I've decided to spring for a rechargeable/cordless circular saw, maybe also
a sawzall.
Which among the Big Three is the best brand in the "reasonable" (lay
person) price range? Which one should I avoid? Is there another good
brand? My chief criterion is duration of battery charge (longer is better).
I have the dewalt recip saw. I also have a corded Milw. Sawzall, and
it is the cats meow for heavy work. It is the original, and still
the best. They sell a cheaper corded sawzall now, but this is the
one that is around $200 or $179 on sale around here. Stronger and
more long lasting than the ones that are $139 on sale.
I am quite happy with the dewalt fake sawzall. It is light, and I
find for most things I grab it and a battery or two and go. I had
the dewalt drill/driver with 2 batteries and a charger, so I am all
dewalt for cordless.
I bought a 12" tree trim blade and I use it mostly with the cordless
to cut small downed limbs and whatnot. Anything serious and I'd grab
the Stihl or the milw. Sawzall.
Any home despot/lowes has dewalt, so it is easy to find
service/accessories. Often on sale/kits etc. so all my battery
stuff is dewalt. Son has milw. cordless drill.
IMHO, I think Milwaukee in general, is the best, but you pay more.
For my occasional use, the dewalt consumer grade stuff is ok. I have
a Milw, corded hammerdrill, and it is what I grab for serious stuff.
No experience with makita, except the original 4" grinder, and that
is//was the cats meow for small grinders. (original and maybe still
the best, but most pros use dewalt now.)
