this is without doubt the best circular saw I have ever owned, I would highly recommend it!

Great review, went out and bought one on sale. Love it.Love your reviews you get right to the point with out excessive explanations.

I have the 18V XRP 6-1/2" Circular saw, between it and the reciprocating saw they really drain batteries. I've slowly been migrating to the 20V line of tools and bought adapters to use the 20V batteries on my 18V tools since all my 18V stuff still works. The 20V tools will outrun the 18V stuff, I have to charge batteries with my 18V tools during the day, the 20V stuff just keeps going. I had used the 1/4" Impact Driver for several projects around the house & vehicles and was surprised how long the battery lasted, and it was running on the 2Ah battery. Seems Dewalt is really opening up a lot of possiblities with these new 20V/Flexvolt tools. I'm not a pro by any means just a DIYer, and I've been looking at the flexvolt stuff to replace a few of those cumbersome corded tools as well. I got to use the regular 7-1/4" flexvolt circular saw and it does great, tons of power that the 6-1/2" and 7-1/4" 20V saws lack...they do fine but they don't have quite as much power as the flexvolt.

Thank u for your input about this saw .just made the switch to 20 volt will now seek 1 of these out for my dewalt kit thanks

Picked one up at Lowe's today as a bare tool and it has a rafter hook.

can you do a comparison between the xr 20v circular saw and the flexvolt circular saw

Great saw , they have good view down left side of the blade and are well balanced.

Hi Rob, I know this is a older video. DeWalt has added a rafter hook to this model. Also the RPM for this model is 5500. Now i hope DeWalt can make a brushless 20v 7 1/4 left side blade like skil sidewinder 7 1/4 (corded version). That will be cool. I use the dewalt 6 - 1/2 20v bushed version for smaller projects and it's great. DeWalt should make this model brushless, rafter hooked and led light already like other brands. Just wanted to share some input

i just bought one. While it's missing that crazy power of AC saws, these are finally good enough that you'll never dick around getting your AC saw set up ever again. I do miss an unbraked blade though...it's just more fun revving up a blade even if its way less safe

I can't wait to see it here New Zealand

thanks for the videos. keep em' coming.

The flexvolt is still quite a bit more powerful but this saw will get the job done as will the 61/2 saw brushed version

Would love to see this vs m18 fuel. I want a 1 battery 7 1/4 saw but am stuck between those two but being lèft handed i am thinking dewalt might be a bit awkward with off set grip

Can confirm, this is a beast of a saw.

I just got one as well and it’s does have a crater hook and it’s at 159 at hd

Are they issuing this with the rafter hook update as yet? As in have they sorted through the initial release?

Rafter hook present in 6/2018 dcs570b version

I wanna see the XR against the new fuel. Since they are both 18v. Just curious.

I just bought this saw from HD and it must be an updated version because it has a rafter hook on it.

Great video! does anybody know if dust adapter can fit on this modelo (DEWALT DWE575DC) Thanks in advance!

I am trying to decide on this saw or the brushed version. I don't use a saw all day anymore so I can probably get by with the brushed version, but I hate limiting myself. Does anyone know how much longer lasting or better the brushless saw is over the brushed version? The brushed saw is a lot cheaper.

Does anybody know if this model has the dust blower as other models?

Thanks for the informative review. I will add this saw to the DeWalt arsenal. #sawr

I think it is a great saw

With dewalt saws you dont need a rafter hook if youre actually working in the rafters. Flip it upside down and the apace between the primary handle and blade guard is a perfect fit for 2×

Snagged one from a Craig's list seller, was basically used to build his basment and acts and feels like it hasn't even broken in yet. The saw cost me 110.00 used with no battery but mine has a hanging hook, I guess I hsve the latest version in this XR series

Great video! I love all of your tool reviews. They really help to make an informed decision on our purchases. Not that it matters too much since the product is currently out of stock, but your amazon link for the product is broken... It looks like you have surrounding the ASIN

I have this saw and I like better than flexvolt, I don't understand why Dewalt is coming now with this saw, but. the good thing is that you can use the 20v batteries.

Just got mine and It does have a rafter hook. And I bought the "tool only" model.

Not a pro but, the 7 and qtr seems to carry alot more momentum through the cut. I have both 6.5 and 71/4 and prefer the latter.

Why didn't they give a removable rafter hook option? kind of like the handle on a hammer drill. maybe even clip over or to the side of the trigger bar, or above the motor housing. They could have sold it as an optional accessory to keep initial cost down. I'm still getting this, but Ryobi's BL version is clawing at my pockets.

why the heck doesnt dewalt come out with a left blade brushless saw?

@TheDirtyBirchTrails

5 жыл бұрын

If you are right handed, this is the right handed version. The model with the blade on the other side is actually a left hand model. They build this way so no material blows in your direction. You are supposed to be looking at the ruler guide on the saw and not the blade when cutting. The guides come from the factory in perfect alignment. If you have to look at the blade to follow your line when cutting, something is bent on the saw. My brother dropped his and broke a rivet. He used a screw to replace the busted rivet and that put his saw almost 1/8" out on the guide lines.

I just bought one from home depot and has a rafter hook but I prefer to put my saw down or on a table just don't trust rafter hook

It will last even longer and be more powerful with the 8amp Xr battery.

anybody have a link 2 the correct dust port attachment 4 this preferably a person that already owns the saw and knows lol

looks like the flex volt saw

If you are a DYI guy and looking to upgrade you old 18v 4-1/2" dewalt circular saw, to a more capable saw do you go with the DCS570 7-1/2"or DCS391 6-1/2" and save $70...need help. Is it worth the extra for the brushless even if not a everyday professional?

Monarch15w Yes bud, the extra capacity is often just enough to get cuts that the 6 1/2 won't. (Especially bevel). You'll never regret having the bigger saw. I personally have a 6.5 and a 7.25 Milwaukee fuel and I never reach for the 6.5 on framing jobs. (Plus the Milwaukee's have rafter hooks ;) )

I am kind of sensing a PollyAnna tool review especially of late. Everything is great, everything is wonderful. In a comparison something has to be better. This is what a potential buyer needs not a love affair with every tool as I know through experience that most tools leave a lot to be desired. Your older reviews seemed more real world and useful when considering a purchase. I might watch a couple of more to see if it changes but I think I will drop the subscription. I feel that these are reviews of free tools given to you to influence a glowing review. Good for you to collect tools bad for those of us that want real information on tools we haven't used. Take care. Doug
