It happens and when it does you need a saw that will do it. That's all.

Honestly, I am not sure of the run time on something like that, if I have to rip over 10-12 pieces, I would get my cord out and set it up to cut on the floor. Now, if I have to climb up the ladder to cut something, you bet I will grab the battery wormdrive just so the cord wouldn't hung up.

I have a big 10" Skillsaw for large timbers. That's a great tool, if they has a battery operated one back then, I would have bought it without thinking twice about it.
I believe you but the weight factor will crossover at some point. Still, the 77 needs no charging and as long as I have been using them I would have gone through dozens of 100 dollar batteries. At what point is not having a cord affordable?
