Goony Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi everyone, I want to purchase a Makita cordless circular saw. Now I have access to 2 different models for the same price. - DHS661Z, brushless, 6-1/2'', 18V - DHS710S, non brushless, 7-1/2'', 36V Which one do you guys think is the better choice? I'm a DIY guy, not a hardcore woodworker. No need to consider the price of the batteries, I already have a set. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolBane Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Personally I would do the brushless 6.5”. The 36V is going to be heavier, the brushes will cost you in efficiency, and it looks like it’s discontinued to boot...being an older model who knows if it’s even that much stronger than the the newer brushless 6.5”.

Eric - TIA Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Agree, I would go with the brushless. That's a great saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
