Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita BSS610 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw Kit

Customer Review: Makita got it right.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great cordless circular saw without the weight of a regular circular saw. After reading many reviews
and doing much research, I finally bit the bullet and bought this kit. I was extremely surprised with the power of the saw and long lasting battery. The led light is bright and a great addition, the batteries recharge in just under a half hour and last a very long time of constant use. I purchased this saw for three book cabinet projects that I was building out of 3/4" cherry plywood and solid 3/4" cherry wood, I never experienced a problem with the saw or a lack of power to rip 4x8's 3/4" cherry plywood. The one thing to remember is that it is a left handed saw but I'm right handed and found no problem using it. I bought an adapter sold by Makita for the saw dust that gets blown out the side and attached a shop vac to it, works great. I can now use the saw in the apartment and not create a mess with the sawdust in which my wife is allergic to it.
I'm very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this kit for any one who needs a compact but very powerful saw without the problem of a cord, this would do any job without any problems.
Nice job Makita.
