Comments |
Flexible, competent, and easy to move from job to job when none of them are close together; this is a professional-level saw and will perform for anyone as well as it would for those who use it in their work. It is reliable, well-built and very good at what it does. Should it find a home in a tool kit, it will be there until it is handed down to the next generation. |
Only 13.63 inches long and 7.1 pounds is rather small for a tool like this; rubber grips are very comfortable, allow for long-term use; the dust blower and LED light work very well. Though not included, the LXT lithium-ion works like a champ and is very quick to recharge. Anyone who needs a good circular saw, from professional contractors to the homeowner, the Makita BSS610Z 18V lithium-ion cordless 6.5 inch circular saw is the perfect companion. |
The CCS180K 18V is light, small and will work side by side with anyone all day long; its ergonomics will fit a wide array of different sized users; motor is strong and is highly capable of taking on jobs large and small, long and short. The 18-volt FatPack battery is very strong and it does hold out very well; it is easy to stay on line thanks to the sturdy shoe and guide. A well made tool which might outlast any in its class. |
