Makita 18V Cordless LXT Lithium-Ion 6-1/2" Circular Saw BSS610Z, Tool only

This saw works very nicely, precision made and well designed. But note this - Makita makes two versions of the 18V lithium batteries, 3 AH and a smaller 1.5 AH version which goes well with light drills and impact wrenches. My previous Makita tools all came with the smaller battery - but turns out the 1.5 will NOT fit this saw, which accepts only the 3 AH version. I didn't know that and neither the Makita website nor manual say anything about it, which is annoying. So I had to buy a new battery for this, which added $65 to the price.

I buy the LXT tools alone since I have 2 batteries and a charger. Some say the 1.5 batteries dont fit. That is the battery size I have and it works fine for me. Plenty enough charge for me, since one is always on the charger. Great tool, very well built with left view for right handed people.

what a great saw for the money....many nice features, and the light is wonderful. nice thin kerf.

Excellent product. Works very well. Vendor was prompt. Couldn't ask for more.

Came as a left handed saw. Was not described as that. However , after I recieved the tool I looked back at the advertisment and it was a picture of a left handed saw . Otherwise , great tool !!~

this cordless saw outperforms my rigid and hitachi cordless saws. lots of power and very well balanced. this is one of my favorite tools...i abuse it and i cut thru some big nasty material.
