Best Rear Handle Circular Saw? Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Skilsaw

[@dennismccormick7322]

I have the makita 36 v rear handled , it's smooth and its lightweight..definitely my preference .

[@parkerdalo3248]

Thank you so much for making this a quick video, I am so sick of long 30 plus minute videos that show each individual test. You just laid the test out, and told us the results, that is all I want to know.

[@spilleradam]

I like the makita,, and I think the new makita XGT will be good, I just like the design of the makita, I have a makita hypoid corded saw 15 years old, great saw..

[@darrinbush5953]

I have a older milwaukee, 5 years and still cutting like a beast

[@Impromptuinterviews]

I've owned the DeWalt 60 volt for a few years now. When I was working at a framing crew I was told I needed to work more efficiently, because the lead guy was wasting so much time and had no clue how to layout a site. No joke literally the reason I had to leave the company. But when they told me to be more efficient the only thing I could think of was a faster saw and I had been running a Skil Worm Drive for years like 15 years but it's RPMs only 3600. I was staring at the DeWalt saw in a Home Depot when a guy who runs a different framing crew came in and said just buy it and it's the fastest I've ever used. No regrets. But I'm watching the video because you never know when something's better

[@MainMan-Dan]

I work with a small crew, my bosses son makes phone calls all day. My boss will get back to the job site and tell us we need to be more efficient. Too bad I have to bite my tongue, like man I’m dripping in sweat passed my god damn knees and your sons FaceTiming his girlfriend.

[@spf-92.5]

Sorry for your guys bad experiences, i have had similar so my rule now being a carpenter is i only work for high end large company's and i run into these issues far less. The slam bam cheapo crews are always harder to be part of the team and make a good wage without having to get too much work done in a day cause big company's bid higher for starters and then bid extra high is you do specialty high end work.

@Pro Tool Reviews. Thanks Kenny for the review of the four rear handle circ saws. Great content and opinions. Hope you, the entire PTR staff, and your families stay safe and well. Merry Christmas.

[@gerardvandijk1173]

I was skepticle of a 20 volt circular saw. But I have several B&D 20 volt batteries and the drill Works great kzbin.infoUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c . I saw the 4 stars and some glowing reviews so decided to purchase this saw. Well, leave your money in your pocket and run a cord because this little saw won't cut

[@baseballdude8491]

Metabo HPT just dropped their 36V rear handle Multivolt true Worm drive and yes it can be plugged in to the AC adapter for those long rips and that lifetime warranty Says it's the lightest if bunch-now another great reason for me to add another saw to my collection of Milwaukee Fuel and 36V Makita

[@luisinhoens90]

it's not a true worm drive, though. Otherwise an impressive saw

[@baseballdude8491]

@@luisinhoens90 yeah when I wrote that I was parroting a reviewer who said it was a worm drive-in glad it's not as I don't want the maintenance of my old worm drives And we do have two of these saws on the jobsite and everyone is ditchin the red, yellow and teal for these saws-they are a joy to use

[@luisinhoens90]

@@baseballdude8491 Metabo HPT tools are severely underrated. So far I've only purchased an 18V Brushless drill/driver kit that I gave to my mom for Christmas but I'll be getting more tools in the future. Wondering if I can use the MV AC adapter on such drill since it says 18V on the box but also says it takes MV batteries

[@baseballdude8491]

@@luisinhoens90 the Multivolt batteries can be use on both 18V and 36V tools but the adapter works only on the 36V tools

[@luisinhoens90]

@@baseballdude8491 good to know. I wasn't able to get a definite answer anywhere. Thanks

[@tylerparkin9451]

Would love to see this test again with the Hilti rear handle saw

[@luisinhoens90]

and the Flex as well

[@stran92129]

came to see how these saws compare, as having owned makita 36v, dewalt 60v, and the skilsaw cordless wormdrive.. as this review mentioned, the " only true worm drive" doesnt do the skilsaw justice, a true worm drive in itself is a huge advantage, it brings the saw to a whole different saw league. also i dont think your review empisize the downside of having a " true wormdrive", as you did mentioned the heavier wieght of rear handle saws , but the skilsaw in particular, from my experience, is a much, much heavier saw than even other rear handle cordless saws i have owned, probally due to its gearbox.

[@galvanizedgnome]

I have the dewalt and the skillsaw. That temptress Sarah Lee convinced me to buy the skillsaw, but I like how compact the flexvolt dewalt is

[@Nyall]

How is the balance on the two saws? The skillsaw has the battery under the handle, moving a lot of weight backwards, instead of being extended in front of you.

[@galvanizedgnome]

@@Nyall the skillsaw definitely has more chooch and sounds more like a normal saw, but the dewalt balance is better and runs smoother.

[@karabretz4865]

Makita works the best for me and has for years

[@Scuba_Son]

I would be interested in seeing your Milwaukee 2732 go against the DeWalt 578. In other head to heads ripping a 2x4 really shows the difference.

[@interman7715]

I use a Dewalt 575 and Milwaukee 2732 at work in real world conditions and the Dewalt eats it alive.

[@zacharylavallee9093]

Dewalt kicks butt. I run both milwaukee and dewalt. But i run dewalt saws on the 60v

[@brianf9619]

I'm liking these "Obstacle Coarse" type videos ....👍👍

[@laurenfruge7720]

Wouldn't the blade factor into the time it runs through wood? Did you use the same brand and tooth count blade or kerf for each saw?

[@hswing11]

Great point they could be messing with us.

[@joserodriquez4270]

Good point... Also some saws have higher rpms

[@thepewplace1370]

@@joserodriquez4270 which is a comparison of the saws, which is the point of the test

[@TheJoshuadavis73]

Weight isnt a issue i find, any framer that uses these very rarely cuts across mostly cut down and when ripping its sitting on material so not holding the full weight of saw.

[@SweetStat]

You’re right! Balance is much more important than weight

[@therealzodiac]

4:33 look at the cut.

[@ruthnoya8424]

Speed tests are entertaining and all, but I want to know which is the Toyota/Lexus of the group? The one that will last longest with minimal problems.

[@ajmedeiros77]

Makita hands down

[@SweetStat]

Makita for sure. Get the 40v rear handle

[@spilleradam]

Yeah speed test is not real world,, if I’m cutting rafters with a cordless rear handle saw, the most important thing is enough power and battery life, not speed..

[@loganmott2015]

I have the Skilsaw one and I mean the thing can do some work.

[@aaronrepper7649]

I run Milwaukee but any one off these saw would get the job done.

Hey in your leaderboard we saw milwaukee on first place but do you have any video of this result ... why milwaukee gen2 skilsaw beat the 578 .. i have try both of them and dam the 578 is powerfull

Where is the Hilti??? Not a fair side by side without a major brand included.

[@lilbigdaddy3042]

I would use milwaukee because I have the batterys but the skilsaw is a damn beast

[@lilbigdaddy3042]

Weight most people will get over through every day use and the skillsaw is a balanced tool I hear

[@jonhill373]

They’re really all good saws, with minor nuances. Beyond that as always it’s the operator and not the tool that makes a project come out well. I’ve always been loyal to one platform, at least since tools were cordless, and that is advantageous. At the same time I’ve always made exceptions if the benefits outweigh the cost. Years ago I discovered the Panasonic drill driver and found it far superior to all the rest, so all my employees used the DeWalt tools and I had my other. So DeWalt, Milwaukee and Makita are all good platforms to invest in, but if you just have to have the Metabo saw because it’s lighter than all the rest than go for it.

[@sadiporter2966]

makita new 40v has 6400rpm, the 18vx2 only has 5100rpm.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

It took me some time to figure out what true HVL meant. High Voltage Lithium. lol

[@muhammadhumayun2703]

What about makita 40v max saw

[@jbravo70]

Dewalt worm saw is the best. Some other companies have better tools, but Dewalt is definitely is the best here.

[@johnlandis5889]

Skip these Big Beasts and buy the Dewalt Flexvolt 578!!!

[@interman7715]

I have been running the Dewalt 575 and it's an animal.

Hay I watched your video now make a decision which one you recommend..........

Where’s the Hilti

Notice that you love Milwaukee, but I on Dewalt platform)

[@zachpel1923]

I want to see what the skill looks like

[@Phantom8Bit]

The human error comment might just be the most important part of the video. While these head to head vids are entertaining, it would take multiple trials with each tool to be more sure of the results.

[@OUTILSCLIPSQC]

Milwaukee saws are very very very big

I bought that Makita x2 36v Kit for $249 and it came with 2 more Free 5.0ah batteries , it's a great deal but the saw is Garbage, the shoe is off 3/16" and the blade has a slight wobble , anyone else having those problems ??

[@Apache-Helicopter-Life]

I have two of these saws. One for wood the other for concrete. Im a little surprised that you said you had what appears to a bad apple. The saw I use for wood is dead on and the Concrete saw (you couldn't tell the difference) holds up the longevity portion as I have used it for numerous commercial grade projects of cutting concrete slabs, asphalt, and pavers. Also, no wobble at all.

Right off the bat, this is bull crap. *THEY ARE NOT WORM DRIVES* Only the Skilsaw is. Just look at the motor. It directly drives the blade. They are SIDEWINDERS.
