I'm just a beginner in woodworking but it seems the tech is running away from me. These tools look like a good deal for the specifications.

If anyone knows - do these come with batteries or just a power adaptor? Still trying to figure out...

Armstrong power packs would be the best solution.

But it they don't have Bluetooth/Wifi, forget it. I want them to sync with my car and refrigerator.

The battery pack is your garden!! :D

I admit, I fell for it, I looked close at your pic "did they really make a battery coping saw?"
The tech outruns me too. I hoard old tools. Not a fan of the tech.

:D

Looking closer at the details for each product on the Amazon website, I'd go with the Stanley saw. It's the only one that runs on zero volts and pulls no amps.

The Irwin saw doesn't require batteries but somehow pulls 15 amps at 15 volts.

The 6-inch coping saw wants 20 AAA batteries for the 20 volts and pulls 3.4 amps.

The Kata saw requires "unknown batteries" for the 0.6 volts and pulls 3.4 amps.

The Kerye saw is a real beast; it requires no batteries and wants only 28 microvolts but pulls 16 amps.
