Be the sharpest knife in the toolbox with these cordless circular saws
Cordless tools offer you a lot of versatility and maneuverability on whatever job you are using them on. While you can buy them with or without batteries, this list all has a battery included. After all, unless you have been collecting them for a long time, you are likely going to need new batteries.
Best overall
DEWALT 20V MAX
Staff pick
When looking at an overall best product, the cost vs. the features is one of the critical points. The DeWalt Max is a workhorse with a five amp hour battery and charger in the set. The 5,200 RPM motor is powerful enough for any job, and the big battery should last you all day too. The blade has an excellent 57-degree tilt available for beveling as well.
My favorite thing
Makita XSS01T
While this isn't the best overall because of the price, it is my favorite saw of the bunch. Makita makes excellent tools that last a long while, and this saw is no exception. This set comes with two five amp-hour (5Ah) batteries for maximum usage time, and the build quality is outstanding. If you have the money, you should consider this.
Best budget option
BLACK+DECKER 20V
For those of us who need to pinch the pennies, but who need a saw that will do the job, the Black + Decker 20v is a great deal. It has a high-torque motor, which is excellent, and it has a low price and supplies you with a battery that works across the whole Black + Decker range. It's the batteries that cost the most, after all, so getting one cheap is a big help.
Heavy duty
Makita XSH01PT
If you are in construction, especially house building, sometimes you need something with a little more firepower than the average DIY user. The Makita XSH01PT is a monster that is so powerful it uses two 5Ah batteries to run the 6,000 rpm motor. It can cut 640 cross-cuts per charge, almost triple anything else here, and with the power charger, those batteries can charge three times quicker than average. This is a beast and is for serious people doing serious work.
Cut the cord
There are many cordless saws out there, but only a few different brands are established enough to guarantee access to the batteries for the of the tool. With the DeWalt 20v Max you have the security of knowing the company has been around for a long time and is well known for taking care of its tools for a long while. The saw is also that perfect balance of cost and utility.
I have to say though, I'm a sucker for a good Makita, and if you can afford to splurge a little more than either the XSS01T or the bigger, more powerful XSH01PT may be the right choice for you. The XSH01PT especially, has everything you need to make any project a breeze, and the four 5Ah batteries it comes with are worth the money on their own.
