Pros

Extra features such as rafter hook, electronic brake and led work light make this saw an ultimate my go to saw. Makita is the quickest site to order tools from.

Probably a bit overkill for diy but very happy to have treated myself with this. I find it lightweight powerful. Easy to use and good battery runtime. Very lightweight and easy to use.

Cuts through wood effortlessly, ensures a great clean cut providing the blade is in good condition. Torque is good, it rips 2 thick graded timber well enough, and cross cuts excellently.

Competitiveness

Having read previous reviews and using a 240v circular saw for many years i decided to purchase this saw

Still it has loads more power than the older basic 18v unit

I only realised this when i put it next to my 110v dewalt saw

Have 110v and 36v saws also and theyre obvious choices for ripping compared
