32 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $38.99, the GA97705 stands out as one of the most affordable battery-powered options in this group that still publishes meaningful specs. A 3000 SPM no-load speed and 300-watt motor on a 20V platform give buyers real performance data to evaluate, and the 6-inch high-speed steel blade capacity covers standard wood and light metal cuts. The 4.5-star rating from 32 reviews is a small but positive early signal.
Dimensions are listed as 3 inches long by 7 inches wide by 15 inches tall, an unusual orientation that may represent the folded or stored profile rather than in-use length. Buyers should verify the actual working length before expecting the tool to reach tight spaces. The weight is not published in this listing.
Demand of 100 units sold last month is solid for a lower-priced cordless saw without a major brand name. The 300-watt motor is modest but workable for light demo and renovation cuts, and the 20V battery platform is a common format across budget-tier cordless tools. Buyers stepping up from a budget corded saw to cordless will find the GA97705 an accessible entry point.
Pros
- 3000 SPM no-load speed published, allowing direct comparisons with competitors
- 300-watt motor on a 20V platform for cordless cutting without a cord
- 6-inch HSS blade capacity for wood and light metal work
- 4.5-star rating from early buyers is encouraging
- Priced at $38.99, among the most affordable cordless options with listed specs
Cons
- 32 reviews is a small sample for confident long-term reliability assessment
- 300-watt motor output is modest for heavy sustained demolition
- Dimension listing appears to show stored orientation, verify working length
