Reddit reviews DEWALT 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Electric Brake, 15-Amp (DWE575SB)

When I'm going to purchase something rather pricey on Amazon. I just refresh the product page a couple times a day for a couple days. I've done this for multiple items and there almost always seems to be a random temporary price drop.

The price drop only lasts a short time before it goes back to the normal selling price though. I've bought a circular saw for $95 that was selling for $150 and most recently a graphics card for $125 instead of $160.

It's not from other sellers either it's just a price drop for some reason. YMMV.

EDIT: The saw was regularly $139 and dropped to $103.

Always gotta check if you can. I picked up DWE575SB on Amazon for $89
a couple weeks ago. [CamelCamelCamel] (https://camelcamelcamel.com/) is super helpful when you can wait.

Are you only looking for compactness in size or maybe just weight? I got the DeWalt DWE575SB circular saw for Christmas and it's awesome. It's 7-1/4" but only eight pounds or so. It's really light and cuts like a dream. It also has the electric brake so the blade stops spinning really quickly.

I did a bunch of research a few months back and landed on this one as well. The electric brake is awesome. It's $125 right now but I think I paid around $105 when I got it.

Having just put in a raised garden in the last 3 weeks, I used this saw and just about any cordless drill will get the job done for drilling pilot holes/driving screws.

You could get a speed square, as mentioned, for straight cuts with the saw. I'd recommend it as they're cheap enough.

I used deck screws because why not. The garden was for my wife and I got extra points for using higher quality screws.
