I have the 575 flexy and love it ,the soft start and smooth running and ergonomics are great .

[@CaseySexton]

I have exact same saw with a 9ha battery and love everything about it. It has tons of torque and has never bogged down, ever.

[@hammerandhome]

great to hear, I'm amazed with the power it has. thx for watching

[@JoseGonzalas]

Best 60v tool I've added to my collection hands down without a doubt.

[@dw-rh6fb]

Thank you for the review, love the new apparel...keep on crushin it!

[@hammerandhome]

Awesome! 😎 thanks for watching!

[@stephanstrickland6373]

It's the same in Ontario. But some areas you see warm drive saws but mostly you see side regular circular saws Sidewinder types. We also call circular saws skill saws. I think east coast is mostly warm drive as you said

[@justgregnow]

Own this saw it's awesome! It just wants to go straight. For how nice and smooth it cuts it more than makes up for the weight.

[@hammerandhome]

it sure does, so much power too

[@SUSYPATITA]

Nice video , I have the same saw and I love it , we also call it skilsaw in some areas in the US

[@hammerandhome]

thanks! so many people get mad for me calling it a skilsaw, glad to hear im not the only one using that name.

[@rileytaylor1206]

I have that saw and it's a beast! I'm really liking it and glad I saved up for it.. I believe everyone calls a circular saw a skilsaw

[@hammerandhome]

It sure is awesome. Yeah lots of people call them skill saws or circular saws.

[@user-yi2mc1lu3w]

I have one of these. Is excellent, a bit heavy. It stops instantly, a lot less noisy than a cord worm drive. The design on makita is superior just like a skill saw . Skill had it right from the get go back from the 60’s ( not very sure when it started)

[@acidforblood]

I want to add this to my collection this year. I've read nothing but good things with this saw. It will be my first circular saw and I have a relatively strong upper body so I should be okay using it. Since I have no basis of comparison using sidewinders it will be a real treat buying a sidewinder after using this for a while. My father inlaw has a sidewinder so I'll get him to school me on that. I own and use a mitre saw for cross cuts but for longer pieces of wood where ripping is needed this seems a good way to go even though it appears crosscuts seem like a breeze too. I'm a DIY guy looking for dependable tools. Thanks for your vid demo-ing this.

[@hammerandhome]

I think you will really enjoy it, great for framing, decking etc.. it is heavy but it’s also very well balanced. Thanks for watching

[@BigZ971]

Did you ever pick up this saw? If not. There's a great sale going on at Home Depot rn

[@mogoreanu]

​@@BigZ971The Home Depot sale is why I'm here too. Great tool, but seems a bit heavy and overkill for a diy-er.

[@moniquek29]

What a beast of a saw .... we call them skill saws here in NZ also ..

[@hammerandhome]

right on, thanks for watching!

[@doublebarrel4527]

Awesome DEWALT collection 😁💪

[@hammerandhome]

Thank you!

[@kevincris2589]

I have the 578 right blade and its powerful. I also have the m18 rear handle and the Makita rear handle and i always go back to my 578. Really wish i would of gotten the 577 instead of the rear handle m18 or makita

[@hammerandhome]

nice little collection of saws!

[@michaelc7283]

Hi Brad, Yes, you are correct skil saw is a brand name but a lot of us still call it a skil saw not a circular saw. Just like the sawzall. It's a milwaukee brand but we call all reciprocating saw (sawzall), LOL. No worries, the rear handle is also called worm drive, LOL. .. Yes, a lot of framing guys like the worm drive (rear handle) saw when cutting rafter tails off and ripping multiple plywood. I used that style for many years but i now find myself using the top handle style (skilsaw) more. I just hope one of these companies can make a (7 - 1/4) top handle style with a left side blade. Just my feedback. Thanks for the video.

[@hammerandhome]

Hey Michael, you wouldn't believe how many people give me a hard time for calling it a skill saw. I definitely see the advantages of this saw however it wouldn't be my go to, just because of the weight and size. 7-1/4 lefty would be nice. cheers

[@michaelc7283]

@@hammerandhome Yup, it's heavvvvvy, that's why i like the top handle style.

[@coryskipper5820]

We say skill saw in New zealand 🇳🇿 as well. Ive got old 18v still going good. But want to get a 54 v one for when i need more power. Good review, stil not sure though, ive held it in the store and feels so heavy guess once it rests on timber weights gone

[@hammerandhome]

Glad to hear someone else is on the skill saw program 😊

[@TheCharleseye]

My safety switch got glued down the first week. I don't mind the ones that click into place (like a rifle or pistol safety) but the spring-loaded ones just end up aggravating me. I used to open up my tools and pull them out but now I just glue them in place.

[@hammerandhome]

That’s an ingenious!👍

[@stevehunt9703]

I have this saw and it cuts well. I got it on sale but would in hindsite prefer the 60 volt blade right sidewinder version. It has to me a better balance and the dust disscharge is away from the operator. The weight is excessive and limits its use in some applications. Dust disscharge needs an adjustable chute away from the operator or to a vacuum included. The 60 volt is like a corded tool power wise but I think unless the weight and size of the batteries comes down they will drive a return to corded for the higher power tools. Batteries have their application for sure but some tools are just better corded when the battery size and weight become a limiting factor in the use of the tool

[@hammerandhome]

That’s all very true, that’s a big reason I don’t like makita, they have a lot of tools with two batteries on them. Way too heavy. I really don’t like using dewalt tools with anything bigger than a 6amp battery. Gets to heavy.

[@Spoons7414]

I’m actually on my way to go pick one up here in about 10min lol

[@jonoliver5143]

Do you know if this saw will accept the 15AH battery? I have 2 and would rather not buy the kit if i do not have to.

[@hammerandhome]

I’m not sure, I actually don’t have a 15 amp battery, it would definitely make for a heavy saw though, I personally don’t go bigger than the 9

[@jwds]

I've used a 15Ah with the DCS577.

[@MrJustliketht]

If you want to compare any framing saw on the market right now. Compare it to the skilsaw mag77.

[@hammerandhome]

i'll check it out, thx

[@SzTSzTechnology]

But can it cut the concrete slab, about 4" thick?

[@mattwoody1089]

Is the saw heavy once the battery is in it

[@hammerandhome]

It’s pretty heavy. It’s not a saw I like using over my head.

[@mikecooke2376]

always wormdrive over that "left hand" saw !!! hehehehehe

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

I hate right hand blades and have always preferred a worm drive

[@noseyfuker]

Anyone having sound issues? Clicked another content provider sound is ok came back and still the sound is stuttering.... last few vids from brad been like this for me

[@hammerandhome]

Hi Mark, is the stuttering you're hearing happening during the cuts? Our mic hates the heavy vibration from big tool action, and we haven't found a good workaround yet. Please let us know if you're experiencing it at any other times, because other than during the sawing, we're not hearing any issues on our end. And thanks for watching! 😀

[@noseyfuker]

@@hammerandhome makes me sad now the stuttering is across the whole video and the last two vids where the same I thought it was my end but everything else works fine... won't put me off though I still love watching tour content.... waiting to see the next episode of the trailer build....

[@hammerandhome]

@Mark Oh no, sorry to hear! Have you tried powering down your device? Sometimes that helps us when we can figure out what the heck the issue is. Thanks so much for continuing to watch our content!! Our next Cargo Trailer Conversion episode should be coming out next week.

[@BikerLens]

Little advice for you and your viewers when cutting wood please use use mask or any respirator specially when cutting pressure treated wood it's full of chemicals and you gonna end breathing that thing you still young and these stuff are really bad. On the other hand the video is really useful and I like your channel 😊🤠

[@hammerandhome]

great tip, usually do. Thanks for watching

[@georgedavall9449]

Dude! Blade side Waste side! You’re not using the wider part of the baseplate! Just FYI I see a lot of dudes cross cutting like this, that’s why it was binding up on you! Be safe Work smart! Peace 👍😁🇺🇸

[@interman7715]

Yep ,here in Australia no one uses left blade saws ,I tried a left blade saw once and it was horrible, I felt like a contortionist trying to do a mitre with a bevel cut.

[@inventions47]

Ty but why demonstrate a lovely saw blade being destroyed on a naily bit of timber. But yes thanks for ya vid :)

[@hammerandhome]

I made sure I didn’t hit any nails. Cheers

[@doc5081]

That is a west coast saw, skil 77

[@hammerandhome]

Yeah we definitely don’t see them around here very often.

[@mytoolbox871]

rear handle is all west coast, California framers!!

[@hammerandhome]

very true

[@danilomaza1435]

Yes it is a Cali thing lol

[@derekatwood6236]

These saws are not left side and right side. The are left side and wrong side.

[@hammerandhome]

lol

[@metheult]

Your use of Imperial measurments in 2021 is frustrating America.

[@hammerandhome]

Haha try being in Canada! At Home Depot everyone speaks in imperial, selling materials etc, and so do I mostly on the job. A lot of our tools are from the USA. But officially our country is metric. And some designers I work with are all metric, all the time.

[@scottrivers6472]

I'd take imperial over metric anyway. Except for fluid measurement :)

[@stevehunt9703]

So you cant use both?

[@joevandamm]

Good review. I'm eager to get that saw as it's so good. At 10:08 what are you doing putting your hand in front like that man. A friend of mine nearly lost his life almost cutting his hand off doing that so please don't be showing that in a review video.

[@KiwiTim]

You’re obviously not a tradesman mate, when you’re on the job you get a pretty good feel for what you’re doing and what is safe to do, that didn’t look dangerous to me at all…

[@electricalron]

The Milwaukees a little nicer, superior battery life too.

[@hammerandhome]

i haven't tried the Milwaukee yet, im sure its great, cheers

[@jeffmorefield]

Yeah ok .lol
