I was a little concerned about a full size cordless circular saw but this saw has great torque and does not burn through batteries at an unusually high rate. Unless you're building a house this saw and a 1 or 2 extra batteries to keep recharging will do anything you ask of it. Also, the blade that comes...

Cordless tools are great, wonderful etc. until you have to replace the batteries. Replacement batteries can be very expensive. Almost half the cost of the tool itself. I learned this fact after I had to replace the lithium batteries for my cordless drill.

This is a great circular saw simply because of the freedom of movement while performing your tasks on a given job. However, there is just one limitation from this circular saw compared to its corded brethren: battery life.

I bought this to use with my C3 NiCad 1/2" Drill and Sawzall as my first circular saw. Now, it is a great saw, no doubt. It has great unique features that set it apart from other similar cordless circular saws such as the laser guide, the standard 7 1/4" blade, and the standard round arbor. The blade size was mainly what sold me, and that I already had batteries and two other tools so it just made sense. AT THE TIME. I got it and bought a new Freud DemoDemon carbide tipped blade to finish it off. The laser guide works great and i bet this would be great as a trim saw, but for general use, look...
