DeWalt 18v Cordless Circular Saw

2008-01-02
My husband was thrilled to finally have a DeWalt 18V XRP Cordless Circular Saw. He likes to cut wood outside, and this allows him to do so quickly and without an extension cord. I was very pleased with the price. The saw was shipped to us very quickly. He was quite happy on Christmas!

Wrong Shipping Weight

2007-08-13

Shipping Weight: 12 pounds (View shipping rates and policies)

This shipping weight is not correct, it should be 6 lbs. The problem is at checkout their charging you an exact $5.00+ for shipping ($7.99 + $1.00/lb}.

Amazon was contacted to correct the problem????

cordless saw

The saw works well for the projects I have in mind. I am not a professional just a do it your-self-er. I already have a Dewalt product with batteries that fit this saw and this being the motivation for purchasing it along with
the low price.

AWESOME Saw!

What a gem! Light weight, maneuverable, easy to use & a REAL BARGAIN! Can't figure out what all the problems other people are having with the safety button? I find it a breeze to use. I guess one should read the whole description on the item before buying it & you'll see in plain English TOOL ONLY! This unit is plenty tough enough to do jobsite duty. Just keep a spare battery charged up & you won't have any problems.

Great Saw...not so good trigger and safety switch placement

2008-05-06
Pros: I like this saw more than I thought; it has very good power, very smooth operation and goes a long way on one battery. The deck is quality aluminum and very easy to adjust. It is nicely balanced even though the battery is probably half of the weight.

Cons: The trigger and safety switch are too close together for large hands. Also with the trigger pulled there is a gap in the handle that digs into my finger; especially during long cuts or prolonged use...this is probably exaggerated because of the angle my finger is at on the trigger when flexing to release the safety switch with my thumb. It was annoying enough that I started wearing a glove when operating this saw for more than short cuts.

Overview: The quality of this saw makes up for the trigger issue I have with it. And as with all my Dewalt reviews, my 11 Dewalt tools (and growing) on one battery platform makes Dewalt 5 stars over all. I marked this saw down but that shouldn't discourage anyone from purchasing it.

Portable circular saw

This was cheaper than local hardware stores. Light and easy to use. My husband loves it for smaller jobs.

Great Saw but...

2008-03-07
I love the saw but it didn't include a blade. The Amazon description says "6-1/2" Carbide Tipped Blade for 2x Cutting Capacity at 90 and 45 Degrees". Also - It looks new, as advertised, but wasn't in a factory box; just a plastic bag in a off-the-shelf box. I'd still recommend it, just be sure to buy a blade.

Tolerable, but only if you already have a bunch of XRP tools

I work as a contractor, and have many different DeWalt XRP cordless tools. All of the others are excellent, but I ahve found this saw to be terribly balanced, with an awkward safety switch. Also, While it is OK for light framing use, the blade speed isn't hihg enough for any application that demands a clean cut. Overall, the tool is fairly handy, and I'm glad I glad i have it, since its a lot lighter than my Skilsaw, but this saw needs a serious redesign.
