Selling Miter Saws that have been recalled...
In March of 23, after much shopping around, I decided to order a Dewalt DWS780 from Acme Tools. The saw shipped promptly, and arrived within days. Due to not having a table to put it on, the saw sat in the box until the end of April. After a week of using the saw, I noticed that I was having a ton of issues with the saw kicking boards back. I checked all of the usual suspects and still had issues. On 5/6 I attempted to cut a piece of trim board which was immediately flung across the room. At this time, I also noticed that the cutline on the saw had stopped working and I made the decision to contact Dewalt for some assistance. When I gave the representative the manufacture date (2021) located on the motor of the saw, I was advised to unplug the saw immediately and not to use the saw again. It was then explained to me that in August of 22, Dewalt issued a recall and pulled all of these saws with these manufacture dates from the shelves due to a kickback issue and possible injury. Dewalt is standing behind their saw and is replacing it. However, I had to box it up and UPS it back to Dewalt. I contacted Acme the next business day. I was told that they were unaware of the recall- yet they are an authorized Dewalt dealer. I was offered $10.00 off a $75.00 purchase and lukewarm apology. I opened a claim with BBB, Acme's response was, you'll have to contact Dewalt. This is honestly the least professional company I have ever had the unfortunate luck to be dealing with. Run... Fast.... buy your tools anywhere but here!
