Portability is great, but if you're actually using it as a cutting tool, the battery will quickly drain or go into safe mode and stop. Lightweight construction is probably where it shines. I'm also a POPOMAN fan, I've had 1/2" influence for a few months and have been struggling all over, putting tires in and out and believe it or not there are 2 more of these. 3 tiers of battery charge , since the initial charge has never been charged. Unbelievable, I know. This tool requires a removable battery, so you don't have to pause for 2-3 hours. Come on, POPOMAN, you should know that.
