Thanks man, that bevel cut difference with the 2X4 made me go with the 7-1/4, excellent demo, thanks.......

I’m a hobbyist, not a contractor. In my shop, a battery circ. Saw is a really handy tool, but for panel break-down, a track saw is the best answer, I think. It’s just hard to justify $100+ for a circular saw. But, the $69 6.5” might be just the ticket. When I need to make a quick cut on a board, that Hart saw fits the bill for economy and purpose. Thanks!!

I would recommend the 7 1/4 based on being able to cut 2 x material at an angle and blade placement. If you can swing the cost definitely get the 7 1/4 and lastly build something awesome. 👍🏼

I gave my dad my Ridgid 7-1/4 and purchased a Ridgid 6-1/2 brushless and really only noticed the difference on the first few cuts. Since TTI makes both it would not surprise me to learn they are similar to Hart.

Excellent, clear-cut (ha ha) explanation of the similarities and differences, Rob. Hope you're recovering well.

Thanks for making this simple video to answer my question! Going to buy the 6.5" that is included in their lit, then upgrade in the future.

I actually have the Milwaukee M12 5 3/8” circ saw. I use it mostly for ripping sheet goods, or cutting 2x stock. And it does quite well. For 45 degree cuts, I use my mitre saw or table saw. Now, everything I do is in a shop, and not construction, which is why it probably works just fine for me. I was already on the M12 platform, and I got it really cheap.

I wanted to know, 6-1/2 or 7-1/4? Exactly the info I needed..

Thanks, Ryan Day!

3/4 inch does matter. Not that I know anything about that. But really you choose the one that can cut all the way through what you need it to cut through.

Just bought the 7 1/4” for $48 on clearance at my local WalMart.

Anyone know why some Hart tools will stop workin in the middle of using it n not work again until I pop the battery out n back in? I'm yet to buy a new battery n see if that's the issue. But I have 2 different batteries now n they both do it with my drill and Sawzall

it seems like a 6-1/2 with a dedicated fine-tooth blade would be ideal for breaking down plywood for furniture or cabinets, and then a 7-1/4 for construction lumber.

Hi very nice comparison. Could you do one for Dwalt ?

So out of the two saws what is the battery life which one is gonna last longer on the same battery?

Ohio State?! And I thought you were a good guy this whole time, Rob.... WE ARE!!! P.S. hope you're recovering quickly from surgery!

Agree that sometimes you just need the larger 7-1/4 saw for certain tasks, but what was not mentioned in this video is that there are a number of 6-1/2" circular saws that can do 45-degree cuts through two-by material. For some reason, the 6-1/2" Hart cannot do it, but I guess that's what you should expect for $69.

I tried to like a video and now I'm somehow in someway here so that's cool👍

What brand bibs do you wear and how do they hold up in the shop? The straps look more comfortable than the standard carhartt ones.

i got my anewer thanks was helpeful

The only thing I care is that it's cordless, the corded tools get stuck on tables and ruined cuts making it look ugly

How did everyone enjoy that commercial for hart cordless tools you haven't got to be fucking kidding me

Would a woman be able to handle both of these saws easily. I'm buying my first circular saw (I have a sliding mitre compound saw and a angle grinder (I'm a bit disappointed with angle grinder as I got the small one and I feel quite limited by it - brilliant machine and powerful, but blade size just too small) I wouldn't work with the circular saw for long periods, so what's your opinion on a woman handling either weight and size? TIA 🌺😊🌳 (Edit: I'm an artist so my use would be varied. Sometimes I use extremely hard/dense wood, others thinner and softer, I do work with thick wood as well, fairly often (25% of time).

Nice video but not the hat... GO BLUE!!!

Those saws have more cheap plastic than the kardashian's

Maybe I'm old school, but I feel that any saw 7 inches of bigger should be on a cord.

👍🏻🍻🍺🤙🏼

Anyone who would recommend Hart...has nothing I want to hear

Need more discussion on left vs right bladed saws. There is more to it than preference, seems there may be an engineering/manufacture reason. Most brands only offer 7.25 on right side and 6.5 on left. I want/prefer 6.5 on right but it is not available.
