Purchased for $60 from Direct Tools Outlet on 5/5/22. Pretty amazing for the money.

one thing i don't like about my Octane saw is the shoe can flex... i don't use it for any precision cuts, but still, it can be annoying.


FWIW...
if you'd like the latest saw, more powerful saw, you can get it for ~105$ right now.
the R8657 can be added as a "free" tool right now.

Smoke and mirrors? It's interesting that they claim the new saw is 35% more powerful than the 7 year old brushed GenX5 saw, but make no mention of any power improvement over the Octane. Ridgid claims the Octane saw is 30% more powerful than the same GenX5. So looks like the new saw is about 5% more powerful than the Octane, although somewhat strangely the new saw has lower RPM's than the Octane at 5400 vs 5600. . A couple reviewers on the HD website say they have both the Octane and the R8657 and claim there is no power difference. I have the Octane and don't notice any shoe flex.

I see this is $89. Is it still over or do I have to use a specific zip code?

Do the tool hack with their ($249) drill combo w/free gift. Choose the new released circular saw at ($179) and the price comes down to ($104). Just return the combo kit in store. Basically paying the same price as this but with the new upgrades!
