Great Compact Circular Saw w Very Long Handle
on September 16, 2019
Posted by: Big B 83
from Spokane Washington
Just bought last week and was very impressed with the power & capability in such a lightweight package. The long handle is great for ripping sheets, floor demo and staying on line etc. The dust port is also surprisingly effective. Yes finding additional blade options will require searching & purchasing online for time being but for demo, ripping and even vertical cutting it is far better than using a traditional circular saw. Far safer and more stable than using a grinder. The only things that would make this saw better would be a laser guide, wider blade availability & Selection and the ability to swivel the long handle 180 degrees so that you could continue your cuts into corners and tight spaces when doing demo work etc.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome little saw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tool several months ago for cutting cieling joists to make room for a 17' 6x12 microlam beam i was installing on a kitchen remodel. Very versatile and easy to fit in tight spaces. I especially like the larger belt hook that made it very easy to suspend from my bags while on ladder. I wish all the tools came with larger belt hook. Been trying to order just those belt hooks for all my dewalt tools but having some difficulty finding them online. Anyways like all my dewalt tools very well built and durable. Always look forward to seeing what new tools the geniuses at dewalt will come up with next.

Want to love it. Blade is 1/8” too short for 2x4’s

I bought this as an all around handy circular saw, but either mine is defective or it’s just a hair too small to handle 2x4’s easily. It’s pretty maddening since it just barley doesn’t cut all the way through. This is from multiple 2x4’s both treated and untreated and from multiple big box stores. It’s so close to being awesome, but I just feel like I wasted my money since I ended up having to buy a larger circular saw since this one was driving me mad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This saw is very powerful for its size, it cuts very nicely, I love the convenience of it being hand held. It fits in tight places, and the belt hook is handy. Great for your beginning DIYer to the professionals.

Handy little saw love it!

This thing is truly my most used saw it especially great when working off a ladder or trying to hang over something and cut something. It's also great for a short guys trying to cut across sheets of plywood I can reach all the way across with this with a regular skill saw I have to climb on top of the pile. The only thing I would change with a saw is I'd add a light to the end so I could see where it's cutting it when it's dark

Changed the way we work!

I was skeptical at first for sure. A saw this small didn't seem like it would make the cut on our jobsites. A few initial challenging cuts showed that it lacked a little power and bound easily.
However.... when you use it for the right application it's unbeatable. Smaller stock will be shredded by it and I really appreciate the shallow blade depth for safety and clearance reasons. This saw really shined on this last Trex deck we built. We trimmed every board, cut every length, made every miter on this little beauty. The deck turned out wonderful and we all were stoked on how light and portable this saw was during the job. The added belt hook is also a big deal to us when walking around and trying to keep hands free.
Well done Dewalt!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice secondary saw to carry around in the truck for quick cuts. Makes ripping plywood a breeze. Cuts are smooth and battery lasts very well
