A lot of power for an 18v circular saw compared with the Bosch green circular saw, this is multiple times better. As it is bigger and heavier (and twice the price) it is a little more difficult to operate than the Bosch but still a quality saw with loads of oomph and is better at keeping a straight line. Class tool.

The first cuts I made were through 6" square 100 year old oak posts and it was like putting a hot knife through butter. Amazing power, easy to use even when making horizontal cuts. Definitely a good buy like all Dewalt tools.

De Walt offer good quality mid range tools, this saw is excellent value for money. The motor brake system is particularly good, the saw is powerful, not too heavy, easy to adjust cutting depth & angle, comfortable to hold & nicely balanced. On the downside there is a lot of cheap, bent steel strip bracketry in the construction, but then it isnt a Festool!! Early days yet, lets see how it lasts!!

I was in two minds wether to buy a cheapie saw or invest in a cordless higher end product, so glad I chose the dewalt. I had owned a cheap brand before and to be fair it lasted ok, but the difference in safety and quality is instantly recognisable.

Surprisingly powerful. I managed to make 6 cuts of 62cm 38mm-thick chipboard worktop and still had 1 LED's-worth of a small 2.0Ah battery remaining. The blade has to be spinning freely on startup so sometimes it's tricky to stop and then start again when you're in the middle of a cut, so the lesson is...don't stop mid-cut! Highly recommended product. I can't comment on how better or worse they are than budget tools...this is the first battery circular saw I've tried. But experience with other DeWalt battery devices has taught me there's little point in skimping if you want reliability and high performance.
