Makita 18V Circular Saw Brushless LXT 165mm Skin

A reliable brand from a trusted friend.

So nice to use, nice and light, well engineered, precise settings, and good power. Kind of as expected after researching this.

Excellent tool

Nice and handy, thx

Hard to go wrong with Makita and this tool is no exception. Sturdy and well constructed with no shakes and rattles and really does what it says it will. There is a shavings discharge aperture that you can attach a vacuum to, but I didn’t use one. However the shavings didn’t bother me at all. Great view of the cut with right hand on the trigger and left on the forward hand grip. The saw was supplied with a thinner blade than the usual rip saw blade. Still tungsten tipped. Very useful for me as I was doing some kerf bending on 1” x 4” rail. I did over 110 cuts with no fade and still a couple of lights on the battery, so the much lauded brushless technology is worth the mention. Higher revs on the blade also made for easier cutting. Very nice piece of kit.

I use this almost everyday; more so than my 185mm corded Makita circular saw which I've only used several times. It's lightweight, portable, small, and can do what you would also expect from larger saws. You are only limited to the depth of the blade and because the blade is now on the left hand side, cutting is far easier when sighting down your cuts. One draw back is that you are prone to receiving dust on your clothing as the extractor is also the same side as the blade. Over time you will learn to find what works best for you when cutting timber and where to clamp. Apart from this, it's the best tool ever.

Excellent portable saw. Thin and sharp blade is very efficient. Quiet compared to plug in tools.

Great saw far better then I thought it would be.

My nephew needed a saw to start his New Apprenticeship he has started with 3 Dukes Homes and he absolutely loves his new saw hasn't had any problems can't wait to our future purchase.
