Beast of a Saw

Got a great deal on this saw after the new generations started coming out about a year or two ago, and man am I glad I was able to snatch this thing up. I've used it extensively to rip 3/4in plywood with phenomenal results, in addition to all of the typical cross-cutting of regular solid-wood building materials. I've only used this circular saw with an Octane 6ah battery, but that battery honestly has gotten me fine results without ever going dead. My use of this saw most recently included working on and off for several days, 30 mins to an hour at a time building bed slats, including with longer/slower rip cuts - and all on a single charge. This goes without saying too, but the saw also definitely has plenty of power from what I've seen. I've been very impressed, especially for being a cordless model. It really is awesome not having to mess around with a cord when making cuts, and this saw has convinced me I'll never have to go back to a corded model. The included dust extractor is a great little additional feature, hooks right up to my Ridgid vac and does a fine job getting 90% of the dust.
