As the owner of 3", 6.5", 7.25", 10" and 12" saws in all sorts of varieties...I can't justify this oddball size...but it does look nice and light for the right application.

Personally, I think that the smallest saw that is still big enough to get through a 2x is the sweet spot. I might need to ditch my 5-3/8" and get one of these.

Yeah, I mean. It looks useful for sure. I just can't even "man math" it for me with all these others. Looks like the perfect spot for the nuke line though. Although. I can't imagine there is a huge market for blades? I don't recall ever seeing this particular size before.

Yes, it is an odd size, but it is same as Dewalt Atomic circular saw and HomeDepot has Diablo blades for it

You can return the battery for $60, so the bare tool will be $85.
