Worx Nitro 20V Brushless 4-1/2" Cordless Circular Saw, Compact Circular Saw, Up to 6,900 RPM, 0-46° Bevel Cuts, Circular Saw Cordless WX531L – Battery & Charger Included

I’ve purchased 3 different Worx tools and this has not disappointed. It’s a small 4 1/2 but cut through a 2x no problem. Light weight, long battery life, quality made product. I am a big fan of Worx tools. You won’t regret buying.

Very impressed. Super lightweight and great handle feel and safety switch positioning (a huge fail on so many of these little saws). Plenty of power. Barely enough depth to cut a 2x4, but it does and does so effortlessly.Originally I bought one of the off brand models from amazon, but sent it back. It was inferior in every way, especially ergonomics. A huge handle that was too big (and i have large hands), poorly placed safety switch, and mediocre power and operation. Poor ergonomics = dangerous to use. No good.I bought the similar Skil model at the same time I bought the Worx expecting i could make good use of two saws for different purposes. The skil seemed well made, but was defective. Motor seized up after a couple cuts. I believe this to be a one off issue, but a concern none the less. So, wasn't able to actually use it, but in comparison to the Worx, the Worx was the better saw in terms of size, definitely smaller, weight, noticeably lighter, and ergonomics. The Skil handle shape is good, very small, but fine, but the safety switch placement is less than ideal but not terrible. Not nearly as seamless to use as the Worx. So, it got sent back but it was validation for me the worx was the best choice. The Skil might have been more powerful had it worked because of a slightly larger motor, not sure but the priority for me was size, ergonomics, and effectiveness. I use it for cutting siding doing window replacement and misc use and it's excellent. If i need more, I'll use a full size circular saw but this little guy is the go to for most tasks.

I looked at several brands of these small cordless saws and I’m glad I bought Worx saw. It powers through 2x4s and 3/4” plywood just fine. The saws handle is easy on the wrist so less hand and wrist fatigue. The depth and angle adjustments thumb knobs are easy to operate. The battery life provides plenty of power to cut a bunch of 2x4s before recharge.I bought this Worx cordless saw to bridge the gap when I just need to saw a few things around the house instead of breaking out the big DeWalt corded circular saw.

I don't know if I got a lemon but my saw constantly cuts out even when cutting fairly thin wood around half inch to 3/4 in. It keeps stopping every couple seconds. At first I thought the battery maybe is already going even though it's fairly new or I needed a bigger battery with more amps. So I bought one with 5 amps and I still had the same issue. I can't solve for more than two seconds without it constantly shutting off which is really annoying when you need to cut long plywood. I don't think it's the battery because I purchased a bigger 5 amp battery and that one did the same thing. So it might be something with the auto shut off feature and it's prematurely shutting off.

I bought this saw for my husband, and he LOVES it! It's so easy to use, and it can do so many things for such a small saw. I'm so glad I bought this because I'm finally getting things done!
