Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light in weight, no annoying cord and more powerful than my corded skilsaw. Lxt battery life is great. Little features like the rip scale on front and back of the base make quick rips a breeze.

It has been roundly abused and still runs like new. I have several makita tools and this one performed superbly. It performs just as good as the day i bought it.

Ripped a 1x6 in half once with help from a reciprocating saw. Plenty of power for ripping plywood and cutting 2x material. With a right hand blade it is easier for right handed people to see their cut line.

Cons

The saw is almost entirely plastic. Adjustments for depth and angle are very cumbersome and inaccurate. It has zero power.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

This saw fits my grip perfectly, operates smoothly and had no issues going through either framing or sheet good materials.

Plenty of power and has a good weight and solid sturdy feel.

Usually lasts 1 year plus with light commercial use, last one i bought crapped out in less than a month.

It’s been 6 months or so since the purchase, and i am frustrated.

Price

I could not find this for sale on amazon and so purchased it elsewhere.

Was with my first time buying it on amazon cause it's 30$ cheaper than stores

A little overpriced but it wort it; this is a really good and strong little saw.

Shipping

My new toy, makita xsh03z 18v lxt® lithium-ion brushless cordless 6-1/2" circular saw arrived yesterday late afternoon.

Packaging/appearance

Btw, this seller knows how to pack and ship properly!

Competitiveness

I have 2 other big brand saws, both with "bigger" batteries, and this is becoming my favorite.

I experimented with a couple of cordless saws, including makita's model with two batteries, and this is the winner.

I prefer this model over to the corded one for portability.
