Einhell Cordless Circular Saw TE-CS 18/150 Li-Solo

ve been using this saw for various jobs around the house and garage and it's been fantastic. It has plenty of power for cutting timber, sheet materials and worktops, while still being easy to handle. The tool-free adjustments are quick and convenient, and the LED light is surprisingly useful when working in darker areas. Being part of the Power X-Change range is a big bonus as I can use the same batteries across my tools. Excellent value and highly recommended.

Very light, cuts well, no cable getting in the way and is very quiet. Good for DIY, probably not for everyday professional use. It doesn't come with a battery, but I have other einhell tools so that doesn't matter.

When my mains circular saw needed replacing I had no hesitation in investigating the Einhell range as I have several of their garden tools - long reach hedge cutter is a particular favourite. Very pleased with the quality, ease of use is excellent and, for some reason, I seem to be more accurate at cutting with the new saw as well! The only reason I can see not to go cordless these days is if you are doing extremely heavy work but, even then, if you have multiple batteries it can usually be overcome. I buy the batteries when they are special offer so I don't need to buy the full kit when I need/want a new tool, just the "body". The only reason I can see not to use Einhell is that you are a professional tradesman so need a bit more oomph/robustness from DeWalt, Makita etc. or you have started a collection of battery tools form a different manufacturer. Highly recommended.

I now have several Einhell power tools, and I'm really happy with them. This saw cut through the 38mm solid oak worktop offcuts I was installing in my workshop without any problems whatsoever. I bought the tool without a battery, as I already have several in different sizes. If you need a battery, I'd suggest getting a 4AH, as the saw takes a lot of juice, and the 2AH doesn't last long. It takes the standard Einhell 'Power X-Change' batteries used by nearly all their other tools. It won't take any other batteries - Makita, Bosch or Stanley won't fit without an adapter. I chose the 150mm saw, as it's a little easier to wield than the 165. To be honest, there isn't much difference between the two - just the cutting depth, which is really only relevant if you are cutting on an angle. The thickest material I usually cut is 18mm MDF, so the 150mm is fine for my needs. The listing mentions the saw cuts at 90 degrees, but it does have a tilt function, and can cut up to a 45 degree angle. It comes with a basic guide fence, and has a channel in the bottom so it can follow a guide rail (not supplied). I was astonished how powerful this saw is. I used the blade that came with it, and made a few practice cuts first, assuming I'd need to make a few passes, increasing the depth each time. Nope. It will go straight through in one go, either ripping or crosscut. I haven't even tried a new blade yet - the supplied one cut very cleanly. This tool is probably the least 'Trade-quality' in my small collection. Nevertheless, it's serving me well so far, and for my occasional use fitting countertops and kitchen trim panels, and preparing the odd guitar blank, it's perfectly fine. It's safe, powerful enough to cut 38mm hardwood, and accurate. I find the depth adjustment feels a bit sketchy. It's stiff to move and not very precise. It feels like it needs a screw adjustment to set the depth more accurately. Maybe I'm just asking a bit much - I'm used to precision router tables that I can adjust to fractions of a millimeter, and this is more at home on a building site, cutting joists and wall studs (which it's great for, by the way). I also found that the index markings for setting the blade square to the baseplate are not very accurate. Be sure to check the blade is square before you cut - I ended up with a noticeable angle on my first cut. Something else I noticed - Circular saws are one of the very few tools that's awkward to use as a left-handed person. You have to hold it with your left hand at the front and your right on the handgrip / trigger like a Righty. If you stand the other side of it, you get blasted in the face by the sawdust, and you are reaching over the blade. Speaking of sawdust, you can fit dust extraction really easily. I slid a piece of silicone radiator hose over the outlet and connected my shop vacuum to it. Job done. You really need extraction unless you are outside, as it produces a huge amount of sawdust and ejects it at high velocity up the sleeve of your dustcoat. The price is reasonable. I got my saw in the sale, and at that price I was very happy. The time it has saved me was worth the price, and the quality of the job was far higher than I'd have managed without it.

I purchased this saw to replace the 1980’s saw I had from my grandfather over 20 years ago. A saw that would cut most anything, never straight, always kicked on pulling the trigger, but that is what I expected. So, I thought, for the bargain price why not upgrade to this saw, opened the box and thought I had bought a toy, small, lite, and battery powered. Setup was easy, I even treated myself to a 2m rail to guide this new tool. Made a test cut, silent start, no kick, no bucking bronco to manage, cut through 20mm ply like a Lazer, and cryptically, it was the best cut I had made in years. I am a keen DIYer, presently making three work benches, 2 at 2m and a third at 3m, this tool has made a massive difference to my progress and job finish. Highly recommend this tool, but word of warning, it is quite and effective, I have a new designer cut in my workmate, the saw never stuttered, take care setting depth and count your fingers. A great tool.

Another quality product by Einhell, cuts seamlessly and lightweight to use

Great tool used to to cut 70mm thick timber no problem 👍

Have used this several times now and looks like good value for money Great not to have to get a tool out when you want to adjust any thing

Ciao dovevo ristrutturare un pollaio fatto in legno e l'ho usata per due giorni trovandola molto maneggevole e funzionale prima l' avrei fatto con la motosega così molto meglio e ad un prezzo giusto

Excellent little saw, does exactly 💯 what I need, super happy

Ska bara användas till små projekt! Väldigt svag och stannar vid minsta sned vinkel/material som nyper Rekommenderas ej

A bit low on power and also no break when you finish your cut the blade keeps spinning for 5/6 seconds after you release the start trigger.can be annoying if you are doing multiple cuts. More a tool for DIY stuff at home.

Gayet güzel. Boyutuna gore iyi kesiyor, seri. Biraz ufak ama güçlü. Ev işlerinde ise yarıyor. Bıçağı da cok fazla tırtık bırakmıyor çam keserken.
