The M18 is currently the lowest its ever been @$160: amzn.to/46XqGra And the 60V will always be worth it: amzn.to/48XiOrj We'll come up with a way to test rear handle and worm drive, just need to tinker around with motors.

Considering dewalt is the choice for many carpenters the flexvolt saw being that dominant isn't a suprise to me. However it's price is astounding!

That DeWalt 60v saw was my first DeWalt purchase. It buzzed through cured oak timber, so I was not surprised with the ranking results. Thanks for finishing up the saws, looking forward to a sidewinder vs regular saw comparison! 😀

From personal experience, the 60V FlexVolt is a beast of a saw, it does not bog down cutting through wood extremely smoothly and cleaning.

This video makes me glad I ended up going with the 60v Dewalt. It eats through anything I can throw at it. Dewalt has been killing it the past year or so.

And now we know why Barnabe and FLEX didn’t include the Dewalt Flexvolt saw in their “FLEX Face-off “😂

Dang, that Flexvolt making the beans with measly 21700 cells! 💪

Makita saws are still the most flawless with consistent performance from full battery down to 1 bar left. Noone using an XGT saw IRL will say it didnt have enough performance or that it failed them, unlike some flexvolt batteries that has not impressed IRL.

I had a good feeling about the Dewalt 60v scoring well here....first time I used mine, I was like, there is literally no down side versus a corded saw, and that doesn't happen often. Glad to see this backs up the impression!

Those 60v tools are great. The 60v grinder is a beast.

I just bought the rear handle dewalt 60v blade left and that thing is a monster and I love it

Excellent as always! The data is always right. This video quantifies what I first experienced with that Dewalt Flexvolt saw, the torque that it put out when pulling the trigger scared me a little the first time I used it. I was not expecting that much from a battery powered saw as I had used corded sidewinder saws before.😅 I got this when it was on sale at HD, it came with a "free" sawzall and 2 9 ah batteries for $450. The batteries were sold separately for $220 ea. at that time.

DCS578 has been a fantastic saw in my experience - very cool to see the data bear that out. Also nicely done "Previously on TTC..." summary at the beginning - concise but sufficiently comprehensive👍

The Dewalt Flexvolt 60v circular saws are tops in power, and I really like Dewalt circ saws in general (have a few), but to your point at the end of the video: IMO Metabo HPT saws are consistently the best value. I know the sidewinder didn't score well on the dyno test, but both MHPT 36v saws do lots of work and are lighter than the competitors' saws. Every brand has goid stuff, but MHPT is great when you consider performance and price, not to mention fine ergonomics. All that said, $340 for the Flexvolt is pretty reasonable if you need max power.

Not to be rude to a LOT of the other guys out there making tool videos but you actually understand what is going on at a hardware level and test all aspects in very accurate way. Very easy watchin.

The DeWalt impact driver was one of the best purchases I ever made in my life, coming off a hobby level tool. At the urging of other builders, I switched to Milwaukee and burned the motor out, switched back to DeWalt and have stuck with them since. This new saw is another game changer for me. I still love my magnesium circular saw for framing, but for spot jobs and keeping saw in the truck, this is the one I always have with me. To be fair, depending on the job, brands other than DeWalt will be more useful, but for impact and a circular saw, I'm happy with DeWalt.

I bought the v2 Flexvolt kit when it became available in 2020. It's a beast. I've been phasing out the Dewalt tools off the work van, but I don't see me getting rid of that sidewinder anytime soon.

If there's one tool in the Dewalt lineup that makes my red tools jealous, it's that flex volt saw. Salesman brought one on site when they came out 5+ years ago and it ripped through a 12" LVL faster than a corded saw.

The flex saw is crazy fast but in 2 weeks i have got 2 and they both stop working, also you can't rip a lot of wood without the saw protecting herself due to high temperature but danm i was liking this saw .

I feel like my Makita LXT gets beat to hell... but its such a nice solid CS for casual home use. Got the kit for $180 w/ 4 batteries, bag + charger

I've got the Dewalt, and I agree, it's a beast. I've used the Milwaukee at work before, and it's not the same.

I've had my DCS578 for a little over 3 years now and it has never bogged down or let me down, it's a fantastic bit of kit as long as you have the spare batteries on standby! because you will get plenty of work done at an insane rate. You just need to be like an F1 pit crew to keep up with battery changes 😅.

My brother bought the 60v dewalt saw after hating his corded saw, and we used it when building all sorts of stuff, framing, and cutting cement board. It is the best saw I've laid my hands on so far, and the battery just seemed to last and last, we were really shocked how rarely we had to put it on the charger. We did my bathroom on a single charge.

But impressive performance from some of these. And thanks for the accurate and great testing you do !

I still love my DSC571, it does just what I need for the projects I tend to do.

I love these videos 💪🏼 The No 1 builders Circular Saw brand in Germany is Mafell. I can only speak for corded saws, since the battery powered ones are just german Metabo ones in a red box with the great adjustment systems mafell offer. At least they use the bigger motor, Metabo offers a smaller saw, which isn’t the strongest imo. Mafell use in corded saws their own „Cuprex“ motors, which are very respected and in my own hands on experience pretty sick. We had a direct comparison when cutting 30mm OSB with a Festool and a Mafell (both around 55mm cut depth). The Mafell was about 1,5 to 2 times faster in the job. It would be interesting to see, how they compare to corded saws from all around the world 😊 unfortunately there is no one with your competency in Germany 😂

Great stuff. more beans. I am totally waiting for the reciprocating saw testing (not my pocketbook, however). My corded Supper Sawzall will not die, but i hear that the battery ones are superior now, and of coerce more convenient in the field.

Now we need a test of all these saws at their theoretical perfect battery best. What would a Milwaukee with a forge battery look like? What would a Makita with a 4040F, 5ah or 8ah battery look like? The DeWalt Flexvolt with its best battery? For those invested in each line and not buying kits, which is the best saw/battery combo within each battery platform?

I bought the first gen 60v saw when they came out years ago. Runs great to this day. Cut treated stingers with it today. No bogging.

That Flexvolt is darn impressive.

Wish theyd make more little saws like the japanese makita 40v. So much power in a little package, between that and a big corded bastard for LVL what more do you really need

After waiting for black friday sales, I got the flex with 10ah stacked and charger for 299 plus tax from acme tools. I have always been into dewalt and kobalt's lines, but with how good some of flex's tools have been, I thought with how close and dewalt are my money was better spent getting started into flex's line.

In my experience with using the 60v dewalt saw, dont get the 6 ah batter and expect to cut much. I use the rear handle version more often, but the 6 just dies fast, the 9 will get me through the day framing.

The Dewillt 60v is my fav. I’ve got a few of the brands listed. 2nd is the Milfu*ky Great stuff

I have the flex inline saw which is perfect for building my decks. Needs a nice sharp blade or it likes to bog though. and the flex rear handle which you could probably throw a blade made of butter on it and it would still cut.

I have the original flexvolt circ saw that came with 6ah flex and it's still going strong. It does anything I ask it to. I also have the track saw and I like it even more tbh.

I have the 60v DeWalt and could not believe how effortlessly it chewed through some 3/4" pressure treated plywood. It is scary powerful.

I have the 54v flexvolt but it's also grooved for tracks - not a plunge saw but can be run on tracks. Never tried it on tracks because I have a Mafell plunge saw. Both awesome kit.

I still say, in the end , you just pic Milwaukee or Dewalt and run with it. Consider which one is easier for you to get. These companies go back and forth which is good for us. I ended up with Dewalt battery driven tools and some Milwaukee hand tools. I have a Dewalt hammer drill I bought back with the old battery set up and beat the crap out of it to this day. That thing refuses to die lol. Both companies will have that occasional mishap.

Best channel on youtube period !

I grabbed the Milwaukee on a half price sale but with only a 6AH. So far so good

You need to add the Metabo HPT Rear Handle into the test. All the guys on my jobsite love it, light and powerful

Would love to see some budget saws tested. Ryobi in particular but also bauer, skil, hart, maby craftsman. I have several Ryobi lawn care tools so in turn I have several Ryobi batteries. But if their saws are junk I would definitely consider a different platform for woodworking tools

Circular saws are interesting and entertaining, but I am anxiously awaiting some more flashlight testing!

I was lucky! I just picked up a brand new Dewalt 60v saw tool only for 150CAD (about 110USD) yesterday, it’s dirt cheap for such good tool

Data is so beautiful. So is your channel.

I'm also curious for cheap tools. We bought an Amazon (Teccpo) Leafblower in fall of 2018 for around 65€ as a kit (28v battery and charger) . As a shop that sees about 15-25 customers with cars a day we use it to keep the parking lot and sidewalk clean so it is fair to say that it made about a 1000 cycles on that battery. Yes especially on colder days you can tell that the battery has a higher resistance when new and also the pack now gets hotter. Still a great purchase for our low tier use and definetly enough for home use when you don't want to break the bank.

I have the 60v DeWalt, but I was really hoping to see a test of the Bosch Strongarm.

Makita have just released, here in Australia at least, a 4AH high output XGT battery so would be interested to see how that performs.

excellent episode. thanks,

Finally. I have been waiting on the conclusion of this saw series. TTC you guys rock.

Finally! The 60v saw gets a chance to shine. I think it might be Dewalt’s best tool. Mine has never bogged down unless my blade is crazy dull.

I know Ryobi will not be a top tool, but I would still like to see it in your comparison. I was tired of needing to buy new black n decker tool sets every time they changed battery formats. I guess they didnt like their batteries being interchangeable between the 2 brands. Dewalt was doing that also. I have ryobi tolls from late 90's that can use the newest 19v battery they make.

Cant wait for you guys to try out rear handle saws, and it would be nice to see how strong are the 2 makita xgt 10 1/4" saws, one of them is right blade, so you could test it with your current setup !

All of my tools are Milwaukee save for a Dewalt drill and that saw, for obvious reasons.

Can we test cordless worm drives next? I'm loving my DCS577.

Would love to see you test track saw also!

Milwaukee will be releasing their new 7 1/4 fuel saw(2834-20 and new 12ah forge), would love to see how it does stacks up in this lineup.

My older brushed Makita LXT does almost everything I need and doesn't eat batteries. The Mag Makita does the rest. Thanks for the video, torque fellers

would tracksaw comparisons be a thing in the future?

I'd love to see if you could test portable band saws. And I'm not saying that cause I just bought one from Flex

Could you do some of the rear handle “worm drive” type saws I really like having the blade on that side and it would’ve interesting to see how they perform compared to other saws

We still want to see makitas 40v xgt tested with there bigger batteries 5ah and 8ah. equivalent to a 18v 10ah and 16ah .Makita also has a new high performance 4ah battery that has not been released in the states yet

As a carpenter, I love your channel. Out west we use blade left saws. I bought the metabo hpt based on how light it is alone

This still doesn't make DeWalt's battery lineup any easier to understand - but, hey, impressive as hell!

I knew it! I told you that flexvolt was a beast! Let’s go!

Thanks for sharing

Love your videos

Try the ryobi brushless 7.25 HP with the 9amp hour HP battery

I bought the 60v flexvolt because of this video, love the saw

Milwakee is expensive but I much prefer most milwakee tools for the ergonomics. One thing you won't find in this saw review is where is the sawdust going? The milwakee has an exaust port for sawdust on the right side of the guard that works great. Couple that with a rafter hanger, it's definitely more convenient. I love the angle grinder too for the quick adjust guard. The rotary hammer drill isn't to special although I do like the shock absorbed handle. But by far my favorite battery tool is the 30 degree framing nailer, that thing sinks 3" nails no problem and no hoses.

You need to get some automation going on those electronic loads so you can make power vs RPM graphs.

I think it's amazing that we've now for cordless tools that you couldn't power even with a 20A outlet. We're now to the point where you'd need a 240V outlet which was generally only used for fixed commercial tools, not portable.

Hey TTC I’ve been seeing an interesting Amazon brand of dewalt clones going by the name of alloy man that seem to have some beans to them. It would be really cool to see a break down of their 1/2in impact and put her on the dyno because it’s claiming 480 ft lbs of tightening. Thanks TTC. Your awesome

Would love to see the Harbor Freight Hercules 7 1/4. I have the dewalt 60v you liked here, its a beast. Would like to see the hercules though because its price point is so good ($99 for tool, charger, and 5 ah battery) and other hercules tools have performed surprisingly well (the ultra torque impact wrench comes to mind). Great video!

It would be fun to get the Skil powrcore 20x2 saw and the Skilsaw truehvl worm drive.

I have a Milwaukee 2631-20 brushless saw and would love to see how it stacks up. I know it's below the fuel in the food chain but it came in a kit at a bargain price.

I'd be interested to know if Milwaukee's 2830-20 has a different motor and if so, how does it stack up?

The combo of the Flex rear handle and 6.5 inline saws are where it's at in my opinion.

Flex with stacked batteries is a monster! But I am very happy with my xtg 40v from Makita. I also own the flex saw as a backup. Although it’s pretty funny when I use the flex batteries with my impact driver lol..just for giggles.

I knew the flexvolt would cream em. What a good saw. Now if I could just get you to do the grinders!

I've been rocking that DeWalt Flex 9 amp hour on my impact for a year now. I work in a high intensity tire shop and use it as my main. It's the Beast! I also would advise to stay away from the five amp hour battery which actually comes with some of the tools. I get better luck out of my four amp hour and I swear I almost get better time out of my two amp hour! 😅

Awesome test TTC! Any updates on testing the Bosch Profactor 7-1/4" circular saw GKS18V-25GCN or GKS18V-25CN? The new saws are sooooo much more powerful than any Bosch before - can you add them to the chart? Thanks I'm a lifetime follower...........

i have 2 flexvolt circular saws plus the worm drive style there beasts

i have the Bosch profactor 7 1/4 (and their big boy profactor 1/2 inch impact wrench) and with their 8 amp batteries . IMO the saw lacks torque for full depth cuts in pressure treated 4x4s and 6x6s and cutting stair stringers in PT 2x12s . it will do it but it takes a little more time in the 4x4 and 6x6 . but cutting stringers can be very frustrating because a lot of the time the bow/twist in a wide board can put enough pressure on the blade to make it stop . yes it can be pulled back when you feel it starting to drag and keep doing that how ever often .... bit it's a PITA . but for typical 1 by and 2x4 and 2x6 and 5'4 decking it's ok and it is quieter than my skil MAG 120 volt . but the skil MAG powers through anything , it's a beast imo . if i'm just doing typical stuff the bosch is fine and for just a few cuts in 4x4 and 6x6 it's not terrible , just a bit slow . but for stringers i just get the skil and use the generator if i need 120 out and about .... then back to the quieter bosch . BTW ... i use diablo blades

You need to get that new XGT 4Ah battery, it should improve numbers

Can you guys test the new hyper tough 12v stuby with the 4ah battery,it seems to 90% m12 at 1/3 the price.

The 60V dewalt saw is why I bought into the dewalt system. Absolute monster. I sometimes use it to cut countertops with a Kreg track and a granite blade when I have to do field fabrication and it doesn’t really care.

I have the Hilti circ saw and it has been stellar with boring reliability. Plenty of power for any task and more than enough run time. With a good blade, the hilti does everything I ask of it, and does it quickly.

Do rear handles next !!

you should test the dcf896b!!

Hello There, could you add the Bosch Profactor 7 &1/4 inch circular saw to this test also?

Wow, on that Dewalt!! If I hadn't recently found the Hart brushless saw for 50 dollars, I would definitely jump on that Dewalt.

Are you going to be testing the new DeWalt 3amp batterys they just started putting out at my Lowe's and home Depot

I would love to see you do a video on miter saws maybe corded and cordless

You should try Makita‘s new battery for the XGT line

Have you done a video comparison among different hydraulic jacks? That would be cool.

Hi, you should try Mafell circular saws. Made in Germany. Ad well as Fein grinders

You should see if you can get some battery adapters that have current and voltage sensors built in

I hope you will test the Metabo KS 18 LTX 66 BL some time soon also!
