The 18-Volt X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36-Volt) Cordless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (model XSH01PT) is the world’s first cordless 7-1/4 in. circular saw powered by two 18-Volt batteries. The XSH01PT provides the performance of a corded saw without leaving the strongly-preferred 18-Volt platform. Longer Run Time- The Makita-built motor delivers 4,800 RPM for fast cutting and ripping. In performance testing the XSH01PT/Z made 250 cuts in 2×4 lumber per charge, which is up to 2.5-times more cuts per charge than the Makita 18-Volt Cordless 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw, model BSS611Z. More Capacity, Fast Cutting- With a 7-1/4 in. blade the XSH01PT/Z has a cutting capacity of 2-5/8 in. at 90°. In side-by-side testing the XSH01PT/Z exhibited corded power and speed, cross-cutting a 2×10 in only 1.5 seconds and matching the cutting time of the Makita 5007F corded circular saw. More Features, Less Weight- Model XSH01PT/Z has a reinforced magnesium base for added durability and weighs only 10.1 lbs. (with batteries). The saw includes 2 LED indicators that monitor battery charge status and temperature. Additional features include an electric brake for maximum productivity, rubberized soft grip handles for increased comfort and a built-in dust blower engineered to clear the line-of-cut for improved visibility.

Lots of power in a cordless package. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some other saws, but it was built for power, not to be pretty. Using two batteries (36v) will prevent it from binding up like other 18v cordless saws, but it does make it a it heavier. One other thing to note – you’ll need to be comfortable making cuts with your left hand as that is the orientation of the tool. Overall, I prefer this saw over my 18v cordless, and it does just as good a job as my corded saw without the wire getting in the way!

It is awesome! If you are looking for a saw that has the same power as a plug in saw then this is for you.

Mikitatools are still the best cordless option

The only thing I didn’t realize when I bought it, was it’s a left hand saw.
