Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker CHS6000 6-Volt Handisaw Cordless Powered Hand Saw
Customer Review: 6 2x4s to warm up the NiMH battery
Summary: 4 Stars
With the short throw & small size I bought this to get nails that are in spaces too tight to reach with a sawsall.
With the battery recommendation to NOT keep it on the charger (you'll ruin it!), and that it will achieve full battery power after several uses, it sounds like this is a NiMH battery, not the usual NiCad or Lit folks are used to for a power tool. NiMH needs "special care" which ARE in the instrucions (yes! they are!) to get it started working well & long term. But they are weird if you aren't used to them.
I charged 9 hrs before using. Then cut 2x4s to see how strong the cutting power is (no problem when held solid to wood) & when the battery would get noticeably weaker. After six 2x4s, with a bit of rest to cool down after each pair, I noticed a very slight decrease in power. It may have just been me getting tired. That's already more & thicker wood than I expected out of this small unit anyway, especially on the first, warm up, charge.
I let it cool & plugged it into the charger again. I'll expect that it will only get stronger over the next uses. But I'm too lazy to fully fully run it down test anymore, and don't have a lot of jobs for it, just a few hard to reach nails I want to get rid of.
The other thing about NiMH is that it self-discharges so it will need to be used a bit & charged perhaps every couple of months to keep the battery fresh, could be a hassle. So it's not a Grab-'n-Go type of tool battery set up. Too bad B&D didn't use an Eneloop battery pack. If I can I'll run it down & charge the day before I really need a lot of cutting, that's the best system I can think of. If I run into a problem I'll let you know.
One day Update: Cut nails easily in tight spaces. The protective box is rather big making access/angle of some cuts more difficult, but still do-able. The battery is very strong as expected.

Description of Black & Decker CHS6000 6-Volt Handisaw Cordless Powered Hand Saw
It couldn't be any easier than this: a cordless hand saw that cuts wood, metal, drywall, plastic, rope and more. We like it for its grab-it-and-go convenience and because it doesn't balk at wood that's up to an inch thick. It's perfect for taming overgrown bushes and stray branches, but it also makes quick work of PVC pipes, vinyl gutters, wire shelving, wallboard, craft projects and a hundred other things. It's small and light enough for even the most petite among us to grasp it firmly with just one hand, leaving your other free.Of course, we like bells and whistles, but sometimes, a straightforward tool like this one is the easiest to use. Just keep it in its wall-mountable charger, then grab it when you need it. Even changing blades is a fast and easy task because it's tool-free.
It's powered by a 6-volt battery and delivers a surprising 1,850 strokes per minute with a 1/2-inch stroke length, and best of all, it doesn't require fancy blades, just standard jigsaw blades. Homeowners and do-it-yourselfers will really like this little saw.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
