DEWALT FlexVolt Advantage 20V Brushless 7-1/4' Circular Saw DCS573B Vs Flexvolt 60V Circ Saw Review

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEWALT now has another new 20V line called the FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE that has technology built into the tools to allow for greater power output with FLEXVOLT batteries. The new tools include a 7-1/4-In. Circular Saw (DCS573B), 1/2-In. Hammer Drill/Driver (DCD999B), Reciprocating Saw (DCS386B), and 4-1/2-In.-5-In. Cordless Grinder (DCG416B).

FLEXVOLT batteries, especially the new models, have a greater energy output allowing the new FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE tools the ability to recognize the battery attached and adjust the amount of power supplied to the piece of equipment. No worries, any 20V battery works with these new tools, but FLEXVOLT batteries maximize the potential of the new technology in the tools.

DEWALT claims the new 20V Brushless Cordless Circular Saw with FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE can provide up to 77% more power when using a FLEXVOLT battery versus a 5Ah 20V battery.

Helo!
I have these two saws in duplicate “2 of 18v and also 2 of 54v” the 4 saws work almost daily in professional use, and so far they have never given me any problems.
They are incredibly fantastic, and although both are very identical in size and weight, the FlexVolt 54v are actually more powerful! withstand cuts with maximum thickness of high hardness wood without any difficulty.
I forgot to mention that I am from Portugal, and the manufacture of both 4 saws is Germanic.
I love your channel! I only follow 5 tool channels on YouTube and yours is one of the 5 channels I follow!
I thank you for your fantastic videos, I like a good channel where humility is present and always a good safety advice to help us not make it easy when it comes to the safety of handling any tool!
Until the next video!

You're acknowledging the absence of your PPE towards the end of the video, and the importance of using them was steller! It made my heart smile. Good comparison video.

[trentfransene]

Thank you for making this an easy decision for me. Since I already have a couple flexvolt batteries. Keep up the videos.

Hey, thanks for this video on these 2 saws. It's great to see that difference last year I bought the 60v saw and it does great for me I have pretty much moved away from my other circular saw and corded saw

I got the Flexvolt last year and it has become my go to saw. I’ve come to prefer it even over my worm drive corded saw.

Glad you called yourself on the safety glasses man, not too many tubers have the guts too. Stay safe

Another Milwaukee guy watching the video and coming away impressed. Actually I’ve just started in Milwaukee and hope to be taking advantage of some of the amazing deals out there this season. With all that being said, both of these saws seem to have some great features and capabilities, but it’s interesting to see a great side by side demonstration, especially walking up the various battery sizes and then for the true Flexvolt saw to still clearly dominate in raw power. I have to say I am impressed. Also, huge kudos on addressing the eye protection oversight head on, instead of waiting for it to be fought out in the comments section. We all could stand to be a little more willing to don the proper PPE; it’s quick to do (and it’s waaay faster than a trip to ER!)
Ain’t nothin’ macho about losing an eye unnecessarily (unless you’re a pirate....because, necessary or not, it really does enhance that particular esthetic.)

Arrrrgh!

[alexgarcia]

I have the flexvolt, and that thing is a monster. Has more power than a corded saw. I've had it since it came out, probably 5 years ago. And it's still kicking

[digitalrae]

Been in the trades for a few years now. Framed with the 60V for a year and loved the saw. I ended up buying the 20V for myself but today I finally made the decision to buy the 60V. The 20V was okay but I found it a lot weaker and had trouble cutting, personal I don’t think it’s a saw you can frame with. If you’re going to buy a saw get the 60v

[donnysanner]

Wow, it's getting a little hard to keep track of what's what. Having options is always a good thing, but this is getting crazy. There is no doubt that the Flexvolt is the King of circular saws concerning power....and being a Milwaukee guy that's hard to say...but the truth is the truth. Your right when say that you cannot ever have enough power especially when your on the job...it's getting late and you have a deadline to meet and you still have quite a bit of cutting to do....in a perfect world blades would stay sharp forever but sadly we all know that's just not the case. Where the Flexvolt truly shows it power is when you don't have a new spare blade with so all you have is what you have....a dull blade. This is where the extra power pays for itself big-time. So if I was a team yellow guy....buy the real deal and be done with it. Excellent demonstration comparing the two saws showing what they can and cannot do....Great vid brother.
Sorry about the long winded post..😁

Hey Brian, thanks for tackling such a confusing test, I have the 1st gen Flexvolt 575 and it's awesome but I might just grab a 573 to use my lighter 5 amp batteries on lighter work and also I have the option of using the Flexvolt batteries as well .👍Win WIN.

[hermanharris]

Best review of the flexvolt advantage yet. Thanks

[justinfr]

This is a really good review. Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for!

[alexshdvideo]

Thank you for posting. I have a few 20v max tools and batteries. My uses for circular saw is minor construction on weekends. So if I can get a deal (Home Depot often has in short runs) of 20v flex with battery/charger combo from Home Depot for $199 I’ll do it Getting the 20v max saw by itself $149. The 20v flex $199 (better choice) or go all in for 60v flex kit. (normally $299). Decisions, but at least I know I would be more future proofing going to 20v flex over 20v max.

[christopherhoffman]

Thanks for the video!! Gonna have to get the flexvolt advantage saw because on a plane, 5.0 ah batteries are the max you can bring!! So, this video convinced me which to get. Thanks again!!

[actionjksn]

I already had the impact driver and c couple of 3Ah batteries. I just bought the 60 volt saw with the 9Ah battery and the 20 volt flex volt advantage 999 drill which also came with a 6 amp hour 60 volt battery. That gave me two compatible batteries for my 60 volt saw.

On the tools that have the expensive batteries it doesn't make sense to buy the bare tool, because for instance with the saw you pay about $100 extra and you get a $220 battery and an $80 charger. Two 60 volt batteries is enough for me to keep my saw going for most jobs. And frankly if that's not enough I have the best corded DeWALT circular saw that DeWalt makes and if I need more capacity I will use that.

[dumbdabbingdad]

That was a good catch on your part. Safety first, always.

[msudawg]

I was debating on the 20v vs 60v saw. Your video just gave me my answer. Thank you!

[michaelc]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the video. It was helpful.

[alexibarra]

Great informative stuff. Just purchased the advantage, which will work for my application as industrial/commercial electrician and personal home use, so not too much power needed there. Looks like an 8ah XR for $140 will get me by. Think someone alluded to this point, but anyway; Flex volt looks like it runs one battery as two: two hots, two neutrals, two grounds. Same thing going as a circ saw with twin batteries like Makita.
