    One of the most argued tool topics in modern construction is the sidewinder vs the worm drive circular saw.
    Whatever the reasoning, today there’s a lot of cordless circular saws out there but none of them come close to the worm drive in design or power, until now.
    MAKITA 7-1/4” CIRCULAR SAW 18V XSR01
    Makita has a new cordless cutting solution for framers, form contractors and carpenters. They developed a rear handled 7-1/4” saw and powered it with two 18-volt batteries.
    The Makita 7-1/4” rear-handled 18-volt circular saw is designed to cut the cord on a framing jobsite and offer a real cordless solution for worm drive users.

    Home Depot has a hack for this right now. I got the saw and 2 batteries for $150. If you add this kit plus 2 additional batteries (free) to your cart it reduces it to $150 for the saw and batteries and the additional batteries are $99. Total is $250 and then you can return the additional batteries which makes the saw kit for only $150. Bargain for 2 5ah batteries and the saw!

    I just got this saw and I’m completely blown away with how well it works. Makita seriously thought about everything and made a game changer. Best purchase I’ve made in a very long time.

    I just bought this kit from Home Depot for 250$ and they throw in a two pack of 5.0 amp hour batteries so the saw, dual charger, and (4) 5.0 amp hour batteries all for 250. Winning

    I'm just a homeowner / weekend warrior and I'm constantly blown away at what the big tool makers are doing with 18v lithium ion power tools and now outdoor power equipment. Its a good time to be a consumer with all these great options. thanks for the great consistent videos, would love to see longer tool on tap videos. Kudos from NC

    This saw is the most impressive cordless tool our company has ever purchased! It performs and handles so closely to a corded model and the runtime is impressive to boot. $360 is a fair price imho. Thank you Makita and great review guys!

    Looks solid, i'll probably never need such a large circular saw but its nice and a bit mind boggling to see what the tool companies are doing now days. Innovation on top of innovations.

    I love makita tools they never let me down, I've got the normal 36v saw but I wish I had that one looks great.

    OK anyone wondering if this saw is worth buying, stop 2nd guessing this saw , I own 3 personally and 4 of my employees have also purchased their own, I'm not exaggerating this saw in my opinion is better than every corded saw I own and I have 14 corded saws, skill, bosch, milwaukee, dewalt and 1 makita hypoid, I haven't used any of my other saws as soon as there was enough of these saws on our jobsite, I did do a few modifications , I drilled a tiny hole in the safety thumb button and slid a 7/16 crown staple into the hole then clipped off any extra material this allows us to use this saw in any position, 1 more thing any of you crazy framers out there that reverse cut into lumber ie. backing the saw into the wood on a bevel , and have maybe experienced that extremely dangerous kick back from inserting into the wood to fast or the wood shifting, this saw can do those reverse cuts easily, the power is amazing, the blade brake is weird the first day you use it but becomes a godsend, we pin our guards most of the time ( also a modification we do to all saws is drill through the blade guard near the BL logo high enough to miss the blade by 1/4 inch and insert an 8 penny galvanized nail into the hole bend it over on the back side and it slides back and forth about 3/8's of an inch to allow for a secure guard pin and release) my stress of my guys pinning guards and cutting then lowering the saw to a table floor or near their leg or whatever has nearly disappeared because of the quick blade brake absolutely love that feature, 1 last modification I did to better the saw was I used a small triangle file and put every 1 degree increments on the bevel gauge , it took 15 minutes to do this on each saw but increased the accuracy of bevel cuts for my apprentice carpenters. If you use worm drive saws buy this saw you will love it. 1 draw back, yep there is 1. the retractable saw guard is not magnesium and is fragile 1 of my saws took a 6ft drop and it bent and cracked the guard at the arbor point, I firmly grasped the guard and forced it straight again and haven't had a problem with it but I know if that saw gets dropped too many more times that guard is gonna break, I have some saws that have withstood 20 ft drops this saw I don't think would survive that abuse but time will tell, , also my 8 employees have been using these saws for 8 months now and my profit on projects has gone up absolutely a game changer.

    Thanks for this informative review. Was looking at the Milwaukee and Dewalt rear handed saws and noticed this saw from Makita on sale. Going to pick it up tomorrow and the kit also comes with 2 extra 5amh batteries. Love this channel.
