About brand
The unmatched quality and durability of Makita products is driven by the company’s strong R&D capabilities, and have earned the trust of professional users worldwide.
This is a huge improvement over a previous Hunter circular saw I had. I use it with the Kreg Accu-Cut and find it lightweight, relatively quiet, precise and conveinient. Would recommend it to anyone. Of course you are limited by battery life which is quite long but not endless.

Used for roofing. The hanging hook is perfect for the top of a scaff pole. Makita all the way.
Fab piece of kit. Feels more powerful with the brushless motor too.

The quickest site to order tools from... next day delivery worked a treat. Highly recommend trying Amazon before you shop anywhere else for tools. The price was cheaper than my independent shop

Bought to replace an older, brushed Makita 18v saw. Old one is 3700 rpm, this is 5000rpm. Torque is good, it rips 2" thick graded timber well enough, and cross cuts excellently. Have 110v and 36v saws also, and they're obvious choices for ripping compared. Still, it has loads more power than the older, basic 18v unit. The hanger could rotate further, as it's not the best. It's a bit awkward and sometimes can't get a good hold on a rafter. But, the old saw had no hanger, so still better than nothing. End of the day, can do all the cross cutting you need in first fix, and anything lighter than that is just easy work for it.
