Not enough Makita deals out there. Thanks OP! I am seeing more of these battery operated nailers around. They are pricey, but they seem to be gaining popularity quickly. Thanks.

The saw is great, no questions, but there is something about it I want to mention - the blade is located at the right side of the saw, just make sure it works for you, because all other saws I have, and I have around 6 or 7 different saws - they all have blade at the left.

The blade on the right is standard, the blade on the left is considered a left hand saw and is more rare. Though, many of the battery powered saws do seem to have them on the left too now. I think for most people it feels better being on the left, but for many of us who have had one in our hands 4 hours a day for 35 years, the blade on the right is pretty ingrained in to our beings and feel more natural.

As a righty, I prefer blade left when free handing cuts but it certainly channels the sawdust straight into my shoes.

That is what AI says: Left-blade saws (common on cordless/worm drives) generally offering better visibility for right-handed users to see the cut line and blade, while right-blade saws (traditional corded) are often preferred for certain tasks like trimming, though they can obscure the line. The best choice depends on your dominant hand and cutting style (e.g., cutting sheet goods vs. framing), but many right-handed users find left-blade saws superior for accuracy and control

I have both left and right. I am right handed and the mechanics favor a right side blade location. You have better control and more strength twisting your wrist in versus out. With a blade on the left and being right handed, you are applying force to twist your wrist out. Second, the sawdust discharge will be directed at you so if you have a tool belt, you will fill it with saw dust.

I found it to be a regional preference. Circular saws are popular in the Midwest and most blades are on the right. For some reason, on either coast, the worm drive saws perfected by SKIL is popular and the blade is on the left. I was told it has to do with the handle location behind the saw versus the handle on top of the saw.

Basically a lifetime tool, minus the batteries it eats.

I would agree with that. We always had a worm drive handy, but rarely pulled it out. Most of the times just for demo when we needed the extra power. I hated the weight of the worm drive, and even went to the smaller Ridgid Fuego when I was still framing. Now since I just trim, on the rare occasion I need a circular saw, I just grab the little cordless one.

Typically the user holds the board in the air and uses the weight of the worm drive saw to cut the board down towards the ground, I think that is the main reason for the handle being behind the saw. Many of the real ol'timers still prefer that way.

I have 2 circular saws, both have blades on the left. Makita trim saw, and DeWalt worm drive. Left side blade is better for right handed use as it allows easier visibility of the cut. I don't think blade on the right is standard. I have used a Milwaukee trim saw with the blade on the right, and found it awkward, I am right handed.

I can run either left or right without problems. Most saws are pretty well designed with the handle position close enough in line with the blade or the center weight of the saw. If I was encountering enough resistance that it was giving me wrist strain, I would two hand or change hands, but I've never encountered that. Usually my entire forearm is in line with the cut, and my shoulder is at least in the same vertical plane as the blade.
