ONE+ Cordless Multi Material Saw (Bare Tool) for straight cuts and tile work

What it is and what it’s for

The ONE+ Cordless Multi Material Saw (Bare Tool) is a cordless multi-material saw designed to handle a bit of everything when you want accurate straight cuts and controlled plunging cuts—especially where space is tighter than usual. On paper, it’s aimed at DIY jobs around the home and garden rather than heavy site use.

The standout idea here is that you get two blades to cover different tasks: an 85mm multi material blade for wood, metal and plastic, and an included tile blade for wall and floor tiles. That combination is useful when a project mixes materials (think partitioning, trimming, or making neat openings) and you don’t want to keep changing tools.

The experience in real use (and the limits)

Where this saw sounds particularly practical is on layout-driven cuts. You’ve got a smooth plunging mechanism, an auxiliary handle, and depth markings on both the base and guard. In everyday terms, that translates to fewer “guess-and-check” passes when you’re trying to repeat a depth setting or start a plunge cut cleanly.

That said, it’s sold as a “Bare Tool”, meaning it doesn’t include a battery or charger. If you’re starting from zero—or you don’t already have ONE+ batteries—this can be a deal-breaker once you factor in what you’ll need to run it. Also, while it’s intended for multiple materials, it’s still a single saw, so performance across all materials won’t feel equally effortless in every scenario.

Where it shines most

If you frequently run small-to-medium DIY jobs that mix materials, this one makes sense. The included 85mm multi material blade is built for wood, metal and plastic, which covers a lot of common cutting needs. When the job turns to tiling, the included tile blade gives you a route for cutting wall and floor tiles without having to buy a separate blade straight away.

It also suits people who care about control more than brute force. Plunge cutting is rarely about speed, it’s about accuracy and control, and the mechanism plus depth markings are clearly there for that.

Key specs that matter for buying decisions

This model lists a maximum cutting depth of 26mm. That’s an important figure to sanity-check against the thickness of what you plan to cut. If your work often involves thicker sections than that, you may find it needs extra passes or a different approach.

It uses the 18V ONE+ cordless ecosystem. Because it’s a bare tool, compatibility is essentially the point: it’s designed to work with batteries and chargers across the ONE+ system for home and garden tools.

What you’ll notice day to day

The combination of smooth plunging, an auxiliary handle, and the depth markings suggests the manufacturer is pushing for repeatable, tidy results rather than “rough cut and carry on”. For example, if you’re trimming a board to depth before fitting something flush, you can set the depth, line up your straight cut, and plunge with more confidence than you’d get from a basic fixed-depth approach.

Also, because it’s described as ideal for tighter spaces, it’s worth considering if you regularly find yourself working in awkward corners, close to walls, or around obstacles where full-size saw setups aren’t convenient.

Who it suits, and who should be cautious

It’s a solid pick if you already own ONE+ batteries and you want one cordless saw that covers straight cuts plus plunge cuts, with blades for wood/metal/plastic and tiles. It also fits well if your projects are home-and-garden orientated and you value depth control.

It may not be the best match if you need maximum cutting depth beyond 26mm, or if you don’t have any ONE+ batteries and chargers already. In that case, the “bare tool” approach can leave you having to spend more than you expected just to get started.

Mini FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it a complete kit? No. It’s sold as a Bare Tool, so it doesn’t include a battery or charger.

What materials can it cut? It’s set up with an 85mm multi material blade for wood, metal and plastic, and an included tile blade for wall and floor tiles.

Is plunge cutting part of its design? Yes. It’s described as ideal for plunge cuts, and it includes a smooth plunging mechanism plus depth markings.

What cutting depth should I expect? The listed max cutting depth is 26mm, so it’s worth checking this against the thickness of your typical workpieces.

Final verdict

If you’re already in the ONE+ battery ecosystem and you want a controlled cordless saw that can handle straight cuts and plunge cuts in tighter spaces—with blade options for both general multi-material cutting and tiles—this bare tool looks like good value for the jobs it’s built around. You should buy it if your projects fit that mixed-material, depth-focused DIY pattern.

You may want to skip it if you need deeper cuts than 26mm very often, or if you don’t own ONE+ batteries and chargers yet, because the “bare tool” format can turn the initial purchase into a bigger expense than it first appears.
