Metabo HPT 36V Cordless 7-1/4" Rear Handle Circular Saw, 500 Cuts Per Charge, Lightweight at 8.2 Lbs

Buy it...its light and it feels good when you operate it. it won't break your bank its affordable. Best cordless saw there is.

I needed a battery powered circular saw for quick cuts and small projects around the house. I already had a track saw, so I didn’t need something accurate or specialized, just your basic circular saw. I’m glad I went for the Metabo, as it’s been brilliant. It’s lightweight and well built, with plenty of power and a decent OEM blade. The 36v battery is nice step up from Red or Ryobi’s 18v options, without being twice the price of Yellow or Blue options. While Metabo HPT is considered a “Pro Line” of tools, their offerings are a better value, even if limited selection. Cant wait to see what other 36v MultiVolt tools they release in the future.

This is a very durable saw, very easy to use. It cuts very accurately. Very comfortable to use. Is worth the money if you are a builder.

It's a really nice saw, and well built. The pros; its powerful, and really light weight, That's really nice when cutting 4x4 fence post or cutting up high. The sight lines are really nice, and is very comfortable in my hand. It has a nice rafter hook. And overall gets the job done. The depth is easy to set and easy to cut bevels. The Cons; it has a safety switch above the trigger handle. For me personally it's kind of a pain to reach for every time I want to make a cut. Also the saw dust shoots out of the side and not down like I'm used to. It has an adapter that if you put it on, the saw dust shoots directly at you. not a fan of that design. I'm sure you could put some kind of catch on it. But that would interfere with the sight line imo. Keep in mind it's not a true worm drive saw in the true sense. It's in the style of a worm drive saw (rear handle saw) I've been a west coast carpenter for over 30 years and was trained on the old skilsaw HD77 so that's the style I'm most comfortable with. Having said that. don't expect the power of a true worm drive saw. But up until this point, I've had no trouble making cross cuts, rip cuts, seat cuts or bevel cuts. I've put it through its paces and is more than serviceable. In a style of saw that I'm most comfortable with.

Absolutely love this saw.

This circular saw is meant for rougher cuts so it's very good for framing, concrete forms and ripping boards. It's fairly lighter compared to a similar saw from another brand I've tried and also more compact. It became my day-to-day saw fairly quickly since there is little resistance while cutting the wood/boards and you can get decent cuts for finer projects. For the price of it I can highly recommend it.

This is my new Daily Saw. It is light weight and cuts straight. I run aftermarket batteries with the 21700 cells. I can almost run all day on a single charge.

This saw is amazing! I've used numerous circular saws in my lifetime , but this one is very well balanced extremely powerful and the brake is a very nice added touch to help ensure safety! The price is excellent as well! I highly recommend this product line as well as other metabo power tools.
