Handy size and also very versatile.

Probably my 2nd most used 20v DeWalt tool, after my drill/driver. I've used this for general construction; cutting wood, brick, tile. etc. it's lightweight and easy to use for an extended time. the sighting set up on it works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect go to flooring saw
on July 8, 2026
Posted by: The JOAT
from Charlotte NC
I bought this when it first came out and it's been a life saver for all things flooring and smaller reno jobs. It's portable, easy to use, ergonomic and light. When space or ease of use is what you need? This is the go to saw for the job.. if you're doing flooring without this? You are crazy, because this saw is pretty much the ideal flooring cutting machine. Add a finishing blade for smooth cuts, and don't worry it's the only one I know of that can also cut 2by which in and of itself puts it in a category all its own. Get one today and you'll see what I'm talking about

Handy Saw

I really like this saw. It is super handy for quick cuts and is longer so it can reach out. It is very ergonomic. Cuts accurate for a small saw.

Compact, Convenient, and Powerful

By far one of the most convenient saws I own. The size makes it really handy, and it's the first saw I grab for quick cuts. It's lightweight, has plenty of power, and is perfect for everyday jobs.

Good idea, poor execution.

from Minnesota
I wanted to love this saw. I even asked for it for my birthday. It is great for thin stock like a 1x2 but it binds up constantly on anything bigger. I'm going it three stars because it's easy for me to use with one hand, and it really is nice for small cuts on thin stock like trim.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Katy, I appreciate your feedback on the DCS571B ATOMIC™ 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 4-1/2 in. Circular Saw (Tool Only) and I'm sorry to hear it is binding up on anything bigger than 1x2 stock. Your satisfaction is our top priority. Someone from our customer service team will be in contact with you via the email address you provided to assist you.

When a Large Saw is just too much
on August 21, 2025
Posted by: Tool Engineer
This small saw can save the day when a larger saw just can’t get the job done. This marvel of technology can squeeze in tight spots and make clean cuts effortlessly. The battery power allows you the freedom to take this saw with you and use it anywhere. It is much lighter than carrying a circular saw and feels good in your hands while using it. This saw has saved me a lot of time and is one of my go to tools when it comes to cutting. This is definitely a tool you should have in your toolbox. I recommend getting one.

The MOST useful saw I own
on June 8, 2025
Posted by: JF24
This is the MOST useful saw I own and had replaced the larger hand-held saws. Lightweight and easy to handle, yet cuts 90% of the things I need to cut. Dewalt quality, durable, good batteries.

Great power and size
on April 26, 2025

from Ankeny iowa
I’ve had this saw for a little over 2 years and there is no better saw out there for cutting plywood on a roof! This saw is safe, and easy to operate, especially when you are working alone or with heights, the hook on the back makes it great for storing when it is not in use! Would recommend for anyone doing rough framing! Quick, easy, and light enough to handle with one hand! This is a must have tool!
