What is the country of manufacture on the unit you received?

The tool I just received is labeled “made in China.”

How is this saw when cutting through 1 1/2" butcher block maple ? I want something to cut a sink hole for my counter top.

It should work just fine. I've not cut wood that thick, but I've cut countless counter tops with no problem.

How much does it weigh (just the tool) and how long is the cord?

I would say it is around 10 - 12 pounds. Not a light cheap tool. The cord is around 12 foot long. Hope this helps

What is the benefit with barrel grip

I'd say it was more gimmicky than anything. But... I'm sure there's a speal about it being anti fatigue and research having gone into the most comfortable design and blah blah blah. As a user, I must say that I'm impressed with it. It's been comfortable for extended use and fatigue has not been a problem. I guess I haven't paid much attention to it since the problems not there. Good tool.
