Amazon.com Review
Versatile, lightweight, and super-compact, this 3-3/8-inch cordless circular saw is the perfect cordless tool for cutting tasks too big for the handsaw yet too small for a standard circular saw. Great for cutting sheets, trim, rows of dowels, flooring, you name it, this saw handles anything from remodeling in tight quarters to trimming down material for craftwork. The kit includes the battery and charger so you're up and running out of the box. The saw features a tilting base for bevel cutting up to 45 degrees. A no-load speed of 1,000 rpm's means this handy little 3-3/8-inch saw gets the cutting done quickly. The saw is just over a foot long and weighs just 4 pounds for easy handling in tight quarters and at awkward angles. An adjustable cutting depth to 55/65 inches at 90 degrees and 45/64 inches at 45 degrees lets you take on a wide variety of tasks. A blade lock prevents slippage and offers faster blade changes. A comfortable, non-slip grip ensures better control. And, with the optional diamond wheel and water supply kit (sold separately), this saw cuts tile and glass. Your purchase includes the combination blade, hex wrench, battery, and charger. --Brian D. Olson Applications:

 great saw September 12, 2009

This is a very useful saw. Battery life is good, blade life is good, it gets into places our other saws can't. Light in weight so it is easy to use over shoulder height, as we are cutting soffit boards. Highly recommended for those tight spots where a hand saw just isn't enough
a lot more power than one would think possible July 23, 2009

I was very pleasantly surprised by the power and battery life of this trim saw. I have used it on soft woods as a trim saw but also to make openings in 3/8" plywood where I did not feel safe using a full sized circular saw (in case of kickback I did not want to get thrown off the ladder). This saw just keeps going and going. It does take quite a while to recharge the battery when it is drained so a second battery is an important consideration.
I have not found any blades designed for plastic sheet for this size saw but if the blade is put on backwards so the back of the teeth hit the sheet it can work well even with brittle acrylic sheet materials.
I would caution against loaning it out as you will have a hard time getting it back.
Reliable, durable little workhorse...great for its day....and now. May 31, 2009

To save reading/typing, I'll echo what M/M Larsen, Martin, and Takahashi all said. I bought mine for the exact reason of M. Larsen....
Additionally, I was in the water intrusion forensics in the mid-90s and saw someone use it on stucco to line out where to break out the stucco. They had multiple batteries and back then, the saw was a wonder.
People have to remember that in the early-mid-90s, 9.6v was state of the art. The saw seems so under powered now, but back then, it was one of the first of its kind. Makita does make a 14.4v unit.
Longevity: I used mine on site over several years and 40 water intrusion forensic jobs...inside and outside (mostly for drywall, though), and I have the original one I bought in 1996. I bought a little tool box for it and have been soooooo happy.
I retro-fitted the masonry water-drip kit and have cut tile, flagstone, brick, maybe thin concrete, and most recently....a granite countertop--all counter to "opinion" I heard today from a Home Depot whiz. Where other saws don't fit, this one does (heads in, not the long tail-end) with much less chance of overcutting--kind of important on one-time-get-it-right cuts.
It isn't good for plunge cutting (not a surprise---other saws are designed for that), and the batteries don't last long if you're doing heavy cutting. But for small, fine cuts...
Foot stomp: like the others said... get a carbide blade. Oh, charge the battery before using it "out of the box."
Handy tool October 2, 2008

Bought this as a replacement for one I wore out after many, many years of service. Handy for lots of small jobs, from sheetrock cutouts to shingling sidewalls. Be aware of the kick-back it is pretty strong. All the controls for adjustments are easy to use.
Super little tool! September 29, 2008

I'm a 75 year old widow and I still enjoy repairing things around my house. My old circular was just too heavy, so I purchased the cordless circular saw and I just love it. I love not having a cord to worry about or tripping over. LOL..at this age I sometimes forget those important things that could prove a danger to me. So now my steps (5) are looking good. Thanks Makita. I also used my Makita cordless drill to put in the screws. No strength left for hammering nails into those boards.
