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

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

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

I got a rafter hook with mine..just got it March 2019. I got the bare tool for $128.

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×

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

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.

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

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

Rafter hook present in 6/2018 dcs570b version

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.

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

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

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

CORRECTION: The DCB115 is NOT a fast charger.... the fast charger is the /DCB118

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

Rob, can you guys do a comparison between this saw and flexvolt?

I wish they would put the blade on the other side like a worm drive where you can see the blade when cutting its built more like a sidewinder home shop tool

do a direct comparison between the XR and the 60 volt flexvolt

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

Hey, Rob! Thank you for your answers! Have you gotten your hands on any of the power detect tools? What do you think about this compared to flexvolt? What do you think about circular saws that are track-compatible vs plunge-cut?

Man, i can wait for the side switch dewalt 20v brushless grinder in the US. I really don't care for the paddle style. Cool video on the dust extractor. Cheers

Can confirm, this is a beast of a saw.

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

I love the Saw I use it when I'm cutting Durock and Elevator Shaft core board I use A piece of Metal track as A straight edge and make a straight cut

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

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

just got it at Lowes dcs570b $159 with free 6.0 ah 20v XR battery during fathers day.

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.

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

I just got this saw it comes with the rafter hook this saw is definitely more powerful than the milwaukee plus it has a aluminum base which is more durable than the magnesium which breaks very easy I have 3 saws with magnesium bases all have pieces broken off

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.

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

I have a 10 ah battery and I ran it all day cutting with skil saw and sawzall and screwed a roof off and it only took 1 bar off

New one has the rafter hook ! Just got mine saturday, with a 6ah battery for 159!

Can u put this saw on a guide rail

I can't wait to see it here New Zealand

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

Hi which one is better 61/2 0r 71/2

Yeah The Dewalt Cordless Circular Saw is Sweet💪👍🤜

this saw with the new 8 amp battery is just as powerful as the flexvolt saw. unreal

My question is can you able to use a square with the saw to make straight cut?

For the avg home woodworker would you recommend the 6-1/2 or the 7-1/2? Thanks for the vid BTW!

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

What would you rather but the 7 1/2 Flexvolt Dewalt circular saw or would you but the Milwaukee M18 second Gen circular saw? Also m18 10” miter saw Or flexvolt 12” miter saw?

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

Yeah, This Dewalt Cordless Circular Saw Is Sweet👍💪🤜

I wish they made a "right handed" version with the blade on the left side...

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

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

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?

I think it is a great saw

Am I the only one having issues with the saw?! I cannot cut a straight line with the saw for the life of me. I wonder if my guide is off? I have time in the blade but, still cannot cut straight no matter what I do with this circular saw.

Ok, you convinced me. THanx.

thanks for the videos. keep em' coming.

Does the blade walk like the previous generation 20v saw? I had three of them and every single one would pull towards the motor.

why are they making the cordless saws with the blade on the right side of the saw.. That was the only thing I liked about most cordless saws. do right handed people actually prefer this to having the blade on the left side of the saw?

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

Does it work with any Dewalt 20v Lithium batteries? Good video. Thanks!

Does it cut straight

Does anybody know if Dewalt is going to release a 6 1/2" brushless circular saw? If not whats wrong with putting 6 1/2" blade on this?

brushless circular saw using left side saw blade are better and easy to looking

But can it cut through 1" of mdf.

looks like the flex volt saw

So the flexvolt saw is pretty pointless really now then?

I thought xr was Xtra rugged

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

That's not the fast charger.

The charger is not a fast charger my friend.

Cool, dewalt makes cordless circular saws for left handed people.

There is no "R" in SAW

And designed for the right hander,nothing for the left handed user :/

So what's the point in flexvolt saw? Looks like cannibalism

That's not a fast charger

18V

it's a good saw for studs and plywood . that's it tho. but once you put a 9ah flexvolt battery in it ,it's actually better than the 50v flexvolt circular saw. you get way more cuts but just not as powerful .ps.fuck makita

"...is prime example of this..."? Of what? You being cordless on the jobsite or this is a prime example of them being easier and save time on tasks or both? No wonder you have a job/career in a construction related field, you probably won't cut it on any other higher intellectual level
