To many people around the world,” Swiss” is a mark of quality. This label has come to be associated with excellence, precision, high-quality, and luxury. Some of the things that come to mind include chocolates, banks, knives and, of course, watches.

If you know your watches, you’re aware that the Swiss make excellent timepieces. Their reputation for producing many of the world’s finest watches has made them a strong contender for the title of the best watchmakers in the world, though many fans of Japanese watches will argue otherwise. But however strong the competition from the east, the Swiss have consistently proven that their rich history, high-precision workmanship, and overall sophistication have cemented their place as the unsurpassed masters in watchmaking.

Here are the 18 best swiss watches for men.

Even if you’re not a Revolutionary War officer or an early 20th-century African safari-goer, canvas tents are great for camping. I’ll admit, I thought canvas tents were anachronistic before researching this article (if that wasn’t already clear). Turns out, the best canvas tents have their advantages. No, they’re not lightweight, but they do retain ambient temperature, filter sunlight, and endure the elements well. And yes, they are waterproof.

Say you’re camping with your family (or your regiment of 247 brave musketeers and a marching piccolo player). If you want to do an extended stay in one spot, quality canvas tents can feel a lot homier than synthetic ones. Natural fabrics with natural colors will always be more soothing than bright-colored synthetics. Some canvas tents even have sturdier structures or solid floors. Such features facilitate glamping to the max; you can hang a mood-setting lantern inside or even put down a rug! (I’ve done both.)

The best canvas tents give campers the most relaxing experience. If you’re reading this, I’d be willing to bet that’s at least part of your goal. After all, what’s better than enjoying the great outdoors from the cozy security of a sturdy dwelling made of natural fibers?

Without further poetic waxing (and before I convince myself to buy one, quit my job, and move to Walden Pond), here’s the full buyer’s guide.

The Best Canvas Tent

White Dusk Avalon Bell Canvas Tent

The White Duck Avalon bell canvas tent is built to last and deliver high-quality camping comfort. It gives campers options and confidence with a big selection of mesh-protected openings, stove jack, and galvanized steel backbone. All in all, the ten-person bell tent looks prepared for anything.

It looks like White Duck has put careful thought into the tent’s strength and breathability. The door, twelve windows, and four vent openings are all double layered with canvas and lightweight mesh. The structure is breathable and open but also highly reinforced. It uses galvanized poles and White Duck’s proprietary grounding system to absorb shock and withstand heavy weather. This large camping tent also comes with a sewn-in polyurethane groundsheet to keep your feet (or rug or furniture legs) dry.

The 5-foot stove jack is made with fire retardant material and silicone-coated so you can stay warm and cook safely. If you’re the serious glamper type, you’ll probably utilize Avalon’s electrical cable outlet.

White Duck coats the Avalon’s 100% cotton canvas with a water repellent material, so it should be good to go right out of the box. Thought standing 11.2 feet tall in the center, it weighs 98 pounds packed. All in all, the Avalon is a heavy-duty canvas tent for all seasons.

Purchase

Kodiak Swag Canvas Tent

Kodiak Canvas fills a cool niche with the Swag 1-Person Tent. Usually, single sleeper tents are designed toward ultra-lightweight utility, with little regard for fit and feel. But with the Swag four-season canvas tent, lone adventurers can enjoy the great outdoors with the soft, natural feel of a canvas enclosure.

Measuring 6-feet 8-inches long and nearly 3 feet wide and tall, this four-season tent is plenty big enough for most burly mountain men. The simplicity of setup is one of its calling cards. Kodiak Canvas builds it as a reimagining of a cowboy’s bedroll. The idea is to simply unroll it, plug the poles in and throw your bag inside. It even has a built-in 2-inch foam pad with a washable flannel cover.

The outer material is cotton canvas, waterproof treated with Kodiak Canvas’s trademarked Hydra-Shield, and silicone sealed. By compromising some of its natural appeals, Kodiak Canvas makes the Swag’s material highly waterproof yet breathable. The floor has a puncture-resistant vinyl insert for durability and dryness. Screened windows at both the head and foot facilitate airflow, and the canopy rolls back to give a wide view of any starry night sky. Its inclusion of a “handy doormat” is borderline endearing.

If there’s any drawback to the Swag 1-Person Tent, it’s the weight. You’re not gonna take this thing backpacking unless you’re really into suffering under heavy loads: it weighs over 20 pounds packed. But it’s still an ingenious system for anyone who likes camping solo and wants a more curated tent built from natural materials.

Purchase

White Duck Alpha Wall Canvas Tent

White Duck’s Alpha wall tent is the clear choice for a canvas family tent. Even the most reticent campers should feel at home in Alpha, partially because it’s got most of the characteristics of a house. The cavernous 16- x 24-foot model delivers 384 square feet of enclosed comfort. Nearly all of that space is completely usable — the peak height is 10 feet, and the side walls are 5 feet tall. A PV groundsheet keeps campers’ tootsies dry. A stove jack keeps it warm inside.

Considering all this, it’s a great idea to put a tent-like the Alpha on a constructed platform. With so much material to soak up moisture, the tent is susceptible to mold and mildew. White Duck makes it in graduating sizes, starting at 8 x 10 feet. That size sleeps six; the grandaddy 16 x 24 feet sleeps 18.

The Alpha is a true four-season canvas tent with a storm door and six triple-layered windows. White Duck states it considers a stove jack an integral part of any canvas tent. Naturally, it builds a jack suitable for 5-inch or 6-inch pipes into the Alpha. Galvanized aluminum poles finish out the build.

You can upgrade to either a waterproof or waterproof/fire repellant version of the Alpha. If you’re gonna get the big one, get ready to carry it. Spanning 16 x 24 feet, the Alpha is heavy — the waterproof tent weighs in at 441 pounds, and the fire-repellant version clocks 461 pounds.

Purchase

Teton Sports Mesa Canvas Tent

The Teton Sports Mesa is a cabin-style canvas tent built for chill campsite life with electronics enabled. Multiple “e-ports,” as Teton Sports calls them, let glampers glamp to the max and make this model one of the premier canvas tents for camping. The uniform height means no awkward bending over. And a polymer floor keeps the weather from seeping up from below.

The Mesa’s unique cabin build delivers enough interior space for up to 8 without an enormous footprint. At 10 x 14 feet, Teton Sports claims a comfortable fit for six and maximum accommodation of eight. The roof is a uniform 6.5 feet high, so every inch of the interior space is usable. Teton adds gear organizers to keep the essentials straight.

With one front door and one back door, the Mesa fits the bill of a shotgun shack. Elsewhere, built-in vents facilitate airflow. An awning out front increases chillability.

The Mesa looks like a good choice for front-country shenanigans, and electrical ports help drive home the effect. Ports in the corners help campers get their screen time on in the great outdoors. Teton Sports says the 100% cotton is waterproof but does not specify any coating or treatment. Users may need to weather the tent themselves to waterproof it (see our FAQ below for details).

Teton Sports Sierra Bell Canvas Tent

The Teton Sports Sierra is a scalable bell tent, available in sizes that sleep 10-16 people. I’ve been in yurts that would only just do that; for a portable bell-shaped structure, the Sierra is a beast. Bell tents do perform well in snowy conditions, but unfortunately, Teton overlooks adding a stove jack.

Thus, the Sierra is best used as a 3-season tent. Its built-in vents facilitate airflow, and the floor even zips away to convert the tent into an open-air canopy. Teton specifies the material as only “waterproof 100% cotton canvas.” As such, be aware you might have to weather the tent to waterproof it.

The 10-person Sierra is a 12-foot circle with an 8’ 4” roof peak. It has one door, 2 windows, gear pouches, and ports for electrical cords. The double-layer door has zippered mosquito netting for fair weather. As I mentioned, it’s missing a stove jack, which does limit its utility.

But, the 20-footer is legitimately as big as a yurt and can comfortably sleep 12 people (16 total capacity). At its peak, it’s over 11 feet tall. At that size, it’s a pretty lightweight option as canvas tents go at 114 pounds packed. The scalable Teton Sports Sierra should be a go-to for 3 season gatherings where big groups need open-air versatility.

Canvas Tent Buying Guide & FAQ

Features to Look for in Canvas Tents

Material

Most of the tents in this guide are made from treated canvas. Waterproof and fire-retardant treatments are common, and many canvas tents are coated with silicone. This drastically changes the natural properties of the canvas. Read on for an explanation of each canvas type.

Canvas is made from one of two distinct materials: cotton or polyester.

• Polyester canvas seems like a bit of a copout for the canvas crowd — it’s not a natural fiber by any means. But it’s lighter than cotton, and because it’s a petroleum product, it repels water even better than cotton canvas. As well, it’s more resistant to mold and mildew. If you want the most waterproof canvas tent you can get, choose polyester.
• Cotton canvas has advantages in terms of sustainability, breathability, and overall feel. The bottom line is that no petroleum-derived product is renewable or easily biodegradable.

Cotton canvas is both. As well, it usually breathes better because its fibers are naturally derived and woven looser. These are major advantages for glampers, who will also appreciate cotton canvas’s soft texture.

However, cotton canvas does require a labor of love: it’s heavy, and it’s susceptible to mold, mildew, and even shrinkage. Careful care is a must.

You may see the term “duck canvas” around. Don’t be fooled: it’s just an Americanization of the Dutch word for linen canvas, “doek.”

Size

Good news: no matter how big or small your group is, there’s probably a canvas tent that will accommodate it. Our featured tents sleep anywhere from one to 18 people.

You can find the right size canvas tent whether you’re housing your team of cartographers, astronomers, and prophets on your doomed voyage to find the edge of the world or just your doggo and partner for a weekend getaway.

Waterproofness

Ah, waterproofness. Right up there with keeping unwanted snakes and scorpions out, rain protection is a central consideration for any tent. If you have an untreated cotton canvas tent, you need to “weather” it to make it waterproof.

Why? Because the fibers need to swell together to create a waterproof seal. At first, the canvas weave usually isn’t tight enough to keep water out. But the fibers swell when wet and then hold their new shape.

Though generally, every canvas tent is waterproof, polyester repels water better than cotton. We will list waterproof capabilities in each individual product’s section.

Breathability

One massive advantage of a canvas tent over a synthetic one is breathability. Why do synthetic tent interiors always condensate and smell, in the parlance of our times, like bigfoot’s dick? Because nylon and polyester do not facilitate oxygen transfer.

But cotton does! Therefore, choose it for the highest quality, breathable canvas tents. No more condensation, no more schmelly schmegma smell; just high-air-quality glamping.

Bug Proof

Many canvas tents have mesh zippered openings to keep flying critters out. Some smaller canvas expedition tents have bathtub floors to keep ground-living insects safely (even happily?) outside your tent.

Sun & Snow Protection

When you’re camping in a winter wonderland, a canvas tent can deliver a pronounced advantage over a synthetic one. Because they hold heat well, you’ll be cozy as the powder falls. And because they’re breathable, many even accommodate a wood stove.

Canvas also doesn’t condensate nearly as easily as synthetic material, so you’ll be better off in that department.

Pay attention to the snowpack on top of your tent, and keep clearing it as it piles up! Large canvas tents with a lot of roof areas are especially susceptible to the snowpack. If you don’t know why, consider that water is heavy, and your roof is collapsible.

Canvas tents also offer UV protection that borders on bougie. Consider a brilliantly sunny day. If you’re sitting inside a synthetic tent, you’re slowly cooking in the sweltering soup of your own body heat. That’s because the material can’t block the sunlight or let the hot air out.

Conversely, canvas tents stay cool inside by blocking sunlight and, again, facilitating all-important air transfer. Heat rises, right? All good if you’re sitting somewhere cool and the heat has somewhere to go.

Maintenance

Canvas tent owners need to be particularly careful to store their tents dry. Every tent needs to be stored dry, but the cotton canvas is especially susceptible to mold and mildew.

As well, aficionados recommend natural materials like hemp for guy lines. Beyond those particularities, follow the usual steps. Guy it securely so that it doesn’t flap; don’t put too much stress on zippers or seams, and don’t fold it the same way every time for storage.

The Camping and Caravanning Club put together a helpful guide for tent maintenance. Here’s a link to the PDF.

Canvas Tent FAQ

What type of canvas tents are out there?

All kinds, but really only one: the kind that’s cooler than other tents. Canvas tents commonly come in-wall, bell, or flat-roofed shapes.

And they come in all sizes (our guide features tents built for groups from 1-18 campers).

Some belong in the backcountry; some are grumpy AF. Bottom line: up to you!

How to take care of canvas tents?

It’s very important to store a canvas tent dry; the material is much more susceptible to mold and mildew. The most particular canvas tent people recommend natural fibers like hemp for guy lines. But otherwise, it’s the same as any other tent — just more intensive.

We recommend starting with The Camping and Caravanning Club’s tent care guide. Here’s the PDF.

Why are canvas tents so expensive?

It’s true, cool canvas tents don’t come cheap. For me, experiential enjoyment has to justify the cost. How cool is it to live in a semi-permanent, waterproof outdoor structure made of natural materials and fibers? Instead of sweating inside a minimally breathable plastic capsule that filters sunlight awkwardly, luxuriate in a cool, breathable, shady enclosure that smells organic.

Hell, it’ll trap heat better when it gets cold, too, and if it has a stove jack, you can heat it with a tent stove.

Now from the practical side: if you care for them well, they also last. Canvas resists ripping better than synthetic tent materials. And it’s thicker, so the kind of furry critters that like peanut butter and M&M’s have a harder time chewing through it.

If it does rip, just get out the sewing kit and patch it (detailed info here).

Do canvas tents need to be waterproofed?

Most of the canvas tents in this guide are treated with a variety of waterproof coating. In these cases, just follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

However, if you have an untreated canvas tent, it’s different. Cotton canvas tents do need to be weathered to bring out their waterproof qualities.

What does that mean? The fibers are often too loosely woven to be truly waterproof at first. But when they get wet, they swell and push against each other. Then, as they dry, they hold their shape. When the tent is fully dry, it’s a waterproof tent. Cool, huh?

You can weather a canvas tent by setting it up in the yard, hosing it down, and letting it dry.

How long will a canvas tent last?

Great question. I’ve stayed in some old ones that I’d presume got their starts in the ‘80s or ‘90s.

One in particular — a big wall tent my buddy lived in while doing on-site restoration carpentry in the Adirondacks — still smelled good and kept the weather out. Equipped with a wood stove, armchair, and rug, it was a great place to drink.

Anyway! I digress. Internet consensus suggests about a 20- to 30-year lifespan for most canvas tents. However, a canvas tent can last forever if you take care of it. Many users report their decade-old canvas tents are still as good as new.

If you’re a gun owner, then you know that carrying your firearm with you can intimidate others or make some people uncomfortable. Most places are not particularly welcoming to the open carry of guns, so it might be best to get a case that will allow you to feel safe without making anyone else uncomfortable.

And if you have a collection of equipment, finding a comfortable and secure way to carry it all can be tricky. That’s where guitar gun cases come in. They’re comfortable, designed to carry large loads, and their shape will allow you to avoid questions or judgment by people that have a fear or dislike of firearms.

Here are the eight best guitar gun cases.

The Best Guitar Gun Case

Cedar Mill Firearms Discreet Concealment Guitar Rifle/Shotgun Gun Case

This company began in Montana in 2014. Despite having been in the market for just five years, their discreet and durable options have become very popular. Furthermore, the affordability of their designs makes them very attractive to people interested in carrying their guns safely and discreetly without spending an arm and a leg. Despite starting at a national level, the brand has become global throughout the years. They started offering their products online in 2017, and they have been a whirlwind success.

The Concealment Guitar Gun Case allows for secure and discreet transportation of your rifle or shotgun. Thanks to a double layer of foam materials, your gun will be protected and safely stored at all times. If the foam gets damaged, it’s completely detachable, and you can replace it with a new one. You’ll also find that the foam can be customized to fit your rifle or shotgun and any accessories you want to carry as well. The case is shock-resistant; it won’t open if you drop it or break upon impact.

Savior Equipment Tactical Discreet Rifle Carbine Shotgun Pistol Gun Carrier

Savior Equipment started under the premise that there was a problem with the gun case market. Its founder is a gun enthusiast, and he had first-hand experience dealing with gun covers. According to him, many of the cases had high prices with regular, if not poor, quality. Therefore, he decided to start a company that offered options with prices that matched the quality of what he provides. Furthermore, Savior Equipment has the goal of establishing excellent customer service.

One of the cases offered by Savior Equipment is the Tactical Discreet Rifle Gun Carrier. Inside, you can carry anything from a 9 or 10mm pistol and handgun to a shotgun without anyone being the wiser. The foam inside the case protects your gun and accessories, with a lockable device to ensure that everything stays safe and where it’s supposed to be. The design features wheels that will help you move your equipment around efficiently. Lastly, one of our favorite things about Savior Equipment is that they offer a lifetime warranty for all of their products. So, investing in a gun case with this company comes with a piece of mind.

Sport Line Covert Soft Guitar Rifle Case

Covert Cases is a smaller company where you can get a unique case for your firearm. What makes them so special is that the company crafts them by hand to guarantee the quality of their products. For this reason, some parts of the products they manufacture sometimes have imperfections in things like the foaming lining. However, they offer a warranty, meaning that they will be able to provide you with solutions if there’s any major problem with the product you’ve acquired.

They offer numerous options for guitar gun cases. One of them is the Soft Guitar Rifle Case. This model provides enough space for one rifle or one shotgun to fit comfortably. The foam acts as a protective device against any bumps the case might experience. Despite this, the case is lightweight, which makes it perfect if you’re going to carry it around for an extended period. Thanks to its double strapping, you can wear it as a backpack for greater comfort.

There are two foam options. One of them offers you the possibility of cutting it and customizing it yourself, which will provide you with a case much more adaptable to your needs.

Hazard 4 Battle Axe Guitar-Shaped Padded Rifle Case

Hazard 4 is a brand that stems from a parent company called Civilian Lab. This brand is born out of the necessity to provide high-quality equipment for professionals who use firearms as part of their daily work. Therefore, the products are some of the best in the market. These products have been tried and tested all over the world with excellent results. One of the goals of Hazard 4 is always to innovate and incorporate the latest technology into their designs.

The Battle Axe Guitar-Shaped Padded Rifle Case has a unique characteristic. Unlike the majority of guitar gun cases in the market, this one has padding on the outer side of the case. This feature makes the case much softer while it continues to protect your equipment. Furthermore, the internal part is compartmentalized to adapt to your needs. If you’re carrying a rifle and accessories for it, you won’t have any trouble making sure every piece is easy to locate. Its double nylon material makes it a very durable option, so with the proper treatment, this case should last you for years.

Covert Dreadnought Guitar Double Rifle Case

The Covert Dreadnought is one of the unique cases on the market. This case is a double case; you can carry two rifles and even two pistols. This ability makes it perfect for when you’re heading to a gun convention or exhibition, and you want to bring as much of your equipment as possible. The internal foam is fully customizable, and there’s no need for cutting. The idea is for you to be able to protect your equipment as much as possible.

This case is also one of the largest cases we’ve seen, and it’s the largest one offered by Covert Cases. Thanks to the two separate layers that line the case, you’ll be able to separate your rifles without any inconvenience. The one drawback is that it has no wheels, so you have to carry it at all times.

L&Q Army Guitar Gig Bag Gun Case

L&Q Army and its sister company, ArmyCamo USA, offer numerous pieces of equipment for both law enforcement and the military. The company currently holds its operations in Texas and Asia, and they manufacture and distribute their products worldwide. They also offer them for people with active lifestyles that include outdoor activities, such as hunting, or shooting range hobbyists. This diversity has led them to develop high-quality products that can withstand rough treatment and harsh weather.

The Guitar Gig Bag Gun Case is a durable way to carry your shotgun or rifle. It’s made entirely of polyester and nylon, and it comes in three different colors, including camouflage. You also have the option of customizing it to have the color you prefer. They also offer the option to personalize your case further by adding a logo or label.

The capacity is for just one air rifle, and it has extra features to secure your firearm and accessories. These features include a webbing system that will make your items easier to organize. It has double strapping that allows you to carry it as a backpack, and the straps have extra padding to provide a more comfortable carry. A favorite feature for us is the external pockets that allow you to carry any additional accessories and items you need. A significant drawback, though, is that shipping times can be quite long for this company.

Covert Hard Guitar Rifle Case

Although almost last on the ranking, this is one of the most durable guitar-shaped cases out there. Covert Cases incorporates waterproof technology in the hard shell of this model. This way, not even the rain can wreak havoc among your guns. Furthermore, the vinyl is extremely durable, protecting your case if you happen to drop it or bang it against something.

Another plus for this model is the security lock. This lock will keep your guns safe, as well as guarantee the safety of those around you. The foam can adapt to the items you place inside your case. One drawback of this case is that it is not as large as other models. Therefore, not every type of rifle will fit in this case. Additionally, you might have to leave some of your accessories at home. This model also comes with a heftier price tag than other models on the market.

Desperado Gun Case

This company is located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and owned by veterans. They manufacture only one product, and that is the Desperado Gun Case. Inspired by the movie of the same name, this is the most stylish option to carry your rifle, shotgun, pistols, and any accessories you might want to put in there. However, it’s also one of the most expensive options. The reason is that they take a standard guitar case and a guitar and modify them to create a case in Desperado’s best style.

One of the upsides of this model is how spacious it is. This extra space will allow you to carry all of your equipment wherever you want. However, due to the hard case and guitar front, it can be heavier than other brands. Another drawback is that, since the models are handmade, they might take a long time to ship. However, if you want to go to the shooting range, gun convention, or even hunting while showing how stylish you are, then this is the case for you.

Check out the ten best metal cutting circular saws below.

The Best Metal Cutting Circular Saw

DeWALT DCS373P2 20V MAX

Cordless circular saws get a bad rap for their perceived lack of power compared to their corded cousins. DeWalt decided to buck that trend with their DeWalt DCS373P2 20V MAX. This machine runs on a lithium-ion battery, and it delivers excellent performance thanks to its 3,700-RPM motor.

The 20V MAX’s construction is sturdy thanks to its hardened casing and stainless steel shoe that surrounds the blade. Despite weighing only 8.3 pounds, it’s capable of cutting smoothly through thick metal plates. Dewalt has also outfitted the saw with an ergonomic handle, which, according to the Amazon reviews, allows the operator to cut effortlessly for hours.

Purchase

SKILSAW SPT77WML-01

Sure, corded circular saws pack more power, but raw power alone won’t get you to the top of this list. Versatility, precision, ease of use, and superior construction are some of the prerequisites for perfection. Weighing at 11.5 pounds, the SKILSAW SPT77WML-01 might be on the heavier side for some, but the weight does allow for smoother cuts.

The saw features a best-in-class dual-field motor, which runs exceptionally cool. The blade has locking angles from 0 to 45 degrees, allowing the operator to ensure precise cuts every time. SKIL’s Cut-Ready system ensures that the depth the user desires stays constant throughout the cut.

Makita SP6000J

The Makita SP6000j is the only plunge blade system on the list. If you prefer this system to the standard circular saw, Makita is an excellent option. The 12 AMP motor has an electronic speed control system, which delivers speeds from 2,000 to 5,200 RPM. A built-in current limiter is also beneficial in ensuring the motor doesn’t overheat.

The Makita makes quick work of metal but can be utilized for other surfaces as well. With a quick swap of a blade, you can use this to cut all varieties of wood to exact specifications. Add their 55-inch saw guide, and you’re ready to make a table, build filing cabinets, trim corrugated metal, and make quick work of many other materials.

Makita XSC02Z

The Makita XSC02Z is another lithium-ion powered saw with a brushless motor nearing the top of the list. Capable of pushing 3,900 RPM, the motor offers variable cutting speed to ensure that working through even the toughest surfaces is possible. Makita’s built-in technology modulates the RPMs as you cut to provide the ideal speed for the cutting surface.

At just 13-1/8 inches long and weighing in at 6.4 pounds (with battery), this is one of the most compact saws on the list. Many Amazon reviews pointed out that the battery has a great run time as well. So for those on the move who want something portable and reliable, the Makita XSC02Z is an excellent option.

This purpose-built metal cutting circular saw isn’t the least expensive on the list, but it packs enough power (4 AMP) and RPMs (4250) to cut even the toughest metal.

Weighing in at just 6.4 pounds, this is one of the lightest circular saws in its class. The saw comes with an integrated LED light, which makes spotting your cutting line that much easier while working in places of low visibility.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2782-20

Lithium-ion powered saws seem to be making a significant showing on this list. It seems clear from their specs that they can run with their corded challengers in almost every situation. The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2782-20 is no different.

At just 5.9 pounds, the 3,900 RPM free-speed motor produces enough power to chug through the thickest metal. The brushless motor has no wearable components, which means that it can spin, cut, and create for years to come without maintenance.

Milwaukee’s Redlink Plus system connects your motor and battery through a wireless intelligence system that prioritizes longevity and performance.

The 60-volt battery and DeWALT’s FLEXVOLT blade can cut through some of the thickest metal and angles up to 57 degrees. The FLEXVOLT weighs in at 11 pounds, which is on the heavier side of the spectrum, but the motor pushes out a whopping 5,8000 RMP for super sleek cuts.
