Home Depot has Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12V Lithium-Ion Brushless 5-3/8" Cordless Circular Saw (Tool-Only, 2521-20) on sale for $92.12 after hack. Select the lower price battery kit and free cir saw. Return battery set or don't pick up.
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I like M12 stuff but what could this realistically cut before the battery dies?
Well it says up to 190 cuts of 2x4's per charge using 5.0 battery.
This probably isn't a tool a contractor would be using all day to frame a house, but likely good enough for any home owner especially if you have extra batteries.

Is this the newest version they recently released?
Yep, as someone who has both, it is a SIGNIFICANT improvement vs Gen1. It's way lighter, the handle's closer to the center of gravity so it's much easier to manipulate with wrist action.. more powerful, motor sounds nicer/better, has a rafter hook, motor doesn't overhang as much (nicer for getting in to tight spaces)...
The ONLY drawback vs the old one is the plastic blade guard, which isn't really a problem in my eyes. Gen1's motor housing was massively overbuilt, making it relatively heavy.

Well I can cut 2x4s with my miter saw. And I have a track saw already. You think I should still get this? I'm a DIYer too going to be finishing my basement in the next few months
I have done this, I just call home depot customer service after I order and I ask if they can cancel part of my order. Done it twice no issues. Haven't done it lately because the deals ive found have been in store. But I also do store pick up and return batteries after pick up. No issues 👍

I have a table saw, miter saw and a track saw but I still have a 6 1/2 and a 7 1/4, its good to have light saws for a quick cut. Especially for a quick 2x4 cut or a small piece. Super handy in my opinion. Just check wether you can get a better 18v saw for around the same price. I have m12 tools but no saws. I'm happy with them so far and impressed 👍

I generally feel this way about this type of tool (cutting/sawing) when it comes to home/DIYer usage. I'm not that bothered by plugging in a saw if I need to make cuts. For me, circular, recip, miter, table saws and routers are tools that I would only get corded (unless the cordless version has better performance and is cheaper).
