I know this is an old deal but I am seeing the brushless kit at the local HD for $99 "while supplies last."

I would get a 7 1/4 because the blades are more common. In fact, I own this saw in 7 1/4 and think the saw is fantastic. So easy to use.

I’ve been watching this… the original deal appears dead but they have had a combo with a regular 4Ah battery for $129 off and on. Now it looks like it’s $119 for a limited time.
How much...

Yes it is. The person that said its a "toy" has not answered to tell us what circ saw and bats he actually has. I hope he realizes his "toy" can cut his arm off.

That's what I had thought too. I was wrong. A Japanese saw like the double sided Ryoba will make quick work of resizing a 2x4 or making quick cuts in plywood to fit it around the many obstructions...

At this point there are many cordless circular saws that perform as good or better than their corded brethren. You tube is full of comparison videos. I have't used my corded Skill saw in I don't know...

Hmm, a Japanese hand saw is a strange tool to use for those cuts. Generally it's a specialized tool for undercuts and finish work.

I agree, which is why I still own my corded saw. I know the day will come that I'll need it. With my luck that day is usually the day after I sell it lol
BTW, I got my Milwaukee 6.5" off Ebay...

Ironically the only part that has ever hurt me on a table saw was the anti-kickback device (no the table saw was not running at the time).

Been this price for a while now. I bought it in Aug for this price.
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...

I haven't had a chance to use the Milwaukee version but, like most of that brand's wares, I have no doubt it is an excellent tool - at a premium. I suspect we'd agree that comparing a corded and...

Your points are all fair and well received. 'Worthless' was a bit strong of an adjective and I will retract it here. Perhaps I should have said 'worth less to me than...' 😉 I think you distilled the...

Completely disagree. I have a Milwaukee 6.5" M18 and I haven't touched my corded saw since. Unless I'm cutting 4x4 or 6x6 posts the cordless handles everything I throw its way. I also find it bucks...

I have both corded and battery powered saws. Once upon a time I may have been in your camp but to call a cordless saw worthless is really not true at all.
Corded = more utility to cost, yes...
