Answer:	Hi, The drill motor uses a Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery P 102 # 130429046, The battery uses the P118 Charger.Because I had already brought a drill kit that came with 2 batteries and a charger, All I needed was to have a bare drill motor to have two working Ryobi P271s.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a battery
Answer:	I have a 6.0 AH 60v battery and it does fit. it's pretty big though. it is so tall that you can't use the handle to hold the saw with 2 hands. I dont know if the 9.0 AH or the 12.0 AH would fit or not since i do not have them but i would still recommend a smaller 20v battery since they weigh less and the tool is already sorta heavy.
Question:	does the trigger lock
Answer:	I would say it could and would it cuts thru unistrut and all-thread like butter, but if u don't have a fine too the blade like the (24TPI) (teeth per inch) then it might leave some burs on the wood but bone I know it will cut clean I've already used it for a deer antler to.make my dad a knife. As well like I said the bandsaw comes with a 14/18 tpi blade, might want to consider getting the finer tooth blade when u buy the saw, just a recommendation!
Question:	Does this cut stainless steel rods
Answer:	I recommend this tools is great
Question:	would this be useful for cutting wood? i'm looking to invest on either a stationary band saw or portable. i already have the dewalt 20v batteries
