In daily use

On the jobsite, the GKS 18V-57-2 Professional shines when cutting rafters, formwork, or flooring. The steel base plate glides smoothly over the workpiece, while the spindle lock allows quick blade changes. The saw’s balance and low weight (2.9 kg without battery) reduce strain during overhead cuts, and the parallel guide ensures repeatable straight cuts. With a no-load speed of 5,000 rpm, it powers through softwood, hardwood, and sheet goods with ease.
