D4arkness 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2020 I need a circular saw for a few random jobs. Nothing more than DIY. I was planning on spending lesser on a makita corded saw. However, a friend has suggested I spend slightly more and buy a bare cordless Dewalt saw and use my two 1.3Ah batteries from my drill. I don’t need a cordless saw, I’ll never be far from a plug socket. My drill doesn’t get a great deal of use (once a month maybe) so it would be good to get my monies worth from the batteries. That said when the batteries die that probably means a new drill and a new saw. A corded makita saw would probably last me a lifetime. Any other suggestions?

snoozee 98 Report post Posted July 12, 2020 a circular saw is good at doing straight cuts fast. but if you need to do curved cuts, a circular saw can't do it. alternative for you is to get a jigsaw which can do straight cuts (slower than circular saw) and also do curved cuts.

ilovetilt 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2021 Hi. I personally bought myself an Earthwise PS44008 saw a couple of years ago. I still use it today. I think this is one of the few truly durable saws. With the help of a convenient handle, the length of which can be adjusted, I took out everywhere and did everything I needed without any problems. I think this will be the best choice for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
