A capable budget-friendly circular saw for DIY woodworkers with existing 18V batteries, but lacks the durability and precision features that justify premium pricing.

Our Review

This 18V cordless circular saw delivers solid performance for occasional woodworking and light masonry cuts. The external rotor motor design provides consistent 4,500 RPM output with adequate torque for ripping softwood and crosscutting up to 2x material. The 40-tooth carbide blade handles both wood and stone reasonably well, though switching between materials requires patience with blade changes. The body-only configuration saves money but limits immediate usability without a compatible battery and charger. Build quality feels adequate—lightweight magnesium housing reduces fatigue during overhead cuts, though the plastic baseplate lacks the rigidity of premium models. Battery life varies significantly depending on your 18V system; expect 45-60 minutes of moderate cutting per charge. Best suited for DIY workshops rather than production environments.

What We Like

  • External rotor motor provides consistent 4,500 RPM for clean crosscuts
  • 40-tooth carbide blade handles both wood and stone applications effectively
  • Lightweight magnesium housing reduces operator fatigue on extended use
  • Affordable body-only option for those with existing 18V ecosystem

Watch Out For

  • Plastic baseplate sacrifices precision and durability compared to cast aluminum competitors
  • No battery/charger included requires separate purchase, increasing total cost
  • Blade switching complexity makes material transitions cumbersome for mixed projects
