Bosch 1660K-24 24V 6-1/2" Circular Saw with (1) 2.4 A-h Battery  Product Reviews

"After buying the Bosch 24 volt package, I am now finding dust collecting on my matching corded tools. I have found the reciprocating saw does run down the batteries quicker than the other tools, but I do like the tooless blade changing lever on the reciprocating saw and the jig saw. All the tools are top-notch performers. I love the easy height blade adjustment on the circular saw. It fell 25 feet off a roof and worked just fine after. (lucky for me, this saw is built). I did find out from Bosch that the batteries should be charged when the tool starts slowing down, and should never be run down to nothing, like the old nickle -cadmium batteries that developed a memory. Bosch makes a great product here!"

"This saw works well for small jobs, but you do have to be careful that you do not bind the saw blade. It is not nearly as powerful as a corded saw."

"I have used every cordless saw avaible, and this one comes the closest to replacing it's corded counterpart. My wormdrive still looks new because I only get it out for BIG cutting jobs. I wish the thumb saftey was placed where it could be engaged without contorting my hand (like the Makita) but I bought it for power and precision, and Bosch delivers"

"I've had this saw for about 2 years now, and all I can say is WOW!!! I bought this and the drill in the combo pack because I thought the cordless feature would be nice. Little did I realize that I would rarely use my corded saw again. The run time is excellent. I figure you can cut about 100 feet or so of plywood on a single charge. The saw doesn't bog if your cutting thicker stock. I've cut stacks of 7/16" OSB 4 sheets high and the saw didn't bog once. In fact, I've cut into a concrete floor ( accidently ) with this saw and it didn't even stop, and the cut in the concrete was about 3/16" deep by 6" long. And with the blade on the left side makes it that much better. If you're looking at a good cordless saw that will take abuse and has plenty of juice, this is your saw."
