Quote from Evann89581 :
Not worm drive, Makita doesn't even make a worm drive saw, they favor hypoid saws. This saw also has a higher RPM than the sidewinder as well. Basically while much of what you said is true, very little of it applies to these Makita saws.
This is directly from Home Depot, indicates it is a worm drive:

Again, not a worm drive saw. The RPM's you are correct, I looked at the wrong saw. The only thing I can think of as far as the RPM being different is that the rear handle has a slightly higher cutting capacity so they may have tweaked the motor a bit.

I just bought mine but only for pick up. Try picking it up locally. The hack works but the sale ends May 31, 2021.
Do you happen to know if the two free batteries deal is still ongoing?

The deal expired but if you see the ad posted advertise in-store, take a picture, and try to get the deal that way. I have done it with Lowes but has been difficult with Home Depot.

First of all, the deal is no expired, in runs through the 30th.

Second of all, if one Home Depot has the saw but is not running the deal, buy it and take it do a Home Depot that is running the deal, grab the batteries, and do a return and rebuy it.

Done!
