 Tried them all August 19, 2010
Tori Cox-Lindo (New York, New York USA)
My husband is a contractor & has tried every tool/brand on the market he is very happy with Makita & will be sticking with them.
 A very good deal for the price August 4, 2010
Dejure
This thing won't replace my worm drive on a permanent basis, but because it's so handy, it will get used a lot for those times I only need to make a few cuts.
It was certainly nice to add to my cordless collection without paying that not insignificant extra amount it would normally cost for a unit with a battery.
The only thing I really don't like about it is the location of the lock for setting the depth of cut. However, I usually only set the depth of cut once per use, so it isn't a deal breaker.
The blade mine came with rough cuts fine, but you'll need to buy another blade, if you want cuts with no or minimal splinters.
Very nice July 26, 2010
Stephen B. Smith
I've used this a dozen times, and am extremely happy. Light and powerful. You'll need the larger battery size, and it just keeps on producing power, after 50+ cuts...
awesome July 15, 2010
eileen labrie (lehigh acres, florida, US)
I love it!!!! It is an awesome little saw compact enough for ease of use yet powerful enough to get the job done.
30 AMp Battery July 13, 2010
C. Gaige (Denver, CO)
I bought the MAKITA 18V Lithium Drill and was very impressed with it. Thinking I could use the same batteries for another tool, I purchased this circular saw. Only after getting it did I realize the battery won't work. The Drill Battery is only 15 Amp. So I had to buy a new battery anyway. The charger that came with the drill works for the 30 Amp battery, but there is also a faster charger that I think works only for the 30 Amp. So far I've only used the saw once, and it worked great. I had to trim a little off a door. The saw - even with a 30 Amp battery is lighter than my corded Circ Saw, and is easy to handle. It seemed pretty easy to keep a straight cut, and was able to easily cut all the way through the 1 1/4 inch door.
