It’s a bit sizable at 12.5 inches long and it weighs 10.1 pounds. But it’s tough for worksite use and the balance is outstanding. The bigger size also allows for a better grip if you have large hands or if you’re wearing gloves. The hand grips are ergonomic too.

You also have a better view of the blade and the measurement scale because you have a bigger space between the housing and the blade. It also helps to see what you’re doing because the ducting is designed to blow away the dust from the cutting line. It even has 2 LED lights.

The blade itself is superb. The carbide tips were designed to specifically work in the most challenging conditions, so you can use this even when the wood you’re working on has been embedded with nails.

The blade has also been treated with a special coat to minimize the heat build-up, and the vents help with this too. There’s also a blade wrench on the circular saw so you can change blades more easily.

It comes with a brown plastic case so it’s easy to bring along with you to the work site. This comes with a 1-year warranty.

It also comes with a 56-degree bevel capacity. At 90 degrees it can cut to a depth of 2 and 7/16 inches, while at 45 degrees the capacity is at 1 and ⅞ inches.

It really helps that the sight line is excellent if you’re right-handed, as the blade is on the left. It also comes with an anti-snag lower guard, so you can make your cuts more easily. You can make your bevel cuts even without having to advance the guard.

While it’s a bit on the hefty side with its 15-inch length, but at least it only weighs 10 pounds. It’s annoying that there isn’t a case along with the power tool, but once you find a bag for it then it won’t be too heavy when you bring it along.

It’s easy to handle, especially with the soft-grip handle. There’s also wrench storage on the tool for easier blade changes. It features a tool-free spindle lock too.

So aside from the confounding lack of a carrying case, this is quite practical to use. It offers the power you need to make quicker cuts more easily. Yet despite the power it’s not too heavy, so you can use it for a long while.

The maximum rpm is at 5300. It can cut up to 2 and ⅜ inches at 90 degrees. The maximum bevel capacity is at 53 degrees, with stops at 45 and 0 degrees. You can use this for engineered and hard woods, and for applications such as siding, decking, and framing.

With the new anti-snag lower guard, it won’t snag when you’re cutting thin materials. When you’re not using it, this guard protects the blade.

It’s designed for heavy duty use all day long. The housing is made from rugged magnesium, which is sturdy while it helps keep the motor run cool.

And you shouldn’t have any problem using this all day, since the balance is nice and the handle grip is ergonomic and soft. With all these features, it’s not surprising that it has received a ton of rave reviews online.

First of all, this model is quite tough. It can work all day long with no hiccup, and you can cut your materials smoothly and easily. Many owners who have submitted customer reviews have mentioned that even after an extended period of time, it still works like new. 

You can also confirm the manufacturer’s confidence in the durability of this circular saw in the amazingly long 5-year warranty. Then there’s the capacity. You get enough power at 5800 rpm, and the bevel capacity is at 50 degrees. 

It’s very easy to change blades due to the one-touch spindle lock button, and the clear line of sight helps you see what you’re cutting. It’s also very painless to use too. The trigger is very responsive, so you don’t have to work hard just to keep the power to the trigger.

The handle doesn’t just come with a soft grip. It has an exclusive feature that allows you to tilt the handle into any of the 8 possible positions before you lock it in place. It weighs just 10.4 pounds, and it comes with its own carrying case so you won’t have a problem bringing it to a worksite.
