Weighing only 6.4 lbs, the lightweight DeWalt DW331K features a powerful 6.5 Amp motor that delivers the cutting power for the most demanding materials.

The DeWalt DW331K retails for $169.99 and comes with blades and a heavy-duty kit box. Lastly, the DeWalt DW331K features a 90-day money back guarantee, a one-year free service contract, and a 3 year limited warranty.
