THAT is interesting. For me, on this item, money is an object, but it's not, if that makes any sense: I went into this looking to get this project knocked out cheaply, but I've realized I need a grownup saw and I'm willing to pay for a higher-end cordless if that's my answer. If the answer is...

First thing that really caught my eye was the Porter-Cable PC15TCSM, has a magensium shoe and goes for around $100 retail. Reviews just raving, especially comments about how it doesn't deflect/deform from square like other lower-cost saws...

There's 12V Milwaukee Fuel? I'm gonna go look at this right now, just for kicks if anything else. EDIT: Ohhhh, it's a 5 1/2". Heck of a 5 1/2", though.

No, it's not, although from what I saw of the Makita and Milwaukee in stress tests, I would never get there in a single day. I think I am coming around to the point of view that it is time to buy a 7 1/4" corded circular saw. Looking quickly at the box stores, I see a 13-amp no-frills Ryobi for...

OH, TO GET THROUGH 150 LINEAR FEET. :bowdown: I'm not saying "no" to corded, but it's nice to know the girlfriend isn't about to trip over my extension cord. Plus, there are other tools I commonly use further from power sources and it'd be great to get them all cordless and on one platform...

On the Ryobi, that's the impression I got, too. The 5 1/2" was junk, and maybe cheap 5 1/2" saws just are by their nature: tiny blade to overheat quickly, tiny motor, etc. I can't help but think a 6 1/2" will be an upgrade no matter what brand I buy. The 6 1/2" came out very recently, and one of...

Definitely, I've seen a lot of positive discussion about the One+ line as a "homeowner-grade" alternative, and even on some job sites. On the other hand, I've also seen some "except the circular saw" comments (likely in reference to the 5 1/2", not the new 6 1/2"). The battery info is good...

Hi there, First time poster, I've been doing my homework and this seems like the best forum going, so I thought I'd join and seek some advice. I got stuck with a B&D 5 1/2" cordless circular saw for putting up new 1/2" plywood sheathing on a shed this weekend, and finally lost my temper at it...
