I'll chime in on the cordless bandsaw revolution - they're the best! We have been using DeWalt 20v products and they make both a large deep-cut version and a smaller version. The large bandsaw is great for the roof and the small one is great for electrical work such as cutting conduit (like butter). Each of our crews has one of each.
