Metabo HPT 36V Cordless 7-1/4" Rear Handle Circular Saw, 500 Cuts Per Charge, Lightweight at 8.2 Lbs

No more dragging around the noisy old generator or the heavy old Skill Saws.This saw is an awesome tool, light weight and powerful. Somehow it feels just as strong as a corded saw. Something about the higher DC voltage motor giving it much more torque than the 18 volt counterparts.Id love to try out the 10 inch miter saw, I already own two corded models and they have become m tool of choice.This saw will share batteries with my Metabo rebar cutter bender and will last for days at a time.I would recommend this saw to anyone looking to cut the cord and go battery.Thanks for a great saw.

I needed a battery powered circular saw for quick cuts and small projects around the house. I already had a track saw, so I didn’t need something accurate or specialized, just your basic circular saw.I’m glad I went for the Metabo, as it’s been brilliant. It’s lightweight and well built, with plenty of power and a decent OEM blade. The 36v battery is nice step up from Red or Ryobi’s 18v options, without being twice the price of Yellow or Blue options.While Metabo HPT is considered a “Pro Line” of tools, their offerings are a better value, even if limited selection. Cant wait to see what other 36v MultiVolt tools they release in the future.

saw cuts great , nicely made, love it

It's a really nice saw, and well built. The pros; its powerful, and really light weight, That's really nice when cutting 4x4 fence post or cutting up high. The sight lines are really nice, and is very comfortable in my hand. It has a nice rafter hook. And overall gets the job done. The depth is easy to set and easy to cut bevels. The Cons; it has a safety switch above the trigger handle. For me personally it's kind of a pain to reach for every time I want to make a cut. Also the saw dust shoots out of the side and not down like I'm used to. It has an adapter that if you put it on, the saw dust shoots directly at you. not a fan of that design. I'm sure you could put some kind of catch on it. But that would interfere with the sight line imo. Keep in mind it's not a true worm drive saw in the true sense. It's in the style of a worm drive saw (rear handle saw) I've been a west coast carpenter for over 30 years and was trained on the old skilsaw HD77 so that's the style I'm most comfortable with. Having said that. don't expect the power of a true worm drive saw. But up until this point, I've had no trouble making cross cuts, rip cuts, seat cuts or bevel cuts. I've put it through its paces and is more than serviceable. In a style of saw that I'm most comfortable with.

My favorite framing duo. Nothing but great things to say about this saw! Light weight, great sight lines when cutting, clean adjustability with blade hight and beveling. And cordless too! The framing gun is great too!

Im a custom home framer was skeptical being a batter powered saw if it could handle 2x12’s and lvl beams but works great battery does well

been framing w it here in oregon on the roof in the snow so far so good it lighter than makitas too..

Awesome saw great Quality best price for wood working
