Why We Love This Deal

One idea people sometimes have about battery-powered electric power tools is that they aren’t powerful enough when compared to gas or corded models. That sentiment is fading as people get used to the emerging electric tool market and see the true power behind these models. At the same time, companies like DeWalt are also pushing the needle forward, with 60V tools like this circular saw, which you can get on sale right now at Walmart.

The DeWalt Flexvolt Max 60V Circular Saw is 37% off its $299 MSRP. It ships fast and free from Walmart, but if you’d rather use your Amazon Prime benefits and feel more comfortable with shopping on Amazon, you can get the DeWalt Flexvolt Max 60V Circular Saw on Amazon for around the same price.

What Shoppers Should Know

  • Voltage: 60V
  • Size: 7-1/4 inch
  • Max Cut Depth: 2-9/16 inches
  • Max Speed: 5,800 RPM
  • Brushless?: Yes
  • Powered By: DeWalt Flexvolt batteries (not included)
  • Model: DCS578B
  • Best Use Case: A higher-powered alternative to other battery-powered circular saws.

The DeWalt Flexvolt Max 60V Circular Saw is the one to buy if you’re among those who cannot get enough power out of traditional battery-powered circular saws but can’t stomach the thought of going back to a corded model. It spins up to 5,800 RPM, generating intense power to cut into whatever you introduce it to. As should be guessed with that kind of spin power, this is a brushless tool, making for a long time and efficient power consumption.

There’s really only one thing to be confused about when it comes to this saw. And that’s how to power it. It’s a DeWalt Flexvolt saw, so surely that means you can be flexible with whichever battery you choose to use with it, right? Incorrect. It is, in fact, the DeWalt Flexvolt batteries that are flexible, being compatible with both DeWalt 20V and DeWalt 60V tools. This tool, a very powerful 60V tool, must be paired with a DeWalt Flexvolt battery.

What Shoppers Are Saying

One reviewer called it “a must have for any contractor,” adding, “Packed with power in a lightweight, portable, easy to use design. Cuts through wet 2X pressure treated all day on one battery.”

Another user said, “It cuts like a red-hot knife through already melting butter, and hasn't bogged down or kicked back yet.” Others commented to say that they felt that it gave out the same amount of power as a corded saw, with some Redditors saying that it’s “better than 95% of corded saws.”

The DeWalt Flexvolt Max 60V Circular Saw is just $187 while this offer lasts.
