18-19v Cordless Circular Saws - This analysis represents what we feel is the sweet spot for power and price for cordless circular saws. While they don't compare in power to a corded tool and can't operate continuously for very long, they have sufficient torque and battery life for most jobs. Keep an eye out for Li-Ion powered tools. As the emerging technology they promise better power and lighter weight than the more common NiCad or NiMH batteries.

The average grade of the 59 models in the 18-19v Cordless Circular Saws analysis is B. The 341 products in the Circular Saws category have an average letter grade of B. The seperate product links have more data on each model.
