Nice score Toronto, I got the Makita 36 volt 7 1/4″ and love it, but would love to pick up that 6 1/2″ as a tool only to add to my arsenal.. Let us know what you think when you try it out. I like the Occidental as well, I have the Dead On 3″ belt and it’s super comfortable..
Ya i just got the saw as a bare tool because i alresdy have 3 4.o batterys and ya once i let’er lose il give a reportMikeyB wrote:

Yeah that BL Makita is going to be sooo slick! Cannot wait to see it come out I am thinking maybe the 18×2 for me
I almost went with the 18 x 2 but went with the brushless instead. I don’t think you will go wrong with either one man.

I love the idea of the 2×18 circ saw only reason i went 6.5 and brushless is because blades left i use warmdrives all day and im use to blade left i dont like sidewinders plus i wanted a lighter smaller option then having to pull out my heavy cordrd warmdrive for a few cuts when i do stuff at home and the 6.5 brushless circ saw from makita is basically a smaller warmdrive wen it comes to powerkruton wrote:

So on the Makita 18×2 circular saw, can it run off one battery in a pinch?

No, the 18×2 tools will only run with both packs attached.

Cool, I have the DeWalt version and it’s pretty good, a little under powered I think though. Let us know how it works for you and what you do with it.
