Craftsman currently offers seven circular saws, and just about all of them are affordably priced. Even if you splurge on one of its pricier models, such as the handy Craftsman V20 4.5-Inch Cordless Circular Saw, you should still be able to get your hands on it for under $200.
But if you’re shopping for one of the most budget-friendly options in the Craftsman lineup, the Craftsman V20 6.5-Inch Cordless Circular Saw can offer exactly what you’re looking for. It’s lightweight and easy to use, providing “big power in a small package,” as one reviewer puts it. Plus, it’s ridiculously affordable to boot. It normally retails for $109 at Amazon, and if you buy one now, you can get it for only $79.
Measuring approximately 14 inches long, 8.5 inches wide, and 7.5 inches tall, this Craftsman circular saw is on the smaller side compared to competitors’ models. It’s also only about 6.5 pounds, making it lighter than you might be used to. However, it still delivers a high-performance brushless motor capable of up to 4,200 RPM, allowing you to use its 6.5-inch blade for quick, sharp, and accurate cuts.
This circular saw also offers several other worthwhile features that make it a must-have for many do-it-yourselfers. From its tool-free beveling shoe that lets you make angled cuts up to 50 degrees to its contoured handle designed to keep your hands comfortable while cutting, Craftsman crammed a little bit of everything into this saw without forcing shoppers to pay an arm and a leg for it.
“It’s powerful enough for all my home DIY projects,” one reviewer wrote. “After owning corded circular saws for nearly 40 years, this is my first battery-powered model, and I’ve found it to be up for the task of tackling all my sawing needs.”
“It’s the perfect size for DIYers,” another shopper added. “It’s not heavy at all and offers plenty of power to cut anything it touches.”
