About a yer ago i bought a Dewalt Drill and impact combo and I've had pretty well nothing but trouble out of them the batteries dont last well and they constantly overheat. I mainly bought them because i got tired of stringing out air lines on the farm and at work. I build bucket and digger derrick trucks so i drill alot of steel and aluminum. So I've decided to go to a Milwaukee m18 fuel dill and impact I was just courious if it would be worth the money and if they were all they are all they're cracked up to be.

The Fuel line will be well worth it for me, I picked up the impact and driver kit, with an extra battery and Fuel 6 1/2" saw for $352.
Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

looking at getting the fuel grinder kit with two 4 ah batts soon and itll set me back just shy of $500 
Real world results on the 7-1/4" saw.....
I needed to cut a bevel on some step forms last week. Thought this would be a piece of cake for the new saw, I need to cut a bevel on 5 ten foot 2X8's.
The first board, no problem, nice clean cut, almost as clean as running it through the table saw...
Second board, almost through the cut, about 9' into it...saw stops, give it a few seconds to recover and manage to get through the board.
Swap in a fresh battery, same results. Had to break out the corded Milwaukee saw to finish up.
So, I'm looking at the new saw, and figure that it would probably do really well if i had not been trying to push it to cut 50' of bevel on 2X's.
The battery was hot as could be when it shut down.
I guess it is not designed for heavy use of this sort.
Anyone have similar results, I think If I had been making end cuts, with pauses for the battery to recover, it would do much better.

It certainly isn't the saw I would choose for consistent 2x ripping. Especially at an angle.
I'm not totally surprised at the performance, it is after-all a battery powered tool. I just thought it might do better than it did.
I would guess in a normal day of cross cutting form material it will do more than fine. I will say that all the cuts I have made with this saw have been very clean and on the line.
