Cordless circular saw

[timmyprice255]

Ok so today at work I was the cut man, I was using a dewalt cordless circular saw because I was up on the roof, I was just running through battery's it seemed liked and i had to keep getting off and going to the trailer to get a charged one repeatedly through the day, any opinions on a better brand with a long battery life for a circular saw

Milwaukee Fuel 6 1/2" or 7 1/4" is your friend......I was ripping wet/fresh 2x4's length wise all day on less than 2 ....5.0 batteries......

I'm a big fan of the Makita brushless 6-1/2" saw. Really solid saw and I have never run into any issues eating through batteries.

Any brushless circ saw with a pair of 5.0s should keep you going. Brushed with 3.0...screw that. Could always run a cord to the roof. Save you getting back down, and the charge station would still be stationary, unlike running around w a corded saw.

Flex volt will be coming out soon and that should give you a lot better run time

Brushless is really a must when running any saw professionally, and especially as a carpenter. Pick your flavor, out of the contractor-grade brands - it's not the brand that'll make the difference.

Ditto everything about brushless and high capacity batteries.  The older cordless circular saws were pretty bad.

It will depend on what kind of wood you are cutting, but my Ryobi 6 1/2" was able to go half the day with a 4 mAh battery and the power level was still at half.

Runtime decreases wit each use of the blade I've found. I find myself changing out blades a lot quicker than i would with a corded model.

The 36v makita is a good option as well

Yea if your really looking for runtime the 2x18v makita is a strong contender or the Milwaukee fuel saws, I have the 6 1/2" and that thing is awesome, I've heard the 7 1/4" gets a little more run time but not sure how accurate that is, it is a newer saw.

today I cutted with Makita DSS601 circular saw with 3 Ah battery. I have fast charger so battery charging time is same as battery getting empty time  I think 2x18V Makita with 2 x 5 Ah will be great
