A cordless portable band saw cuts pipe, conduit, strut, rebar and bar stock where there’s no outlet. Full-size saws with a 5 in cut weigh about 11 to 19 lb; compact saws with a 2.5 in cut weigh 6 to 11 lb and work one-handed overhead. Many listings are for the bare tool, so batteries and a charger cost extra, while kits include them and cost more. Check which battery system you already own: Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita and Bosch saws use their own packs, and several budget saws are built to run on a competitor’s batteries.
