I hope this will help someone decide if they should purchase this tool. I bought this tool to cut 2" pink close cell foam board. Per a YouTube posting, if you turn the blade around, it will cut the board with very little dust. It works like a charm. Maybe down the road I will install the blade correctly and see how it cuts lumber. I have 4 other Worx cordless tools and they are not bad for light duty jobs. So if you are a weekend DIY person, might give their tools a try.
Problem #1 is this saw does not cut 2x4's plain and simple..should be good for plywood or 1 bys but that's about it..Do yourself a favor and buy at least the 5 1/2" saw..
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Valued Customer! It's unfortunate to learn that the Nitro 20V Power Share Worxsaw 4.5" Cordless Compact Circular Saw fell below your purchase expectations. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us understand where we can improve your DIY lawn and garden experience.
I'm a remodeling contractor and my work can often be very demanding. I need tools that are not only heavy duty, but rugged as well. I purchased this tool to finish installing laminate flooring and it did well for a while. The blade bent after a few hours use and the cuts were not straight. The base is not very sturdy and although I like the tool, I should have opted for the corded version.

I purchased this saw to finish a laminate flooring job. Out of the box I liked the light weight and how it felt in my hand. At work the saw cut well but it didn't feel heavy duty but it's too soon to tell if it will stand the test of time.
