V28 6-1/2" Circular Saw Kit - 0730-22  Product Reviews

"Powerful. Balanced. The tool i use most now."

"I had purchased Milwaukee's V28 circular saw ten months ago. Like all the other V28 products I've bought, this one certainly is an outstanding product. However, don't expect it to be a replacement for your corded one. The power is quite impressive, but if you run though something a bit too thick, the saw does seem to bog down a little. It also uses quite a lot of juice because the batteries don't last as long as they do in other V28 products. It wouldn't be practical if you needed to use it constantly, since you'd need a lot of backup batteries. In addition, due to its 6-1/2" blade, bevel cuts are only good for thin wood. It's small, light weight, and very easy to handle. I currently use it for quick cuts where I don't want to haul out a cord, or don't have enough cord to reach remote areas. Twice we had a power failure at the jobsite, where this saw turned out to be an absolute life saver. It that role, it's the perfect saw. Now, I can't imagine not having it with me when I show up for work."

"This is an excellent outside job saw. The weight is perfectly balanced for me, allowing easy cutting in tight spaces or on the portable workbench. The stock blade is fine for general outdoor jobs. In the woodshop, it makes short work of 3/4" plywood. This is the perfect example of why it's so important to check Amazon daily: At $263 including shipping (the saw, the charger and two batteries) plus a free mail-in tool body certificate (I selected the hammer drill) how can you go wrong? Two 28v LiOn Milwaukee tools w/ charger and 2 batteries for $263!?!?!? How can Home Depot compete with that?"

"I have milwaukee's 18v version for two years and then this saw for about 7 months, it is the best cordless circ saw on the market right now, for both power and endurance. BUT: it is not a replacement for a corded saw as milwaukee advertises, it will do on 1 battery what the 18v's do on 2. IT's fit and finish are very good and the tool is about the same weight as the 18v. this is a good buy."
