They'll go to use their saw, only to find the battery is dead, or they'll use it for a little while, and have to stop to recharge the battery. Or they'll have to buy a bunch of batteries and mess with the charging and keeping track of which ones are charged and which ones need to be charged. Plus, battery powered saws tend to cost more, are bulkier, and weigh more.
