Even better, the Makita 5090DW.

I love the thing when I'm up on a ladder and don't want a cord in the
way. It's much smaller than a Saw Boss, which I also have (tool
junkie and hoping never to recover and will ignore all intervention
efforts). With two batteries and the typical 1/4" or 3/8" soffit
material it would make short work of it.

I also use it with a diamond blade for cutting tile for little trim
jobs and fussy cuts.

I'm taking it to the grave with me - planning on cutting my way out of
the coffin.
