- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2025Size: 6-1/2-InchStyle: Tool OnlyVerified PurchaseI chose this item because I have dewalt batteries so you have to buy dewalt. I would rather have the 7 inch blade but being right handed I chose the 6 1/2 because the blade is on the left side of the saw where it is easier to see the blade where as the 7 inch is on the right side of the motor. I like to be able to see the blade directly rather than trying to see the blade by looking over my right arm. Over all the saw is quite powerful and makes quick work of any sawing job I have.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2025Size: 6-1/2-InchStyle: Tool OnlyVerified PurchaseI always spend more for Dewalt because I've never had any issues with their products. When I got this saw I tried it out with a couple of 2 ah batteries and it would not make a cut without stopping. The LED light would start flashing and I did not know what that meant. The instruction book is really all warnings of what not to do and didn't list a recommended battery size or what the flashing LED meant. I ordered a couple of 4 ah batteries, and they seem to work. I later saw some YouTubes about the saw where the comments stated that 5, 6, or 8 and 9 ah batteries are much better. Had I known that, I would have ordered the bigger batteries with the saw. We will see how it does when I actually use it.
Update: it works just fine on 4 ah batteries but have at least 2 so one can always be charging. 5 ah or 6 ah would probably be much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The form factor of the saw is ideal for me. Very pleased with the choice and the price!
Size: 6-1/2-InchStyle: Tool OnlyVerified PurchaseI received the DCS565B (tool-only option) saw in an unmarked brown box. Along with the saw, I found the dust chute attachment, and the wrench snugly sitting in the holder on the right side of the saw's handle. Additionally, there were the usual paperwork and documents (manuals and notice sheets) However, I initially thought the T18 rippling blade was missing. The unmarked brown packaging made me doubtful about the saw's authenticity. Two days later, I carefully checked the packaging again and found the Dewalt 6-1/2" T18 ripping saw blade press-packed in a brown cardboard sheet, which had initially seemed like scrap cardboard. The 6-1/2" saw is just the right size and weight for me, and with all items accounted for, I am very pleased with the purchase.
ROCCThe form factor of the saw is ideal for me. Very pleased with the choice and the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasure to use
Size: 6-1/2-InchStyle: Cordless KitVerified PurchaseI work mostly in a workshop setting and didn't think I had much use for a circular saw. Changed my mind having spent a few days with this one offsite. Perfect size; ergonomics. Powerful enough to handle 2x4s comfortably. Light enough to use single-handed (which I suppose you shouldn't really do). Blade stops instantly on release of trigger. No waiting for blade to spin down after every cut. Dead-straight cuts. You need a spare battery in the charger if you're going to be working all day but the 5ah battery seemed to last quite a while even with heavy usage.
With a 60-tooth blade, I can see this being my go-to saw from now on for plywood instead of trying to wrestle with big panels on my table saw.
