Small powerhouse
on January 19, 2022
Posted by: conroman

I have been wanting a smaller battery operated circular saw. I did my research and it came down to this and one other. What ultimately decided it for me was that I needed to replace most of my battery operated to tools. I loved my old set -but after 20 plus years of lots of use - the collets weren’t working and it was time for new batteries. My hands are not as strong as they used to be - so size - weight and battery removal is really important. I couldn’t pinch my fingers together hard enough to get the batteries off my old kit. Time and time again I found myself in a spot where my project was not portable - and my 5 1/2” circular saw was not able to get into tighter spaces.
I love this 4 1/2” saw. The battery slides on and off with one locking button. The design is slender enough to get into most spaces. Powerful! I purchased more dewalt tools and varying batteries. Quality feel!

I bought this saw because I was having to work in a tight spot on a roof. It now has replaced all my circular saws. I use it for everything. Much easier to rip plywood straight. I only have a small battery but in runs almost all day.

lightless/laserless lightsaber
on August 6, 2019

really liking it so far. almost perfect but it would be nice to have the same form factor with a bigger blade. would also be pretty cool to have a laser or light. the shoe/table has better markings/actual notches for lining the saw up with the measured piece so you dont have to stare directly at the blade and i feel i get a much straighter cut freehanding without needing a track or speed square. the plastic guard is as good as a guard needs to be to keep you safe and weighs less than metal making this thing feel like a lightsaber, it is so light. its pretty scary how light these saws are, they really do feel like toys compared to the saws of yesteryear... but not in a bad way of course... apart from the size of the cut. the safety trigger is far better than the safety buttons of many other circular saws for reasons that need not be explained. having a belt hook on this thing totally completes the jedi feeling, never before has a professional grade circular saw ever been this mobile. would be nice to have bigger blade cap but this is the saw youll take up the ladder or use above your head. you probably wont be cutting 4by with this

Best Saw Out
on February 22, 2023
Posted by: TreyOats
This is the perfect saw for all uses. It is so compact and small that it allows you to take it and use it in places that you never thought you could take a skill saw. The blade is just big enough to allow for a full cut through any 2x materials. It is also isn’t lacking any power being as small as it is. No problems getting through anything treated or lvls. Overall my favorite tool that dewalt has came out with.

Dust Bag!!!
on May 8, 2020
Posted by: Nevada Homer

This saw is exactly what I need to work with OSB and plywood. A dust bag did not come with the saw and I have spent 45 minutes on this site looking for the dust bag. Every time I use the search box, all I get are dust bags for miter saws. What is the correct bag?

Missing blade and accessories
on February 12, 2021
Posted by: Avon
Bought right before going 500+ miles out of town for a job, but when I got there and opened up the box, it was missing the dust port attachment and the blade! I guess I should have checked before working at a place 70 miles from the nearest hardware store, but when I got there they didn’t have any 4 1/2 blades.
I was looking forward to going cordless on this job, but I had to bring out the cordless saw. Disappointed that they could forget something as essential as the blade with a new tool.

Disappointed with performance
on April 2, 2021

from Milwaukee, wi
I bought this saw in October 2020 and finally put it to use this spring. My initial impressions were positive, but after using it for a while, I'm disappointed. I thought I could get used to the left-cut saw (after using a right-cut saw). Still not used to positioning the off-cut side on the left. When cutting thin material with the depth of cut set to a shallow cut, I do not like the ergonomics of the grinder-style handle. I find any slight movement of my wrist causes me to either go off the cut line or cause my cut to not be square. If I could send it back, and get a 7 1/4" saw I would, but I'm past the return period.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Tool!

Such an awesome and dependable saw to have around the house, especially for DIY stuff. So far I've built a greenhouse, a bench/shoe rack out of solid oak, and a few bathroom cabinets. I tossed a 20v 3AH battery on it and it ripped through 1-inch oak like I was just cutting subflooring! The handle and weight balance are different than a traditional circular saw, so it did take a little practice to cut true, but it's not a steep learning curve.
