Well, not good news.

Store Manager said it wasn't his call, the call came from Corporate and this could have been an issue with the wrong day posted on the website. The date on my screenshot above says "ends Aug 21" (tomorrow), so maybe we will see this come up tomorrow.

Regardless, he told me contact Lowes Corporate so with the help of @wire I have the contact info for them and will go down this road after I check the site tomorrow.
If there had been a pricing mistake, that should have been stated as the cancellation reason. Claiming they were out of stock makes them look much worse, in my opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

The CM in the last pic looks very suspiciously like the old-version of the cordless (that was Dewalt 18V originally, before being badged Porter Cable and then CM) before the brushless stuff was released. Very long/bulky/heavy and only developed ~300ftlbs. Not saying this is the same specs, but I would read the box carefully on that one.

Does anyone have this saw?…….. Reviews?
I have this in my cart and would like to see a GJ review before I push the button……. I don’t have any Craftsman V20 tools.
I wouldn't worry about it. You can always return it. None left at my store and only 3 at the warehouse. I'd snap one up if you really want one.

6% of the reviews are 1s and most of the complaints are that it's underpowered. I bet if you grab that 9ah for $79 it runs better.

I was contemplating it the other day, purely for price, but forgot about it. Now looking closer at if after your comment, I don't notice anywhere it saying it is a brushless motor, which would explain it being underpowered, or underperforming.

I really like it. Delivered to my door a couple hours after ordering. Arrived square, but has adjustments to fix things if it falls off the sawhorse. Nice and mobile, weighing under 22 pounds, but very solid feeling. Cuts smooth with the included blade. As powerful as my Milwaukee 18v. No problem cutting a 2x4. Less powerful than my 36v Makita, but I will not be ripping anything with this chop saw. It claims 500 cuts on a single battery which is about 450 cuts more than I would use it for before grabbing a cord and using my Makita compound sliding unit. They sacrificed battery longevity for brushed operation I guess. My makita 36v claims well over 1000 cuts if I remember correctly. Much more precise and rugged than my corded Ryobi chop saw at about the same weight. Just what I wanted for quick setups. Comes with a round cell 4Ah battery and a 4 ampere charger. They are $199 until September 16.
