been wanting to add this saw to my collection... 4A batteries are a bonus. Thanks for posting.
I have it and I like mine. Lighter and easier to tote around than my corded 7 1/2 (Ridgid) one, which just sits on my shelf now.For me it does the few cuts I need here and there and with the two 4aH batteries and the charger this is a really great deal imo.
This is a no brainer to buy, unless, like me, -
A corded worm drive + the 7 1/2 18v version is already sitting on the shelf with plenty of batteries.
If it was the new saw-all .... my small milwaukee wearing out and wiaiting for Ridged version to go on sale.

This is probably the best i have been in several years, i'm talking about getting 2 batteries, the Saw and charger. Most deals are batteries or Saw but not everything at once.
Bought this same combo for 149 earlier in the month, and can't seem to get CS to price match since it's a Black Friday deal. Thankfully, my combo is still unopened so we'll see what the store says.
this or the dewalt deal at 199 or the dewalt deal at 299 with 2 5s the saw and another tool? Just can't decide. I have some of both lines already and have almost the full line of metabo as well.
Very good deal. Have this 6 1/2 circ saw and would buy again! Their is a comprehensive vid comparing milw, ryobi, dewalt... 6 1/2 circ saw's and this Ridgid is the most powerful.

This is NOT the Brushless model that was $149 w/ batteries. This is the older Brushed model.
This $117 deal is the brushless....

NM.. found it. Some reason the incorrect info came up. CS pointed to the correct deal.
I just got HD to price match this at $117 compared to $149 i bought it at last deal. They didnt want to price match because the orginal deal was buy the saw and get the batteries for free. This deal is buy the batteries and get the saw for free (face palm). They quickly refunded the difference when i told them i was going to return the used items and buy them again new at a cheaper price, good luck to others price matching.

I saw the difference of this 6 1/2" (with 2 1/4" cut) and the 7 1/2" (with 2 9/16" cut) is only 5/16" difference. I assume this 6 1/2" can easily cut a 2x4 ?
