Burnt up 2 Milwaukee’s. Yes the warrantied them. My dewalt is still going though. Longevity is a metric too. Just saying.

Hello Pro Tools,
The Bosch 7 1/4 Pro Factor saw I feel should have been included in the testing. I use my Bosch saw with an 8amp battery and have excellent results. Please put some thought it in future testing. Thank you for the video.

I’ve handled corded and cordless saws for years in framing and trim carpentry, the corded makita was always the easiest to use with great power and nothing ever felt as comfortable. Tried many brands for weeks, and when I say me and the 60 year old framers knew right away using the Dewalt flexvolt saw that this was going to be our full time saws moving forward, I mean we knew right away. Closest thing to perfection

[brentd]

Fully craftsman gets some credit. Never had a problem with any of the tools

[soundblitz]

Really Milwaukee not the most powerful and prone to burn outs. Dewalt flex Volt is a better circular saw

[richadent]

I noticed you left out Bosch and Hercules, I will stick with my 60 volt Dewalt. Skil is the most overlooked brand. I have some of their 12 volt tools, love them. And would have gotten Skills 40 volt(20volt *2) 7.25 circular saw, but it came out a few weeks after I bought the Dewalt 60 volt worm style saw.

[sidsteverson]

Ryobi got screwed on this test. All these other saws using their top line, largest battery. Ryobi was stuck with a 4aH. It would have been fair to use the 8 or 9 aH. It wouldn’t have beaten out Milwaukee but at least it would have been a more fair test

[AuralioCabal-nlgi]

Bought a Flex Rear handle with 10 aHr battery and charger for $280. from Rona Store ( ex Lowes store) best deal ever!

[DougHittle]

Wish I saw worm drive style, that's my preference

[tangodown]

Flex great showing for a new brand they should get more love in the market hope flex doesn't give up to soon I think they could compete as more younger guys buy their first professional tools it's just going to take time as guys already in the trades are invested in batteries.

So metabo hpt uses the old model saw, which their new one that is like 4 months old now, has like 30% more power.

Ryobi was tested with a 4ah 2p battery with 18650 cells, when they offer the 8ah 2p and 12ah 3p that uses 21700 cells. Even ridgid, a mechanical sibling to the ryobi, was tested with the 8ah 2p 21700 cell battery.

This is just out of the brands I'm familiar with. I don't know much about makita 40v, hilti or skil, but now this makes me question their results too, like is there a newer model or notably better battery that wasn't tested with?

[brandonrowland]

For me its makita, why? those are the batteries i already have

[Bangvianmancing]

Alatnya bagus kualitas mantap.tap8 kalau ke Indonesia sangat mahal

[mohameddouah]

I have 2 Dewalt and 3 milwaukee❤🇩🇿🇩🇿 from algeria

[Toolsareus]

I think the cobalt XTr is a pro grade tool. They just need to update their XTr line because their tools are all about 5 years old now with no updates
Also, why did you leave out the Hercules saw I was really interested to see how it would perform

[DownTownJohnBrown]

RIP that guy's lungs... Crazy running all these tests with no respirator

[STRAIGHTEDGEJAKE]

I had a guy at work say I thought you were a Milwaukee guy when I brought him that saw to help him with his siding, I said, I watch lots of YouTube videos on each tool before I buy it, this video is a testament to my “Milwaukee’ guys

[Therealphantomzero]

Hmmm seeing that Metabo hpt it's using a older style battery being compared to the forge batteries it still outperformed the Milwaukee in some tests where it dnf on. It Ran right through the middle of the pack on most test and even surpassed Hilti twice. This saw is literally 107 right now on Amazon. Under value value.
But one thing to notice it has a larger 2 7/16 depth of cut. Which i know Milwaukee depth of cut tends to be on the shallower side so i want to see all the depth of cuts compared. I find the sightline things really weird on these years. I cannot say i like Milwaukee sightlines as i have that saw.

[renurenovationsllc]

VERY curious to see the new 7.25 with the 12.O Forge battery, should be very competitive for that top full depth cut spot.

Putting the graphs in order would have been nice
