Portable power

This is not the circular saw you need if you’re remodeling the basement or something similarly ambitious. It does not want you to blast though plywood and stuff for hours on end.

It is, however, exactly what you need for all manner of small cutting jobs around the house. It’s powerful enough for an awful lot of tasks and it’s cordless enough that you can deploy this little guy effortlessly when you need to.

Think about it.

You’ve got a couple of cuts to make on some minor project. Maybe you grabbed the wrong size board at the hardware store. (It happens.)

You could haul out a traditional corded circular saw, probably along with an extension cord that’s 20 feet longer than you need, then lug everything across the house. Or you can scoop your mini saw off of its charger and zap that board down to size about as easily as changing the channel with a TV remote.

it’s really great. This one is compatible with two blade sizes and if you need to do anything beyond a few quick cuts it’ll also happily run plugged in.

It sure beats clearing all the gardening junk off of your table saw.
