Among the homeowner saws we tested, this one is about as close to pro-grade as you can get. And given what it costs and its price-performance ratio, it would be fitting for a contractor to keep this saw on the truck as a backup or a tool. It’s going to replace my full-size circ saw in my truck, since I don’t have a true need for something that large on electrical jobs. It’s definitely powerful enough for me to use on any job I currently need it for, and the compact size makes it a plus for stowing in my work truck.
Shaving a couple of pounds off may equate to finishing the house sooner, which could contribute to your bottom line. With manufacturers working so hard to develop cordless tools, you also may wonder if these are the best dewalt tool fit for you. Homeowner-grade cordless saws have enough power to cut 2 x 3 and 2 x 4 lumber, pine planks, and plywood. We don’t see it as a house framing tool where you need a better combination of lightness and power.
The fact that it is cordless and brushless makes it able to compete highly with anything else on the market currently. One thing I noticed that’s different than normal circ saws is the way you change out blades. Normally you need a small hex-wrench to remove the 7 1/4” blades, but with this little guy all you need is an Allen wrench. I don’t see a benefit or disadvantage to this either way, as both full-sized and compact versions of their saws have a slot that the tool snaps into, so you don’t lose the tool.

This material is thicker, wider, and more difficult to handle and cut than standard lumber used to build houses. It’s used for jobs like supporting ships in ship yards and propping up gigantic pipes and valves in fabrication facilities. It’s the shoring material that’s used to stabilize the wall of excavations, usually around foundations but also pipe trenches. DeWalt took its 20-volt cordless circular saw and sent it to the gym. Now it can run on a standard 20-volt Max battery or the hulking dual-voltage 20/60 Flex Volt power pack. The latter enables a ridiculous amount of cuts on one charge or repeated cuts at its depth of 2-9⁄16 inches.
