DeWalt DCS577X1 Flexvolt 60V MAX 7-1/4" Cordless Worm Drive Style Saw (9.0Ah Battery)

This is the best cordless wormdrive. Everything dewalt comes out with is great. This saw has all the power you want in a cordless saw, cuts through 6x6 and 4x4 with ease. Has a nice straight push from the back which is different from past cordless saws made. It has a lot of control with it when it comes to ripping all of your boards down. If you decide that maybe it is to big for you I would highly recommend their 4” skill saw.

It is a great skillsaw, lots of power and is better than corded skillsaws.
Only downfall is that it's heavier than most battery power skillsaw.

I love the saw, the batteries give it some awesome power and gets the job done for framing at work. I've loved it thus far but not even 2 years later something broke internally. It sounds like the gears are grinding or something. Apparently the warranty is only for a year too. So now I'm stuck with a saw that I'm not even using. I guess it costs 160 or something to send in and have them work on it. I can buy the tool only for 250. I've looked into a local shop to fix it but it's out of warranty so now fixing it will be out of my pocket. This tool was expensive as it was.

I feel as if a saw that costs 350 with a battery when I paid for it 2 years ago should last way longer! They now cost 450 bucks with a battery! That's crazy! You shouldn't be paying more than 100 dollars a year for tool like this.

Overall it's a great product. It's a very tough saw that will power through anything you throw at it lumber wise, and will also take a beating on the jobsite. I just wish it didn't crap out on me not even 2 years in.

This saw is an absolute animal. 60 volts of raw fury....

Saw has lots of power. Just wish they made an accessory to cover the hole where the saw dust goes all over you

I bought this tool as I found myself quite often not near a power outlet for my regular saw. This worm drive seems to have more power than my corded unit and handles very easily, albeit a little on the heavy side.

The only draw back to the kit was the small bag. I am not sure why marketing decided to put a large tool with battery and charger in a small bag. With spare blades, I could not find a way to put everything in the bag and zip it closed. I ended up swapping bags with my Dewalt crown nailer.

I will start by saying I am a full time commercial plumber located in Wisconsin. In the time that I have owned this saw it has endured hot, cold, dusty, dirty, and muddy conditions without a single problem. If you're anything like my old school uncle who has been in the trades his entire life, you probably think any circle saw without a power cord is totally worthless, powerless, heavy, and doesn't last very long. Well he's right, this saw is a bit heavy. He is wrong however about every other reason he wouldn't buy this saw. That is until he tried mine and bought one the same night. This saw cuts just as hard, if not harder, than any other skill saw on the jobsite, corded or not. This saw paired with the 9.0 can last me all day as a plumber cutting supports for my pipes, and notching studs to pass my pipes though. I also have used this for side work doing general carpentry and remodeling and I can tell you that with 2 batteries you can cut pretty much uninterrupted. I never experience any power loss when cutting anything which is more than I can say for my last corded skill saw that was recently sold because I no longer have a use for it. My favorite feature on the saw is the blade left positioning. I used to have a blade right saw and this thing makes a huge difference in cut visibility and accuracy its amazing. In my opinion, this saws only downfall (if you can even call it that) is the weight of the entire thing with the battery attached. This thing is a little heavy and you can tell. I usually don't bring it out of the job box until its needed (which ends up being everyday) but luckily this thing has an amazing joist hanger hook on it so I hang it just about anywhere I can while not in use. So, if you're ready to cut that annoying cord on your jobsite but you want to maintain the power and reliability that you expect from a skill saw, this Dewalt Flexvolt worm drive style saw is the only choice.

all day. If I had to list a downside to the saw, it would have to be the weight. It does cause a bit of arm fatigue if I’m using it all day long but that’s understandable because you’re practically walking around with a 7 1/4” handheld chop saw that can cut through anything with ease. My coworkers own battery saws from that other company that is red and they all ask to borrow mine so if you’re debating what saw is the best of all the battery saws on the market today, this is the one

I've got three different circular saws, and this one is a beast. Put a nice aggressive framing blade, and it cuts through just about anything like butter.
