Just drove two hours to go to direct tools and let me say that place is awesome. Got a Ryobi hole saw kit a 7 1/4th miter saw and a 7 1/4th circular saw all for $91. Worth the drive thanks VCG for showing me that place

Very nicely done Vince !!! I appreciate your time and effort to help us the VCG in making better and more informed choices when buying tools and accessories. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney

You should do a Makita vs DeWalt vs Milwaukee test. Plus there battery life and cost.

The screw driver on the end of the wrench is for twisting out the diamond knockout on a new blade.

Vince I've had mine for a week and still haven't opened it. But everything I've seen it's a beast . Update finally got to tear into some 3/4 " osb yea its seriously a beast. Its my experience that this saw is better than a corded saw . Use it on 2x4 , 2x6 . Plywood, paneling. It dosen't matter . Eats it up .

these saws are awesome. I love my flex volt worm drive saw. make sure you keep a corded with you. better to have and not need then need and not have.

Is it just me or does Vince look like a Ghostbuster with that saw in hand and vac on his back?

If memory serves me correctly, a standard corded skil saw is around 14.5 pounds and the mag 77 is a little over 12.5 pounds. So this hit right in the middle which is pretty good since the DeWalt cordless felt heavier than the corded skil. Even with the extra heft, the time saved by not rolling out or relocating a cord or hose makes these cordless tools total game changers. As long as the weight is distributed properly it has little effect on usability. FYI for the uninitiated the rafter hook we call a sky hook and the “base plate” we call the table in the field. The notch in the blade wrench served two functions, one as stated to unscrew the brushes for cleaning or replacement and it also can break the diamond center out of the blades when required.

Just bought mine on a Super BMSM Deal at HD for 113 bucks 🤯. I can’t wait to give it a spin. Thanks for vid Vince! You Rock!!

yeah, I bought it.. it is pretty cool to be cordless on the roof as you over-frame a log home.

Haha I'm still on the board, awesome! I like how saws are starting to make the blade guard handle shorter so as not to block the saw dust vent.

Thx for the demo vince just ordered mine cant wait to try out when it gets here.

Liked the vid, & honest thoughts....about dust collection. When saw NPS, was thinking same thing. Congrats on the saw & looking forward to the test results afterwards! Wish able to buy, but not in the cards just yet; still rocking my corded Skil circ saw, which is great. Thanks for the vid✌🏼

I would love to get my hands on one of these bad boys, I would like to see how well it does cutting through 4x4s at an angle

Whoever mentioned the reason for the tip on the includes tool as the way to pry out the diamond arbor is a boss genius like me.

I use the 6 1/2 left line of site and the 7 1/4 right line of sight sidewinders. And they are great only thing i didn't care for is how out of square the 6 1/2 and was wondering if theres a way to square the blade and still keep the degrees on zero

Defenetly going to buy AND I cant wait for TTR Dewalt vs milwaukee worm drive saw

the screw driver on the wrench is also used for the rip guide that slides into the side of the deck. use it on the daily for multiple rips

got mine a few days ago and i love it just cut some 2x4 with the 4.0 batt did ok need to get that 6.0 HO batt for sure!!

Great unboxing & video I’m sure my husband will add it to his birthday list!

Cut some 6x6 green treated and LVLS any good saw should be able to cut sheet goods and 2x4s all day i have the 6 1/2" left and want to get the 7 1/4" but i have a skill saw and want to know that im not going to be stepping down in power

My mag 77 blade wrench has a tab like that and the book says to use it for popping out the round harbors from a new blade to give you the worm drive diamond harbor.

I NEEEEEED IT!............ Ok I want. I’ve also been waiting years for this saw.

Vince, I understand your love for a left-sight saw, but as a lefty, I thought the manufacturers finally thought of me with the right-sight circular saws. Lol!

Good job! I like your tests and your attitude. Great stuff... you made me laugh at the cut hight comment. I thought that but dismissed it in my mind because it was no problem for you lmao.

This KZfaq channel comes threw with information you need to get the job done been in the union 7 in a half years and always wondered about the power of cordless now a days

Do you recommend the Milwaukee rear handle circ saw or skilsaw battery. I’m already on the Milwaukee platform but would rather have the better of the 2. Thanks

Great stuff. Loving this tool. TTR TIME!!

Shnugg!!! Very Kool!! I can’t wait to get mine!

dust collection never really gets all the dust, just keeps it down so cleanup isn't so bad. It seems to do as good as if it was corded. I like worm drives they seen to allow for more control and straighter cuts. Probably most because of the change in leverage points when operating them.

Only because no one has done it yet. Tool and 12.0 HO battery is 14lbs. Pretty good in my opinion. Great video VCG. For a test, I think you got to rip a piece of 4X8 on the 45 degree angle. Does anyone use the cordless band saw? if so, how well do it work?

I'd like to see a long time right hand saw guy convert to the (worm drive?) I want to know if it is actually more convenient. People talk about a better line of sight to the blade, but does it really make a difference, if you've been using a guide, speed square, fence, hand or something else to insure good cuts? Thanks

I'd like to see run times / performance with the HO 3.0s since i have a lot of them now

I mostly have 5.0 battery, Vince not sure what saw to get. Gen 1 or Gen 2?

Is the screw for the dust port a flat head? If so could that be why the blade change tool has the screw driver part to it?

Will it cut Sawmill rough cut lumber or like 2x8's or 2x12's Or oak 2x8s

I initially bought the right side blade m18 7 1/4 circular saw... i will tell you this... i loved it but was really interested with the worm style so i ended up returning the right side blade and bought this worm style circular saw.... these are my pros/cons for it... love the ways it cuts (like butter), weight is a tab bit heavier but it has the well balanced feel even with the battery on... i dislike the dust port... wished the additional port attachment didnt have a hole. They should have it closed instead.. So unlike the right side circular saw where dust isn't blowing on you... i will tell you this... with this worm style circular saw and the way Milwaukee outfitted it's dust port.... dust will surely be blowing on you....With that said i still have no regrets with adding this beast to my line of milwaukee tools.

I have this Milwaukee rear handle and I love it and it’s light..

Vince, I’d like to see the following tested if possible: Dimensional lumber OSB 1/2 & 3/4 plywood 3/4 Baltic Birch plywood, taped cut line (prevent splintering/tear out) I’ve been thinking this is the circ saw to pick up, glad I waited!

Does it work well with the 6.0 batterys?

Watched the video with the cordless makita drywall sander. Seeing the 3 in 1 today made me wonder how well it would work with the sander. What do you think? Or is there a similar but better option?

Wait till Christmas time they will be on some kind of deal just like there last 7 1/4 saw that came out last year this time

Vincent "I will say this" Carneglia Love this channel, bro. Great info

That friggin' ad right as you are about to make the first cut. 😂 Even if the dust collection wasn't perfect, you could see how much it caught in the backpack vac! I have the DeWalt 7-1/4" XR circ saw, and I wish it was left side line of sight.

Just saw this @bmore pk depot. It's really alot lighter than I thought. Should I get it 🤔

can you test it against last year right line of sight 7 1/4

Love your reviews. Has helped me in purchasing tools easier. Keep up the good work

Nice thanks Vince!! Wonder how it holds up against the current generation Skilsaw...?

I use a Milwaukee white blade on my miter saw. No complaints about it.

I have mostly Milwaukee tools but I went with the battery powered true work drive skill saw.

Hey Vince. Although, I'm in the Milwaukee 18 volt line and use them often. I bought the 48 volt Skilsaw rear handle wormdrive saw. Have been using almost everyday. I can't believe how much power this machine has, but its power is there when I need it. Thanks for the video 📹...

Bad ass saw Vince! Just cut anything with it! Get to ripping! I want to see more!

With your enthusiasm for power tools and video quality you guys should be blowing up as you very well deserve.

Cool vacuum. You look like a ghost buster.

Definitely test with materials that kill most cordless circ saws; such as 2*12 lam beams.

I use the screwdriver end of the wrench to remove the diamond on anew blade

The hole in the dust port induces a venturi effect. You get the same effect when you leaf-blow by backing over leaves, and they get ejected.

Hey Vince as a physics guy the hole is there to provide more suction at the point of entry for the dust. Think of it like an air vent in your plumbing. Air is going to take the path of least resistance so the air channel is going through the house, the dust moving through isn't going to want to escape that path because it would take more energy to exit the air channel than just follow it (eventually ending up inside the vacuum). Great video, love how you test tools.

i got the 2830-20 and it says its 10lbs but mine is TOOL ONLY, i think the 2830-21HD is 13 lbs WITH the battery

I got one from HD online and it's awesome lots of power

Hey Vince while I was watching your video on the new w saw something funny happen... the KZfaq commercial in the middle of your allocution... guess by who? De Walt !!! That was funny ! Good day Vince!

DeWalt vs Milwaukee worm drive test, what you think? and yes La Famillia, Makita too.

You look about 15 years younger took me 5 mins to realise why 😂

I got this saw last month and it's a beast. Tho I'm always covered in saw dust and you'd be surprised on how much saw dust I manage to get in my pockets

Please do a test with all 3 work drive saws (Makita miliwake vs Dewalt

Thanking about getting it haven't made up my mind already have Milwaukee 7 1/4 18 V

Looking good brother!! Great vid!!

I’m debating if I wanna get that or a replacement Skil worm drive saw.🤔

Intro cracked me up dude.

TTR it! If you can use some maple and oak and all saws with the same finish blades that would be cool.

Works well with the 3 in 1 vacuum

Been waiting for this saw to come out! Can you cut some plexi or lexan in your test? Thanks Vince!

I'm curious why the run time on this saw is listed as 570 cuts per charge when last years 2732 model is rated at 750 cuts per charge with the same battery and what appears to be the same motor. I have the 2732 and have been happy with it, I would prefer a left line of sight saw but have gotten used to using sidewinder style right line of sight saws and don't think I would purchase this one especially if its rated run time is a lot lower. The dust collection seems to work about the same as the 2732 and the table saw, which is to say not very well but definitely better than nothing. I think Milwaukee missed the boat by not expanding onekey functionality to allow a hypothetical onekey vacuum to wirelessly link to any onekey tool and auto start/stop the vacuum when the tool is being used.

Got to test this against the makita 36v

Hey Vincent love your channel! On the Makita vs Skill 77 showdown, you said batteries are the Devil 😈 lol

When it comes to worm drive cordless i’d go #1 Dewalt flexvolt #2 makit 2@18=36 v and last Waukee. Just my preference

I need to know more about the bag pockets and bag strap please.

Hi Vince, I know this is a older video but i would have like to see water or mist on the saw. My thought is, just in case you are on the job site or home and left the tool out in the rain or passing shower. Would like to see if it has any issues or causes any problems for the cordless saw. Keep us posted if you do any experiment with water with this saw. Thanks

GO Vince! Had to watch your unboxing as I found an "open box" deal for under $200. 😃 Been a while since I've seen that clean shave, lol.👍🏻 Update 6/10/2024 Just saw one in unopened box for $100 😮

Gotta tell you....You might have sold me on the rear handle. Never thought I would have said that.

Great video, great saw.

Yes, I ordered mine yesterday, 100 CDN $ off, couldn't let go by 🤩

Is it possible the hole adds more power to the vacuum? I just know most vacuums aren’t meant to be necked down, thus losing power until you create an opening to allow it to get the proper drawl.

@ vcg I have to share some frustration with acme tools. I bought some Milwaukee stuff in the being of june.(not preorder stuff) then mid june I hit them up. The said late june. Late june comes around then they say july. I just got a email saying September. Not to mention half the items the dont give me tracking. I dont think I'll be using them anymore. Have you or any of the vcg family had these issues?

If this saw is half the saw my Milwaukee Fuel 7 1/4 sliding miter saw is, it will be absolutely amazing!

Omg this is the first time I have seen Vince without any facial hair!!!

I love the white blade so much

I don't really know much about circular saws but what's the difference between a rear handle a worm drive and a regular circular saw?

Just replaced last year’s version with this new one from OPT. Used it to trim down some wood doors with a Kreg accu cut track saw system. Would love to see this against the Hilti, Makita, and Dewalt in a #ttr

that is a sexy looking sawing can't wait until I'll see them in stores and fill it and see how comfortable it really is

You should test out the new Hercules circular saw, looks pretty good!

Unfortunatelly i'm from Italy and HD doesn't ships worldwide, but I bought this beast from Ebay for 229 bucks +shipping and import fees, total of 358 bucks. Can't wait to have it in my hands! 🖤❤️

The screw driver on the end of the wrench could possibly be a tool to break the diamond insert from the standard blade. Like the dewalt rear handle has built into the angle adjustment. Black and yellow all the way !!!

Is this better than the normal circular saw from milwaukee?

The 3.0 battery works as well just not as long.

Time to TTR some Circ Saws!!! 🙏😉👌

I think this is my favorite video of you. Funny as hell.

I like this saw but I'll stick with the 6.5" for now as if i need to cut anything bigger I tend to use the 305mm mitre or table saw.

Should do a TTR vs the corded skilsaw

Vinc....just purchased this, will I get away with a 8amp high output?
