I say this because many new tool buyers aren't aware of the difference.

"These programs only cover wear and tear or failure of the tool arising under normal usage and proper maintenance. They do not cover any malfunction, failure or defect resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, alteration, modification or repair by anyone other than an authorized service center for RIDGID® brand hand held, pneumatic and select stationary power tools."
So...wear it out, it's covered. Drag it around behind your car, it's not covered.
That's fair / typical
And better than any other similar major brand, yes?
And of course you are wrong. It is the most powerful, fastest cutting 6/12 circ saw per a comparison using a track system and long rip cuts. It beat:

Corded = more utility to cost, yes
Corded = never going to let you down 1/2 through a job, yes
However, the versatility, light weight, and ease of use of the cordless makes it very nice to have for select jobs. You can do a lot if you finess it right. I've ripped 1/2 osb with my 6.5 and been very thankful not to drag the extension cord out to the shed where I did it. My battery powered is also a hell of a lot easier to control when / if it does decide to kick.
Unless you have a power outage lol😂

Thanks for having a respectful, productive discussion about our respective opinions!

Don't underestimate a good hand saw, especially when used in good hands.

I live on acreage and work on other properties where power is not always nearby. In fact, I used the circ saw yesterday for trellis repair work for a large garden that is far from the house where the power source is. No more generator, no more dragging cords on top of roofs, cords hanging down and pulling on the tool when removing rotted fascia... just come prepared with charged batteries. That being said, my skilsaw is not for sale.
Curious, do you have this specific Max Tool model? Max bat and what size?
