Rated 4 out of 5 by AsianProdigy from Professional Carpenter. Got this saw as I have a lot of the V20 line up and multiple 4/5ah batteries. This saw came with a free Fast Charger 4ah battery deal so that was nice. So far I used it non stop for 2x12 boards with no problem. Lasted about 2-3 hours on a 4ah battery beveling 27* cuts. Only complaint is a little higher RPMs would be nice but I know it's a single battery application and having the ability for a rafter hanger on it when I'm in trusses or on the roof. Other than that a really nice saw for its price compared to my wired Makita. Just make sure you buy a good blade for it. The blade it comes with is a cheap and thick blade. 1/4 inch blade compared to 1/8.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt from Great Saw! I bought this to replace my old corded Makita that finally died building a deck. I have some of the V20 outdoor yard tools so since I had the Craftsman batteries I got this instead of getting into the Makita battery line too. I admit to being hesitant getting a Craftsman saw since my Makita was like a trusted friend for years. I've always had Craftsman yard tools but not saws.I have to say though you literally couldn't tell the difference going from a corded circular saw to this. This feels every bit as powerful and well built. Nice measurements stamped into the shoe also. Very impressed. I used this with the 4ah battery instead of the 2ah which I also have. I recommend it if you're in the V20 line and need a great saw!

Rated 5 out of 5 by John from My first circular saw but not my first saw. This saw will do it's job if you do yours. I bought this along with the two-pack of 4mAh batteries which are interchangeable with any other Craftsman V20 tool. Charged them up expecting a saw to chew through the wood and the battery but didn't need to change them out. I guess I have an extra battery now. That's always a good thing. As for the saw itself, it's surprisingly light at just over 7 pounds but very powerful which means it can get away from you if you don't respect it. From the moment you turn it on, you can feel the torque going to the blade. I also upgraded the blade to the 60 tooth craftsman offering since I knew I was going to be cutting plywood and I'm glad I did; the cut was smooth, easy to make, and made me glad to own the saw. You can tell a lot by the first cut and this one told me I'm a Craftsman guy now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Justone from Craftsman Quality This new 7 1/4" saw is a total beast. It has an Led light, magnetic wrench holder, and is built like a tank. Every aspect of this saw was over built and on par with "pro" versions. I was surprised with the quality of every aspect of this new saw. I hope Craftsman continues this route on future tools because they knocked this out of the park and into orbit. I'm excited for the future of Craftsman.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dan from Glad its here [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy craftsman released this brushless saw, the old unit 6" is underpowered and not up to task on some jobs. This new unit is a beast! I have almost every v20 tool, happy with the line thus far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff from Great saw This is a great saw. It has all the power I need. I made a YouTube review of this saw, and in it I forgot to mention it has a light built in. I would readily recommend this saw. I’d recommend pairing it with a higher amp hour battery at least 4 but 6 would be better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Geoff from Wow This thing is a beast. Love the saw brake and overall quality of this saw. Craftsman is doing such a great job with the 20V lineup. This thing is so smooth and feels great cutting!

Rated 4 out of 5 by shopperD from Good features with 1 exception I bought this saw because a recent price drop coincided with the demise of my 43 year old Craftsman circular saw. I didn't have time to read reviews, but I found the saw to be ergonomically sound with a good set of features. Very strong on my first cut, which was crosscutting a section of butcher block countertop. My only disappointment is the width of the narrow side of the shoe. I would like this to be exactly 1 inch from the blade for planning cuts using a guide. I don't like dealing with fractions.
