I was always very skeptical of cordless circular saws until I bought the Bosch 18V - 6-1/2 model

I had low expectations, but after I made a 6' long rip - with a 45 degree angle in Douglas Fir. would not have believed it. Lithium Ion changes everything.

While I've had worm drive skilsaws for decades as well as a number of sidewinders, I rarely plug in a circular saw anymore.

The Bosch is light weight, portable and very well made. I picked-up a Milwaukee 7-1/4" 18V saw when it was on sale for a stupid crazy low price last year and have honestly never used it yet. I like the little Bosch so much I bought a second one (bare tool) so I could have one in the house and one in the garage.

- Nice deal but I don't think I'd want cordless for that. - Pablo 2018-02-14 12:19:51 (261 views)
  - That deserves a little more qualification. IME they have enough power, longevity is another - RKA 2018-02-14 13:49:13 (252 views)

        That's understandable, but all these duplicate tools create another challenge...  -  RKA  2018-02-15 14:52:14 (314 views)

    - Yep - Power isn't much of an issue and with the dual battery set-up, it is no issue at all - gription 2018-02-14 14:38:10 (229 views)
      - agree with all that. - Pablo 2018-02-16 14:22:42 (178 views)

  - For sure - if I even needed one remotely, I would do it. - gription 2018-02-13 18:14:40 (273 views)
    - Exactly! Really good deal. Trying to come up with a reason to get it... - schlepper 2018-02-13 20:20:36 (219 views)
