20V MAX* Circular Saw, 6-1/2-Inch, Cordless, Tool Only (DCS565B)

I received the DCS565B (tool-only option) saw in an unmarked brown box. Along with the saw, I found the dust chute attachment, and the wrench snugly sitting in the holder on the right side of the saw's handle. Additionally, there were the usual paperwork and documents (manuals and notice sheets) However, I initially thought the T18 rippling blade was missing. The unmarked brown packaging made me doubtful about the saw's authenticity. Two days later, I carefully checked the packaging again and found the Dewalt 6-1/2" T18 ripping saw blade press-packed in a brown cardboard sheet, which had initially seemed like scrap cardboard. The 6-1/2" saw is just the right size and weight for me, and with all items accounted for, I am very pleased with the purchase.

This review is for DCS565 6.5 inch circular saw. Its my 5th tool in their 20 V Max cordless line. Very robust tool. Hard to kill. Well balanced and sits well in my hand. I am a righty, so I preferred this model so I can see the cutting line. As compared to the 7 inch version, on which I wouldn't be able to see it. The only annoyance was the blade guard before I removed it. The design of the guard is not smooth, and the threshold at which depth of cut its supposed to release, doesn't work well at smaller depths. I had to ruin a few cuts trying to adjust the depth lever, before I decided to remove the guard altogether. With guard removed, there are no hiccups in how the tool follows your hand, everything works fine now. I highly recommend it.

Very weak. So weak in fact that when I tried to cut timber the blade would come to a halt but the motor continued to spin. I was only 2cm into the cut before it stopped. Unless it can be fixed by Dewalt I won't be changing my rating.

This is my first cordless circular saw got tired of running for a extension cord or them not being long enough, the saw it's self nice sleak design the rafter hook works great , saw cuts nice with a 5ah battery on I put a 6ah flex volt battery on it and that improved its performance even more the blade that came with it did as it should did nice clean easy cuts every time ,overall solid saw do recommend

Chulada de cerrucho, eso si, recomiendo una buena pila y un buen disco de corte para que te de su mejor rendimiento.
