive stops all work well, and everything was square 90 degrees (or whatever angle or bevel you desire) wherever I set it.” They added, "Despite being lightweight, it doesn't feel cheap. Plenty of well-machined metal where it counts, and most of the plastic feels rigid, thick, and of notable quality. I want to stress this: I'm replacing a Craftsman miter saw with this, and the difference in the quality of plastic jumped out at me. Not thin or flexible or creaky in the least.”
“Powerful and, as always, a reliable tool from Metabo,” another shopper noted. “Have never had any problems from these folks, and the price on Amazon is just right for this DIY guy. I would buy it again, but this saw will last me as long as I can dream of any new projects.”
At a price like this Metabo HPT’s 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw is selling units pretty fast. Though it has not sold out—yet—it’s better not to wait around and grab one today.
