DEWALTXTREME™ 12V MAX BRUSHLESS 5-3/8" CIRCULAR SAW (Tool Only) (DCS512B)

First let me say, I am a contractor; that is how I make my living. I work with cordless tools on a daily basis. Not just DeWalt Cordless tools either, we have Ryobi and Metabo tools on the trailer as well. So when I say this little saw lived up to my expectations, that statement is not made lightly.Is it super-powerful? NO! It is a trim saw, it is NOT designed to rip pressure treated 2x material. It didn't have a bit of trouble ripping 1/2" pressure treated plywood however, and all I have are 2.0 amp hour batteries for it at present. With a 5 amp battery, there is little doubt in my mind it will rip 2x material as well. But, it is not going to power through it like a 7 1/4" saw. Don't expect it to, you will only be disappointed.It's light, it's small, it's convenient to use, and it does a helluva job for what it is folks. It also seems to be pretty easy on the battery. The only downside I found in using this saw, was the little paddle style safety switch about the trigger. I'm sure some folks like it there, I'm simply not a fan of the location.

This is a lightweight, easy-to-use circular saw that an cut 1/2" plywood and simple 2x4s with ease. It will stop running if it think it's binding up, but you just start it back once you've got it free and it has enough torque to spin again. It's super light, and has a number of nice features including a stripping guide.

20V ones hard to beat for power and how long it lasts. But for ease of use and easier to carry, this thing rocks! Hit the buy it now button, thank me later.

Very practical tool

I like this saw. bought it for it's weight and ease of use. It fell off of the saw horses the other day with the shoe adjusted out for 1/2" plywood. I was surprised to find the shoe angle supports bent badly. Its VERY disappointing having a Dewalt tool built that poorly. Clearly the metal used has far less strength than it should have. I will bend it back as close to factory that I can but know that you must PROTECT this baby saw

I picked this up on a whim because there was a used one for very very cheap and I gotta say I'm impressed, it weighs nothing and with a 5ah battery it rips through 2x6 and plywood. It really shines when used above the head and for rafter work. Its only real downside is that because of the small blade you can't quite cut cleanly through 2x material at 45° but this would be fantastic for anyone who does trim, cabinets, or a lot of plywood work. As a small engine check 90% of what this gets used for in my shop is breaking down pallets but it definitely can handle more

The is little saw is great for small projects

Great. Does the job

I love this little saw so much. It’s a lightweight saw easy to use. I have mind on the Kreg accu cut & awesome on it

Gran producto de la marca Dewalt. Lijera, y buena gestión de bateria, dependiendo de la pila que le pongas, con una 3 amperes es más que suficiente para trabajos caseros y estar cortando buena parte del día.

Es muy práctica y cumple para tareas ligeras, quedé encantado con el producto, super recomendable

This saw is perfect for cutting siding. It’s super light weight and the size makes it very convenient to carry. I got a vinyl siding blade for it and it cuts great. Definitely worth the price.

Excelente,pensé que tendría poca potencia pero la e utilizado con batería de 5amper y corta bastante bien
