I literally bought this for the battery. I had the 20v max weed eater first and wanted an extra battery, saw this and thought, no brainer. I actually haven't used it yet but my son-in-law has one just like it and he loves it. I haven't had a Black and Decker product fail me yet.

My husband said he would like to have a circular saw and our anniversary is in September. I hope this is the one he wanted because it is built sturdy and looks like it will be durable. We shall see in a few days!!!

Does the trick for smaller jobs and tight areas
Rating: 5
This 5 1/2 inch hand saw is one of the best products I've ever owned. Small, light-weight, but durable for just about any small to medium woodworking projects one might be considering. I've cut through 1/4" and 1/2" plywood with ease with this saw. Two by fours are a cinch, quick and easy. The 20V Lithium battery provides plenty of power to get the job done. However, depending on the type of wood one is cutting and how much needs to be cut, the battery will drain quicker. I discovered that; after constant hard use for about an hour and a half, the saw would stop cutting through the piece of plywood, indicating that it needed a charge on the battery. It took about an hour to recharge the battery. I highly recommend purchasing several extra batteries and keep them on charge so that one can continue on with their work instead of having to stop and wait for the battery to charge. If you're a person who likes to do small projects where a lot of wood cutting is involved, and you don't like hefting a heavier electric circular saw, this light-weight little saw will not only get the job done, but won't wear your hand/arm out while doing it. This saw is light enough for the average woman to handle and not get fatigued in the arms during use.

Great little saw. Do not have to look up a drop cord and fined a plugin just to make one little cut.

Best purchase Ever!!!
Rating: 5
I was extremely skeptical at first to go with Black and Decker, since most people use other brands but this outperformed my DeWALT, Bosch, & Makita! And it was so much less expensive. After a friend helped me build my deck with it, he went out and bought the same one. It really is a powerful saw, battery lasts forever on a single charge. I have to admit I was stuck in my ways “brand names” but Black and Decker is back!

Not the worst tools.
Rating: 2
I bought the set. It came with the circular saw, the drill, two 20v batteries and the fast charger. I'll say straight away. These tool are for 'light' duty. The drill is not good. I own 18v dewalt cordless drills as well and the dewalt is by far better. And the circular saw is not good either. I just bought a house and in the middle of remodel. So with that said I'm having to cut 2×2, 2×4, and plywood. this saw gets stuck, just shuts off in the middle of a cut. And it kills the battery within 15 minutes of cut time. keep in mind these are brand new batteries and tools. With as much as these cost even being from Wal-Mart should have a bit better quality than they do. Some people cannot afford high quality tools, etc so they rely on black and Decker, or other Wal-Mart specials. With all of that said, the drill and saw would be ideal for someone in the drywall business as it would probably handle well with this softer material.

Did not come with necessary piece to operate
Rating: 1
Bought this for my husband's birthday for $73.00 and the protection plan for 3 years. Upon opening the box, it did not include the blade, when it should have. Now when I look at the product, its even less than what I paid for it, and I still don't have a blade for it.

Powerful Small Wood Cutting Saw
Rating: 5
The Porter Cable heavy duty magnesium shoe circular saw is light- weight, weighing less than 10 pounds. It is an effective saw for DIY wood cutting projects. It has double handles that are sturdy, durable, and provide a solid grip while using. The saw comes with a blade, and it is easy to add and remove. This saw comes with a long power cord; however, we choose to use an extension cord for our projects. There is a little play with the magnesium shoe when cutting lines, but this is not a deal breaker.

Gold standard saw
Rating: 5
What a STOUT tool! Great power, HUGE shoe (aka bottom plate) that gives you ample flat surface area to stay on your piece, heavy so it stays planted but doesn't "feel" heavy when you're cutting, just all around an awesome tool. The blade tool has a place on the saw itself so it's right there when you need it. Tool-less height and angle adjustment (and goes past 45 degrees!) and get this; no safety lockout on the trigger. So easy to use, cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter, and with the weight it has it virtually eliminates kick-back. Spend your money on a great tool (that also you can get parts for like this one) and you'll never regret it!

Can't stop me now!
Rating: 5
So excited to work with my first circular saw. I do a LOT of DIY but have only worked with a jig saw so far. I've been nervous to work with a circular saw but I'm scheduled to volunteer in the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home in the spring and want to be familiar with, and have access to my own standard equipment. I've also been itching to try a lot of projects I see online, but so far have lacked the tool power. This saw is weighty and feels solid in my hands. The only thing I don't like about it is the key storage. I removed it because it was a distraction and found it a permanent tool box drawer where it won't get lost. Santa is bringing me a saw bench, so in the meantime I tried a few cuts on my neighbor's bench in his garage. His saw (diff brand) did not feel as substantial to me. Maybe just because the blade was newer, but he seemed to prefer this saw more than his own. I spent the time to read the whole product guide carefully and and am still learning, but I feel very comfortable with the mechanics. I'm so over being nervous and super excited to start some projects!

I'm happy I got ti am very impressed with this power saw. Works just as well as a known name brand. I really like the magnesium blade as it gives a nice smooth cut. Can't wait to do more projects around the house.

I finally got a real circular saw not some plastic toy like the skil crap I made the mistake of purchasing. This saw is perfectly built in both built material and performance. What great deal for this great tool.

Disappointing performance
Rating: 1
I was very disappointed with this saw. I was attracted to it because of the magnesium shoe as opposed to the steel shoe. However, the saw does not cut straight! I've used a straight edge as a guide and still do not get a completely straight cut, even with a good Freud blade. My guess is the arbor has too much wiggle in it or the shoe and the blade are not perfectly parallel.
