I've been slowly migrating most of my tools to cordless and am fully in the Ridgid ecosystem. I'm a weekend warrior, so cordless 18V is plenty for all of my jobs. The final piece was a circular saw. My current one was a 7-1/4" Hitachi that had been bullet proof.
But this checked the boxes so I went for it. It is super light and cut through 2x4 and composite decking with ease. While blade selection is somewhat limited compared to 7-1/4", there's plenty enough for any other home owner from coarse cut to finishing blades to diamond blades, etc. I struggle to imagine a situation where one couldn't find the blade they needed.
The one pseudo minus to this (and other 6-1/2" saws) is the blade is on the opposite side compared to 7-1/4". Not a deal breaker, but first several cuts just felt "weird" and took some getting used to.
But overall this is a solid purchase and I feel confident in it 100% replacing my corded 7-1/4" saw.
Thanks for having a respectful, productive discussion about our respective opinions!
Doers always have my respect🍻! Someone who prefers to pay others is going to get all bent and thumbs down that🤣
BTW, I got my Milwaukee 6.5" off Ebay "refurbished" tool-only for about $70 or 80, I can't remember the exact amount . It came looking brand new with nothing missing. I luckily didn't pay too much of a premium for it
Don't underestimate a good hand saw, especially when used in good hands.

How much difference does the max battery make? I've got other ridgid 18v tools and I've been happy with them, but mostly impact wrenches, drivers and a drill.
Edit: looks like it's a different model now, OP's link is no longer to the brushless saw.
