 Very pleased with performance for cutting concrete July 27, 2010
David (Illinois)
I have been hunting for a cordless saw to match with a diamond blade cut concrete. This is the ONLY choice. The big problem is that every other cordless circular saw is a 6.5" size. Go try to find a diamond 6.5" diamond blade with the right arbor size. Doesn't exist. So this saw came to the rescue. Its 36V are indeed enough power for me. We tried the concrete cutting, and it works pretty well. We're happy. Thanks Dewalt. (why is this the ONLY 7.25" cordless circular saw sold today -- is that such an obscure niche of the marketplace???)
What a great product!!! July 17, 2010

I bought the whole 4pc kit 4 years ago... the most useful tools in the kit were the skill saw and the recip. saw. after 4 years of everyday use, the skill saw is still my number 1 favorite tool in my collection. the only time I use a corded saw anymore is for grinding into morter or cutting through lots of shingles. I love my saw too much to put it through such abuse. I use it to sheet in roofs or to frame/build stuff with. it is truely the power of a corded tool without the cord. I remember the first day I bought the saw I was installing a steal metal shingle roof. I put a carbide sheet metal blade in it and cut through 7 panels at once, it buzzed through it like a charm. from that moment on, I was sold... the best saw ever.
P.S. My only complaint would be the plastic gaurd... sometimes when cutting through stuff you have to hold it open or it will prevent the saw from continuing forward.
Awesome Saw August 29, 2009

This is a great saw. After using other cordless saws (Makita,Rigid,Bosch) this saw is way better. The 36v battery lasts pretty long (As with any cordless saw, the thicker the material, the shorter the battery will last). With the 36v battery as well, you have power to the end. It doesn't fade and get slower. For cutting sheathing, it rocks. I resheathed many roofs with it and on more than one occasion using just one battery. When it comes to cutting 2x material, it works pretty good. If you're making an angle cut with a beveled cut though (for example when building a hip roof), it will do the job, but you need a bit of patience. With a new blade it works a bit better. But unless you're using a worm drive saw, its pretty normal for a circular saw. A great thing about this saw to is that it has a 7 1/4 inch blade. Most cordless saws have 6 1/2 and if you need to buy a new blade, you don't have a lot of choice and not every store carries it. But this saw had a "normal" size blade which means that you have much more selection and pretty much every hardware store carries them. I have a Bosch framing blade on mine at works great. Also when changing the blade you don't need a wrench or an Allen key to get it off. You push out a little thing and unscrew it. Very easy to change the blades. This winter I helped my brother in-law build his house in Northern Quebec in December. This saw did everything. And that week it was -25 C almost everyday. The saw just kept on working. Combined with the Dewalt 36v reciprocating saw, you could accomplish most tasks with ease. My suggestion though is that if you know you are going to use it a lot, get another battery. The Dewalt 36v batteries are a little expensive, but well worth it.

This saw would get five starts if it had a rafter hook. To me, the biggest advantage of this saw is you can take it up on the roof and not worry about dragging a cord through trusses, but the problem is where to put it when you are framing a roof. If it had a rafter hook, it would be much more convienient. Other than that, it has good power, not near as much as a worm drive though, it will get bogged down trying to rip lumber or cuttig a bevel, but has much more torque than the 18v saws. One battery will last about a half day, so 2 batteries will usually get you through the day. I would recomend this saw to a framing crew, it is suprising how much you will use it once you get it out. Everyone usually goes for this saw first, because of the convienience of it. I think it is defintely worth the investment. Just get 2 batteries.
Great cordless saw January 6, 2008

This Dewalt 36-volt 7-1/4 cordless circular saw works great. At first I was somewhat skeptical of how much power this saw would really have, and it has not let me down. This saw has plenty of power and is very easy to use. I used it over the weekend to cut through oak for some cabinet work, and it cuts like butter and seems lighter in weight than I had imagined. Mine came in a combo kit with the light, hammer drill, and reciprocating saw. I would definitely recommend this saw to others. Another great tool from Dewalt.
