As always, Milwaukee has produced another excellent product. I did not expect that a battery-operated saw would be so powerful and I was impressed. I also like that it comes with a sturdy cloth bag for storage that has outside pockets on both sides and a sturdy zipper, although it is a tight fit for the saw when the blade is attached. I also like the chip collector. It is so convenient to be able to cut metal anywhere because it does not rely on electricity to run. It does have the power of a 15A corded saw, but this is faster. I like the textured, rubberized grips on the handles.It comes with everything needed to start cutting metal: the saw, an 8″ metal & stainless cutting blade which needs to be installed, an adjustable 1.5″ x34″ woven carry strap, an 18-volt 8.0 Ah battery, and a Rapid charger. Separate instruction manuals are also included for the circular saw and the charger. I like that this charger has indicator lights and can charge both M12 and M18 batteries. The battery also has status lights to show level of power remaining.It performs well and all the described features and specifications are correct. It is nice to have a tool with a 5-year warranty – the battery has a 3-year warranty.

Cut fence pipe and other various metals. Little under powered for thicker metal.

Okay, this thing is a beast in terms of size and capability. Metal cutting technology has come a long way in the past few years and Milwaukee is on top of it with this M18 FUEL *in brushless metal cutting circular saw. It comes complete and ready to go with a tool bag with strap, 8ah battery (great size for heavy use) and rapid charger and 42-tooth metal cutting blade that is rated for steel, stainless steel and aluminum 1/8 to 1/2 inches thick. This cordless saw is somewhat heavy, but not a lot heavier than most other options if at all. The great thing about circular saws to cut steel is that they make the cleanest smoothest cuts, they cut quickly, doesn’t make a ton of black dust like an abrasive blade does, and being cordless it is extremely portable. This is geared toward tradesmen in construction jobs, particularly such as electricians who cut allthread and strut all day, but anyone who needs a highly portable, clean cutting metal saw will find the usefulness of this saw immediately.
