*Works great **MyBest.Tools** on small lumber and much lighter than large circular saws.*

*Probably one of my most used **MyBest.Tools** cordless tools. Plenty of power when used with the 5.0Am Lithium Ion Batteries. Awesome cordless circular saw. Would highly recommend!*

I personally am a light duty DIY home use kind of guy, I use skil 12v and honestly they're great for that. I understand that if I'm doing serious work I need something bigger but for my needs skil is great. I got the drill and impact as well and I have no problems with them. for the money, its hard to beat the skil with the diablo blade. Comparable performance at 60% of the price.

I've been waiting for this review. I'm still using an ancient corded green black and decker 7 & 1/4. Due to battery life and lockup I've seen on other battery powered circ saws. As always great video and good to leave a real world working option for viewers to see. Thanks for all the hard work.

Thanks for the video, brother. I do own both the Skil PWRCore 12 and the Makita subcompact, and I'm pretty happy with both of'm, though my Skil would be my go-to on smaller tasks.

Like you said-good enough for back up/home use only. Just demo’d a floor in an apartment-had to use cord power-the battery circular and reciprocating saws I have couldn’t get the job done.Great review,your comparison values were spit on.✌️

Just for fun I got the Ryobi brushed 5-1/2" 18v circular saw for $15.00 from DTO during a sale back in May. Wasn't expecting much, but dang, it's my go-to circular saw for most things nowadays. Cuts great if you don't try and overdo it. I have a 7-1/4" Ridgid Octane and a corded Skill saw but still reach for the little Ryobi far more. And with the stock blade I cut up my whole hot tub, all the wood on the outside, all the pvc and hoses on the inside, the plywood and 2x4" platform underneath and the shell (after first using my reciprocating saw to cut it into big pieces). It handled everything I through at it. I made hundreds of cuts and the blade is still cutting great. Has not bogged down once on me, accept when I would get it jammed in a funky contour of the hot tub shell, user error. It's not built as well as these little 12V saws, but for $15.00 it was a steal.

Thanks for the great video. Looking at the elapsed times for the skil with the diablo blade its right there with the other two in terms of cutting speed

Nice review. Just got the Milwaukee version and was interested on how it stacked up with its competitors

Great review Marius, loved it, hopefully more like this to come😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

Love my little m12 saw does most of what I need around the house and very compact. You’ll love it!

Been running the 12v Dewalt for over a year now. Has goo power for every day tasks I perform as a maintenance man. Times out now and again on some more demanding stuff, but overall, I’m happy with it. Use 5 a h battery.

I have the skil and that little thing is awesome they sell a 30 tooth Bauer Blade at Harbor Freight for like 5-6 bucks that cuts really smooth and clean.

Great video bro!! Thanks for comparison.

That was a great showing. Do you know about how the Craftsman 20 volt compares?

Awesome review as always, keep up the great work.

Great review I was waiting to see which 12 volt circular had the most power.

Looks like the 12v have their place in certain tools , otherwise only light use. Great video, always enjoy your detailed tests.

Chervon has been having issues with tools cutting out a little too early, but it’s disappointing to see Milwaukee do the same. And Thank you for comparing the size and weight with the Makita because I did the same when I had the Milwaukee and I felt like Makita did a better job at keeping it compact and lightweight.

Hey sorry to bother you. What’s the part number for diablo blade?

Great review, exactly the comparison I was looking for. For me, weight is a major factor as my wrists and hands are feeling it more than ever. Have used the Dewalt 12 for a long time and works great for cross cutting but struggles with the big stuff. I have the rear handle Metabo for big stuff but need something in between for everything else. I like the specs on the Skil 12 but I'm going to look at a lighter weight 6 1/2. A new Bosch 6 1/2 weighs in at 6.1 lbs.

Great video. Thank you!

Hi thx for this video on thses 12v saws.I have the skil and with the 2.0 battery it locks up a lot on 1/2 plywood....i only got it cuse of the ocassional use i wanted the M12 but was to much....Keep the videos coming...

Excellent comparison! You beat me to it, I'll be putting my spin on it soon For just a few ounces more, the Makita XSH03 is my favorite saw for everything except hardwoods or the heaviest tasks. Basically it's the XSH04 except with more metal and less plastic (e.g. on the blade guard). CPO Outlets reconditioned is a good source for the XSH04 as well.

Hey Jim! I love to see you fellas support each other! That’s what it should be all about! Hope you’re doing well? Stay safe and Healthy! Best! 👍✌🏻😁🙏🔨

All great for up on a roof or working outside. But no dust extraction except DeWalt. My tiny little 12V Bosch mini circular saw cuts just 25.4mm - 1" but the dust extraction works remarkably well - so good for MDF and hardboard indoors (with a mask and open windows and separate vacuum to clear up dust that escapes the little port. It is amazing how many cuts are less than 25.4mm so I and my daughter use it all the time - far more than I expected when I got it.

I'm sticking with my Dewalt 20v saws. I have a couple Dewalt 12v tools that are fine and some Mil. M12 tools I like, but not using 12 volt for heavy duty things like circ saw or grinder.

I have the 12v Skil and the subcompact Makita also. I haven’t picked up the Skil once since I’ve bought the Makita. The Makita is so smooth and powerful that I look for things to cut.

If anyone would ever read the manual you'd learn that it states in the Milwaukee's case it can use both 5 3/8" and 5 1/2" blades. Says so right in the manual, I prefer to have the extra 1/8" lol.... cutting depth of course 😉

Thanks for the video. I have a lot of M12 tools and was wondering about the M12 circular saw, but I just noticed that it doesn’t have a dust extractor port. I have so much sawdust from even small projects that I’ve decided I need that. The 12v Skil was tempting me at $99 with a battery but seeing the low power I am probably going to say nope. Currently thinking about the Kobalt for $149 - I have one other Kobalt tool and their batteries are really cheap.

Hey yo Marius! Been out of the running for awhile, recovering from bad case of Covid, including Hospitalization! Thank GOD I made it, thanks to great Healthcare workers! Great video. Your prowess with a circular saw is impressive. However, I think you were pushing them a little fast. I get it, it’s a test, but in reality they should do better. I’m real disappointed in the DeWalt, and I own and use DeWalt. Milwaukee is hands down a better saw. Look how it did with just the 2.0 Ah battery! Skil,, meh I concur completely on the choice of saw. These 12 volt saws are just ‘trim saws,’ and if used as intended, do alright. I will say the 5.0 Ah DeWalt 12 volt battery is a winner. I use it on my 12 Volt Xtreme drill, and it runs great! It’s going to be real interesting to see how DeWalt’s “PowerStack” batteries do, and where they will take it in power and runtimes!? Hope you and yours are well. Stay safe and Healthy! Best! 👍👍👍👍✌🏻😁🙏🔨

Can that Milwaukee m12 saw be used as metal saw??

Can’t wait for tonight!

Just in time for when I need a circular saw

metabo hpt /hikoki 6 1/2 is not bad either, basically a copy of the black makita, but with 2 speeds and on/off for the light. it's a fine saw paired with the multi volt battery, that not many ppl have here in the states. They also come in 36v in Japan and rival the smaller makita 40v xgt line that are emerging right now.

Awesome job man.you help me making up my mind.thank you black n yellow.just like your wife says!..God bless

Milwaukee m12 for the win. Thanks for the video.

Need the high output batteries for the milwaukee. 5ah

Why did you stop the timer when the Milwaukee with the Diablo blade locked up but not when the Skil saw locked up? seems unfair

M12 circular saw with the high output batteries to see how better it is?

I like the diablo blades , put them on all my saws .

I never would have thought the Milwaukee would outperform the DeWalt, being how the DeWalt is newer.

Heard they upgraded the motor on the Milwaukee, my friend has a older saw 6 years old and it would stall out 5 or 6 times on that same material he cut, Dewalt does the same thing they did it with their 61/2 brushed saw the original had 3700rpm the newer has 5125rpm and is more powerful

Try a milwaukee high 12v high output battery on the milwaukee saw and it cuts like butter

The timing isn't fair. Compare when the clock is stopped and restarted for the milwaukee with diablo blade (6:42) vs skil 2nd run (7:49 - didn't even bother stopping the clock at all).

It really appears like you are sometimes binding the blade at the end of those rip cuts. Using A straightedge would have provided a more equal test. Obviously the 18 volt saw overcame the binding anyway.

Ripping a 1&5/8 board with a 100 dollar skill saw kit.... impressive.

Thanks for the video. I've wanted to see the m12 against the new Dewalt. I have m12 tools and was curious how Milwaukees 10 year old saw would hold up against Dewalts brand new one. Looks like it did pretty decent. Most of the reviews I've watched give me the impression that the Dewalt was a decent amount better. Even with a 6ah and new diablo blade its pretty easy to get the m12 to stall unless you go slow and keep the saw perfectly parallel to the cut. At least thats my experience. Videos of the Dewalt with the 5ah battery make it seem like you almost can't get it to stall.

With all due respect I think you're twisting the saw a little at the end of the cut making them lock up. Seems odd they would all lock up just at the end.

Skil only offers certain tools in the 12v line, that’s the only reason I’d buy the circular saw. It cuts And cuts straight, that’s all that matters. Plus it’s reasonably priced.

18 volt minimum is a good policy. There is very little benefit to having a lighter or smaller tool if I can not keep up

DeWalt 12v circular saw is way stronger than that M12 circular saw especially if you using it everyday to cut plywood

Milwaukee for the win!

Dewalt for the win sounded like it had the most power, the stock blade on the dewalt has 16 teeth you have to go with 24 teeth or more
