Saw has good power
Rating: 5
I have had my DEWALT 60V circular saw for about 4 months now. Now that I use this one I see the lack of power in other brands like Milwaukee. This thing cuts very good. It does not bog down like other cordless saws. Fresh battery and blade and I'm good to go for a long while. I like this saw. I recommend investing in this saw to anyone looking to buy.

Power in my hand
Rating: 5
I find myself using this tool more than my corded DeWalt saw. Lots of power, it will last all day on one battery on framing and other tasks. Good weight not too heavy but enough to keep straight while ripping. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable and easy to use.
Rating: 5
Had an old Craftsman saw and it was stolen from my garage. I purchased this DeWalt saw to finish the project I had stared and it was so much easier to operate than the old Craftsman. I'm pretty rough on tools and this saw has been dropped (accidentally) and never missed a beat. I like the saws so much I purchased the Mitter saw Mitter table to go with it. I don't believe I'll be using any other brand but DeWalt from now on. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

An amazing tool
Rating: 5
I can't say enough about this tool. I have the older 6.5”, 18 volt saw. I used it for quite a bit over the years. If you planed to building any thing you had to keep 2 - 3 batteries around to do a day's work. I also felt it had no power. You could forget ripping pressure treated wood, it stained the whole length and quickly killed the battery. I recently purchased the 60 volt circular saw. It cuts through pressure treated wood with ease. I built a 16x12 stick by stick. The whole job used only 2 batteries. Simply amazing tool!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great time saver
Rating: 5
I like the fact that I can go from my drill to saw with just a switch of a battery. I love the fact that it is cordless and fits well with all my other dewalt tools [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bought this over the summer and have really gotten to put it through its paces the last month or so. It's outperformed every expectation I've had. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Had the 20v version and didn't know if it would be worth the upgrade but this thing packed a punch definitely worth it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Lots of power
Rating: 4
I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE POWER OF THE SAW. IT WEIGHS LESS THEN THE GREEN COMPETITOR MY PARTNER USES. HOWEVER THE ERGONOMICS IS BETTER ON THE GREEN ONE. MY TRIGGER FINGER BINDS ON THE GUARD WHEN USING. BATTERY LIFE IS GOOD NOT GREAT EVEN WITH A FULLY CHARGED FLEXVOLT BATTERY. PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS EXCEPT I SOMETIMES USE COMPETITOR'S CORDLESS SAW THAT IS SLIGHTLY NICER BUT WEIGHS MORE WITH ITS 2 BATTERIES. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
