I'm a builder of some 40 years. This is a nice little saw for a few cuts when you don't want to haul out the cords. It is not a production saw but for cutting a dozen or so studs or making some adjustment cuts on plywood shearing, it's a great tool to have on your truck. Plenty of power for 2x material.

This saw looks great and has great specs. It's very lightweight and a list of great features. If you have a corded circular saw or even a battery operated saw-za, this will be a disappointment. Definitely does not do anymore than a 2x4. If you try it won't even cut, it just stops. Secondly the position of the 2x4 matters. If it is straight on a table or horse it should be fine. If you are cutting a stud or fence post, it may take a few attempts. Overall if you can get it for less than 60 probably worth it, anymore and you will regret it.

Lightweight, compact and balanced. Plenty of power for any framing. Cuts 1 3/4” LVLs easily. I have the Milwaukee 6 1/2” and it probably has more power but the Makita saw is my favorite.

So if I had this tool for about 8 months. Super happy with it. It's not nasty loud. My wife even uses it. Super lightweight. Would highly recommend this for somebody who's doing small cuts.

this is my first cordless circle saw and I love it. It weighs less than my old plug in, is much easier on the ears, has a breaking system, light for battery capacity, and it's cordless. The only issue I had was it being compatible with my older makita batteries which I could snap on for some reason.
