Customer Reviews for DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Cordless Brushless 7-1/4 in. Wormdrive Style Circular Saw and (2) FLEXVOLT 6.0Ah Batteries

Best saw, hands down!

This is the saw you've always needed. No hesitation when taking a full depth cut. This saw pays for itself quickly with the amount of time you save with the ease of cutting.

This is an upgrade from my normal 5ah and I’ve found that the 6ah flexvolt runs WAY longer than traditional 5amp. Used today with my drill and 1/2” bit 5 inches deep no problem. Had to drill 12 holes, battery still at 3 bars after all that. Very satisfied.

so awesome best cordless saw on the market today

Last a lot longer as expected, really makes a big difference in the workplace.

I pay for somthing new not in use and it say that is new

When I first bought this tool, everyone called me crazy. After they all tried it, everyone wants to use it. Its such a powerful tool and you cannot put a price on the freedom you have without the cord. I know they are many competitors out there, but it is definitely at the top and gets the job done! Great tool!

From the moment I depressed the ambidextrous safety and pulled the trigger, I realized that this saw means business.I have invested rather heavily in Dewalt 20 volt and 60 volt flexvolt line so in a way, this was a no-brainer. But even with that being said, I feel that this saw is superior to its competitors from the other brands. It's well balanced, durable, and oh so powerful.This saw has caused me to actively seek out new projects, it is a joy to use.Thank you for taking a moment to read my review and please feel free to post any questions or comments that you might have. Once again thank you so much!

This is the best designed tools that I have ever owned. Besides doing a great job of doing what it is supposed to do – cutting wood, the tool is designed in such a way as to minimize the work required by the operator. The saw is well balance so it doesn’t seem as heavy as it actually is; the adjustment for the depth is well marked and easy to change and is accurate so you don’t have to double check the measurement with a rule. The blade angle adjustment is also easy to make and is well marked. I also checked the indent for the 45 degree cut and it is right on, so there is no second guessing if you got the angle set properly. The saw has all of the power that my corded circular saw has and possibly more, and I don’t have to worry about cutting a power cord. I used the notch in the front of the sole plate to follow a line to see how straight it would cut. I usually have problems staying on track, but the design of the saw made it easier for me to see the line and follow it. It didn’t hurt that the saw has so much power it moves through the wood easily at a steady rate without hesitation. I have a corded circular saw and also an 18 volt battery powered saw and neither of them can hold a candle to this saw. I could go on, but suffice it to say that it is the best designed tool that I have ever owned. This saw is not inexpensive by any measure, but it is so good that it is an excellent value.

The DEWALT DWS535 7 1/4-Inch Worm Drive Circular Saw is my first foray into a cordless saw and also my first time owning a worm drive saw vs a direct drive saw. There really is a big difference. The DeWalt worm drive circular saw by far has more torque than any direct drive saw can offer. This means that I was able to cut hard wood and stacked wood with no problems. This is a quality saw and is truly heavy built. It is decidedly heavier than any of my direct drive saws, but the performance and durability of this saw makes it worth the effort to use over a direct drive saw. The battery power has been excellent, and I was able to complete a four-hour project with one battery charge. It may have gone longer, but my job was finished, and I made numerous cuts with it. I’m also impressed with the handy tool that allows you to hang the saw on a nearby 2x4 and not having to store it on the ground. Lastly, I like the storage bag that allows you to easily put the saw up and take it out. It also has space for extra saw blades or batteries. All-in-all, a great saw.

It's saving me a lot of time by not have to unroll electric cables. Take it to where the cut needs to be made and done. Move on with the next one. So far I'm loving it! However a 2nd battery will make the perfect saw!

it's nice to have long lasting battery for saws and impact tools plus i the isn't much heavier than 3 ah or 4 ah

This large, heavy battery fits a variety of Dewalt tools from 20-60 volts. Have tried it on my 20 volt drills as well as on my 60 volt saw and it works perfectly on all. Fast charge in about an hour. Keeps going a long time, exceeding the 20 volt batteries that came with the drills. Take one type of battery to the job site for use in all your Dewalt Flex tools. No more keeping up with extra batteries for each and every tool. This is a one size fits all that actually works as intended. Charger cooling fan is rather noisy.

I need an extra battery for my Dewalt 60V Cordless Circular Saw to have a backup when the original battery that came with the saw. One great feature is that being FLEXVOLT Battery pack it changes voltage when you change tools. To a 20 Volt Max tools. This FLEXVOLT battery powers the new line of 60-Volt Max Brushless tools and 120-Volt Max Brushless tools. This pack is also backwards compatible with 20-Volt Max tools and chargers. PLEASE NOTE that this requires a charger that can handle the 60V batteries. The 20V battery cannot handle the charging. Great battery.

At first I expected these new lithium-ion battery packs to be much more lightweight compared to the older 18V battery packs. These new packs are just as heavy, but they are more powerful and longer lasting, so that's the tradeoff. It's nice not having to worry about creating unwanted memory though, so charge away, preferably when the battery is depleted though, since there are a limited number of charges for each battery (the number of times you can charge should easily last for the life of the battery though, so don't worry if the battery isn't completely dead if that doesn't work best for you). The batteries have a push button that turns on LEDs (total of three) which indicate the power level left in each battery. A lot of the tools will now warn you when the battery level is getting too low, which is a nice improvement from the batteries/systems that we had to use before. Before, you had to wait for the tool to stop working. This battery is NOT bluetooth enabled, and I probably wouldn't consider it since using bluetooth will just kill the battery while you're trying to impress your co-workers. I really like the red protective shipping cap. It locks in place, which is perfect for when the batteries are not in use. The older 18V batteries had tiny red plastic caps that would easily be lost if used in any work environment. These new packs will hold up and appear to be very rugged. It's a good idea to have at least one spare battery so you can always keep one charging while you are using the other. If any tools require two batteries, then have two spares available with a dual charger to keep you going.

This 60 volt battery has me very excited to expand my cordless tool collection and will finally let cordless tools, especially saws, keep up with their corded counterparts. Anyone who has used DeWalt's cordless circular or reciprocating saws knows they pack a decent punch but they don't have much of a runtime. This battery tackles that in two different ways. There are extremely powerful 60 volt versions of these tools available but unfortunately I haven't had the funds to add any of those to my collection yet. However, this battery also works with newer 20 volt tools as well, and so far I've seen runtimes of 3-4 times as long from my circular and reciprocating saws compared to the 20v battery. These new batteries are bigger and heavier than the 20v battery but they're really similar in size to the older 18v batteries. For the additional runtime it's well worth the added bulk. They also charge from the standard 20v charger, so you don't need to spend extra money upgrading to a new one. I'd highly recommend picking up this battery whether you're looking to add more powerful tools or just make your 20v saws last long enough on a charge to be useful in larger projects.

This is a great battery sytem. It's powerful and lasts a long time before having to be re-charged. I love not having to drag a cord around with my battery operated circular saw. The downside is that the battery+charger is expensive. The good news is that once you buy the battery and charger the other Dewalt Flex volt tools are compatible and are value priced. If you use or need a circular saw, reciprocating saw or table saw, etc. this is a great system to go with because of the powerful battery system. I hope you find this helpful.

Right price, prompt delivery. Really like the flex volt feature. With an adapter I use it to power my older Dewalt cordless tools, eliminating the need to keep buying the older style batteries.

Good product but returning because the wacker and blower are too heavy for me personally but dewalt is a great powerful product

I bought this battery about 4 or 5 months ago. It will no longer charge. I called Dewalt, they said they won’t replace the battery but gave me a number to call, it was disconnected. I called Dewalt back, they gave me another number to a repair center. Called repair center, they said they don’t repair or replace batteries. I called dewalt a third time, they said that’s all they can do. Now I’m out the nearly 200 dollars I spent less than 6 months ago on the battery with no warranty from Dewalt.

Great product but, the bag that comes with it is actually a little small for the saw, battery and charger.

Good but too expensive

Perfect lightweight. I love it. I use every day because I am a carpenter

It charged up quickly but I won't be using it for a while
