Metabo HPT36V MultiVolt 7-1/4 Inch Rear Handle Circular Saw, Cordless Circular Saw with 36V Battery, Lightweight Design, 53° Bevel Capacity, Brushless Motor, Electric Brake, C3607DWA

I purchased this based on the reviews here and on Awesome Framers YouTube channel. I was concerned with the power of a cordless saw. I already have a Dewalt cordless 6.5" saw and it is great, but light duty. For my primary circular saw for the framing I wanted a powerful cordless saw that would weight less than my Dewalt corded worm drive saw. This Metabo saw is very impressive. It feels very light and has about the same power as my corded worm drive saw. I wish I bought it sooner. I just started building a new home and this is going to see a lot of use. I have temporary power, but this saw is so good I'll keep using it as my primary saw.

Love this saw. Finally switched to a battery saw and have been impressed by its power and the battery life. Seems to be a quality saw and expect to get a lot of use out of it. So far I’ve used it on one construction project for sill plates, stairs, walls, etc..The one con so far is how it shoots out sawdust. It tends to come right back at you, more than other saws. I saw another review where they added a fitting to redirect the dust. I will be doing that.

Such a great deal! Works great and is super lightweight and easy to use! Charges quickly and can take a beating on the job site. Very impressive purchase.

I had cheaper circular saws for many years and at times I would watch contractors make straight cuts without a guide and I was envious and thought it was because they had more experience. One of the saws was a battery powered one that on a full charge I could do a few cross cuts on 2x4s but then it would start struggling with lack of power.I charged this saw up and I've performed rip and cross cuts. Quite a few and I have yet to charge it. And now I can perform straight cuts without a guide (at least not a guide always). It is one of my favorable purchases in my array of tools. I am very impressed and have recommended them to friends.

Wish I got the bag it shows with the saw. Only bad thinking to say ,love the saw it’s lightweight and cuts good

WOW...always just used the regular old skil circular saw, then I upgraded to one that has the blade on the left side that was sure nice...Then I got my hands on this cordless rear handle saw it is unreal...the control and feel is great, totally better than what I was using. The design and ergonomics and rafter hook makes this easy to handle even on a roof framing. Battery life seams to last forever.

Bought this item twice and each time the locking nut for the blade won’t loosen at all have tried contacting metabo but no response !

I love this saw! It isn't the most powerful, but it is powerful enough and is substantially lighter than the most powerful saws. Battery life is very good, excellent compared to a gray brand, adjustments are easy, and it's smooth. The only potential weakness IMO opinion is that Metabo HPT batteries seem to rarely go on sale. I own Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, and Flex rear handle saws and feel that I can accurately rate this saw compared to those others.
