EnerTwist 20V Max 4-1/2" Cordless Circular Saw with 4.0Ah Lithium Battery and Charger, Includes Laser & Parallel Guide, Wood Plastic Soft-metal Multifunction Cutting Blades, Vacuum Adaptor, ET-CS-20C…

I have not received anything for this review. I am not affiliated with this company.I was very leery about purchasing this saw. It had 8 reviews. Saw is made in China. Not a good sign. There are no other reviews I was able to locate. But I needed a compact light weight saw that could cut 2X. This saw cuts at a depth of 1 11/16". I wanted a cordless circular saw for convenience. However, I have been wary of cordless circular saws since I purchased one in the early 2000's and it could not rip a 1/2" sheet of plywood. I wanted to buy the Makita but it is only 12V and cannot cut 2X. So I took a leap--hoping it was not jumping off a cliff.The saw was delivered on time.The saw appears well made and is very comfortable to use.The saw comes with only one battery. I emailed the company and asked about purchasing a second battery. They responded within less than 12 hours. New batteries are available at $39.99 including shipping from the company directly. They stated that within the month (so about October 2019) AMAZON will be selling additional batteries.I used the saw today for the first time. I did not use the blades that came with the saw. I used a Diablo 4 1/2" circular saw blade with 24 teeth. This saw cut through a 2x6 with ease. It cut through another 2x6 that was nail embedded like butter. I then cut through cedar shingles nailed to 1/2" plywood. This saw worked as easily as my Dewalt.https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWE575SB-Lightweight-Circular-Electric/dp/B007QUZ16A/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1Y1AHQ9SLFQAI&keywords=dewalt+lightweight+circular+saw&qid=1568941969&s=gateway&sprefix=dewalt+lightw%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1I must say I am flabbergasted. This little saw is astonishing. It is super lightweight. It cuts accurately along the laser line. However, the laser is a little hard to see in bright light. The cut is smooth (not Forrest glue line smooth but smooth for a Skill saw). The controls work like they should and are just like your regular Skill saw. It never bogged down. It is so light it feels like a toy, but it zips through wood like a regular 7 1/4" plug-in saw. Wow. Just Wow.If you need a small, light, powerful, cordless circular saw to cut 2x or less--this saw is your answer. I never write reviews but after using this saw and the paucity of reviews, I felt I had to. It is amazing.

I bought the Enertwist circular saw for making accurate cuts on 4 ft. by 8 ft. plywood panels as thin as 1/4 inch. On a test run the 24 tooth blade with the depth at 1/2 in. makes clean and accurate cuts without leaving a feathered edge which would happen with a regular saw. And I think it will be handier to use supporting the panel on foam insulation, rather than a jig saw with the up-and - down blade travel that you have to allow for in supporting the work. I wanted a bit more description in the use manual, like an exploded view of the drive shaft, and description of the battery and charger. The discharge nozzle came off several times -it is too loose a fit unless I clamp it with a hose clamp. Otherwise it is easy to use, well balanced and good safety features.

I wasn’t expecting so much from such a small circular saw but I’m very impressed at how well it’s performed. I installed engineered wood flooring in four rooms and was very handy for all the cuts. Even after a half day of use, the battery was still going strong even though it is only 2.0 AH. However it’s very difficult to get a straight, square cut. Not sure why, but it seems to track off line. The laser isn’t much help. So, great for cross cutting boards, but wouldn’t try it for ripping a sheet of plywood unless it was for framing or formwork.

The media could not be loaded. I'm in the process of framing out walls in my basement as the first step to finishing it. I got this saw because the current circular saw I have has a short cord and I don't have great access to outlets in my basement, so I figured a battery operated saw was the way to go. I have gotten a few products from this company in the past and have been happy with how they have been working so far so I figured I would give this one a try. I wasn't disappointed.One of the things I enjoy about products from EnerTwist is that they come with the battery but cost roughly the same as the name brand competitors without a battery. That is a big win in my book. Beyond that, the tools are solid. They feel as rugged as any of the other brand name tools I have used.If you are working with 2x4s this is the saw for you. Unlike my corded circular saw, it has enough power to get through with ease, without having so much kick that you are worried about a loose piece of wood flying back at you. Because it is lightweight it is easy to manipulate and I feel confident that I have good control over where it is cutting.It comes with three different types of blades: wood, metal and concrete/tile. I only used the wood so far, but it was certainly sharp enough to get through a 2x4. I plan to try the tile next when I get to the flooring phase of my project.Overall, very happy. Would recommend this to any DIYer.

Junk, battery died on 2nd use. No replacements to be found because of unique pin configuration. The saw itself has shaft flex making straight cuts difficult.

Cutting old bead board left in barn, my month old corded Bosch jig saw I planned to cut the curves could not get through the center lines, nor could my ten year old or more Black and Decker jigsaw, all with new blades for wood and metal. I decided to try my Ener, which had no problem cutting it, it never has a problem, and stays charged three days usually as much as I use it for everything from old fence board to wolmanized 2 by 6's stored under house for years. Its amazing on plywood too. The lazer is not as accurate but the saw itself is amazing and I'm so glad I took a chance on it.

So I bought this thinking it would be lightweight & easy to use. With the battery it’s heavy & cumbersome. A bit lengthier than I expected as well. I bought it to cut out wood floors & figured it would be handy in the future. Hey, I have found myself using hand saws around the house, so I thought this was a good solution. WRONG! I never used it. Opened box, saw how big it was and said hell nah. For an amateur weekend home warrior like me, this is intimidating. And heavy. I’d have to take tutoring lessons before I use it. Sent back.
