I am a concrete contractor doing commercial projects throughout California. During my 42 year career I have seen battery powered tools evolve from the very first Mikita 9v drill motor to the completely revolutionary 60v tools offered now. My crews literally fight over these 60v circular saws and this is the very first saw which rivals the power of a corded tool.
PLUS: Full 7-1/4” blade. So many others (including 20v and 36v tools) are limited to a 6-1/2” blade. Feels like and operates like the Skill 77 worm drive saw. Battery life is astonishing. I’ve cut hundreds of 2 X 4 plates with one battery with power to spare. Blade is on the left side of the tool which is essential for a right handed operator. That affords an unobstructed view of the cut line and blade while operating.
NEGATIVES: I hate, hate, HATE the safety switch on all battery operated circular saws. But they ALL have them. Personally, I don’t “get it”. Why are corded saws manufactured without this safety switch yet cordless saws are all made with them?
Overall it’s an amazing tool and a real money maker for me. Labor costs are by far the most expensive component of what I do. So no more unrolling cords, fighting as those cords get caught continuously on form work, metal stakes and rebar. I see that Dewalt will soon be offering a 12 amp hour battery. I currently use the 9ah batteries and would recommend using the 9ah or 12 ah battery.

When it comes to battery saws.. this one takes the cake. It’s a bit heavy but that works to your advantage once it’s set on the wood. Plenty of torque to cut treated pine 6×6 as deep as it will cut. Battery actually last a lot longer than I expected in it also. Great saw if you frame or need a heavy but portable circular saw for heavy, long duration cutting. 💯

I was curious about a blade left circular saw, there were so many professionals that act like it is an absolute necessity. So I figured I would give it a try with DeWalts Flexvolt as I already have batteries from the Flexvolt 60v Sidewinder. First things first, this saw is VERY powerful, more powerful then any circular saw I have ever seen. It cuts extremely smooth with no resistance pushing forward. All of my cuts were dead on and the saw was just begging for more.
Now for the blade left orientation, to me its not really a big deal, I feel like I can cut fine with blade right or blade left. However a few times I accidentally grabbed the saw as if I were going to cut left handed (which I’ve never done before) because I am so used to the blade being on the opposite side. But people act like blade left is the best thing since sliced bread, and to be honest I do not think it is a necessity. Blade right is perfectly fine if that is what you are used to, but I feel like I can cut fine with either. Having said that, there are instances that you may run into where its good to have a blade left saw or a blade right saw, so I am going to keep it to have the best of both worlds. The saw is great, and is definitely better then the original Flexvolt Sidewinder. Though this is not a true worm drive saw, its more powerful then 90% of the worm drive saws out there. I’ve read a lot of complaints about the weight, these people better grow some guns because this saw is not that heavy, I can easily work all day with this thing and I am not really a big guy, 5’11/average build and I have no problem lugging this thing around. I love the smaller profile shoe compared to the sidewinder which is common among worm drive saws as there is less surface area which means less friction and resistance but also means it is not as stable as a bigger shoe saw, but with practice you will be fine. All of the guides and settings are easy to read and adjust, I especially like that the 0 degree cut line has a notch which I prefer then just a line like most saws have. Cannot really speak to battery life yet, but have had no issues so far. All in all it feels very solid, the only thing that felt a little flimsy to me was the safety switch, kinda felt like it may start getting stuck or something in the future, maybe not but it did feel cheap. If you are on the fence about staying right blade or switching to left, I say stick with right blade, if your just in the market for a circular saw and do not care about blade orientation then BUY THIS SAW.

Works great cuts actually. It’s heavy but I like that about it. Has a good hook for hanging

A little heavier than a corded saw, while using with the 9ah battery, but this Saw is as powerful as my corded wormdrive saws. You can rip lvl, 2×12,s, rip multiple pieces of plywood at a time, 9ah battery’s give you hours of use, I would make sure you always have a second battery,

The saw is powerful for short cuts, but the battery runs out too quickly, especially when cutting through thicker materials. Not ideal for long jobs. I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy use.

Solid Beast of a saw. Powers through pretty much anything you throw at it. Make no mistake though, this is not a one handed reach out on a roof kind of saw. Love it though
Update: biggest issue is it absolutely trashes fully charged 60v 6ah batteries. I am demo-ing a 10×20 deck and it only takes (4) 10 foot passes through 5/4 decking to kill the battery. If your lucky you might get five. I only own four of the 6ah so it made the saw useless by mid morning. I dont know if a 12ah will fit in this saw but it needs it or better power management.

El producto llegó impecable, pensé que por ser de exportación, llegaría el paquete algo dañado pero llegó en muy buen estado tanto el producto como la caja, es nuevo.

This product has great performance, and great battery life . Easy to use and a great value. Portability is good and a good size.

The power of this saw is impressive. Everything I have cut so far, it has not bogged down, or cut out. I’m new to the right hand saw, and as such, takes a bit of getting use to the sight line on angle cuts, but that’s my lack of skills…not the saw. Get one. You won’t be disappointed.
