Ratings & Reviews for BLACK+DECKER 20-volt Max 5-1/2-in Cordless Circular saw (Battery Not Included and Charger Not Included)

This is my go-to saw when on the job. I run a small handyman business and this saw has done its fair share of work. I mostly repair handrails and do small deck repairs and this saw will cut through a 4x4 at an angle with ease. Great saw that does the job that is for sure!

Great cordless saw, helped me rip a 2 X 4 right down the middle.

replacement blades

Impossible to find new circular saw blades for. Will never purchase a black and decker product again

Disappointed daughter

When I first purchased this saw it worked great. I built a nice little corner table and basic wood cutting. I hadn’t used it for a couple of months because I work out in the oilfield and only get 4 days off and work 9days straight. I was just at home and was going to build my daughter a desk for her homeschooling but when I tried to use the saw it didn’t want to turn on anymore. The last time I used it worked fine but now I can’t get it running. It was a disappointment to tell my daughter I coul...

Should have trusted other reviewers

This was handy when rough cutting small squared pieces of soft wood. Once I tried to do more things with it, things went downhill quickly. Changing to a higher teeth count blade for smoother finish made the saw stop before finishing the smallest cut, even through 1x3/4in spruce. Plywood was a nightmare and what is making me write this review is the fact that I came back here and a review I dismissed was actually predicting my future with the tool (by andrewr): the shoe is slightly crooked.

good service

Just right for those small project.

Took me a while to get the blade in place. Worked great. Smooth and light weight.

What a RIP!!!

I thought I was getting such a great deal...until I read the fine print after I made the order. This is a striped down model. You have to pay extra for battery and charger. So this great deal turns into a money grab. Tried to candle it and they won't do it.

Wouldl not cut straight even using a guide

Ciruclar saw BDCCS20 20 volt saw. Tried to make a 32 inch cut across a piece of 1/2 inch plywood, using the guide in the shoe or base plate. Started the cut fine but the blade walked off 1/4 inch. The shoe hardware is flimsy allowing the shoe to wobble. The shaft the blade bolts to wobbles and is a bit loose. I used a guide to make the second cut and same issue. The 1.5 AH battery leaves a lot to be desired, better have quite a few batteries charged and ready to go. The cordless drill and impac ...

Black and Decker, better price with same quality.

Black and Decker always quality, Every thing included with saw in box. Easy usage.

Weak!

I purchased after being VERY happy with my B&D drill and impact drivers and I wanted other tools that used the same batteries and bought this and a reciprocating saw. First cuts with this circular saw were terrible. It was so weak, on a fully charged battery, it could not cut through a simple 1/2" sheet without stopping many, many times. Because of this, it and the reciprocating saw will both be going back. I'll still use B&D for my drills and drivers but I will look elsewhere for saws.

No thrills finishing saw

Hopefully you have other 20v max batteries, does not include battery or charger. Comes with a very coarse saw blade, by no way a finishing blade

Love it!

Works great! I do wish it came with a battery.. First time user/buyer and didn't realize. Would've been more convenient. But it does work great!

Cheap plastic safety shield

The front retracting tip of the cheap plastic blade guard broke-off the first time I used it. To me it looks like a weak point that should be better designed. A good heavy plastic epoxy fixed it. On the plus side, I love the fact that the B&D 20v batteries work on all the B&D cordless tools I own.
