8 Best Circular Saws for Today’s Building Boom




BEST VALUE CORDLESS

Hart HPCS25

Volts: 20 | Weight: 8.4 lb

HPCS25 Circular Saw
  • Safety latch is friendly to both right- and left-handed people
  • Helpful lock button for swapping blades
  • Thermal shutoff prevents it from powering through some wood

We test homeowner and professional circular saws the same way. In the case of this 20-volt Hart, that meant cutting Douglas fir framing lumber, sawing through the 1.5-inch thickness and also with the board turned on edge so the blade was fully submerged at its maximum depth in the lumber. Our verdict: You won’t confuse this saw with one used to frame houses; push it too hard and you’ll trip its thermal cutoff. But it’s got enough oomph for cutting some lumber, including a 4 x 4. We liked the lock button (officially, the spindle lock); press it to hold the blade in place to more quickly turn off the nut that tightens down on the blade. We also liked its safety latch, which is easy to work whether you’re right- or left-handed.

BEST BUDGET SAW

Craftsman CMES500

Amperage: 13 | Weight: 7.8 lb

CMES500 Circular Saw
  • Powerful
  • The blade and the edge of the shoe are slightly off parallel

The Craftsman renaissance is real. Since Stanley Black & Decker (also the owner of DeWalt) bought the company, Craftsman tools have been improving. We’ve always liked the brand, and we were very pleased to find this saw carrying on a capable tradition of high-quality power tools. It’s about a pound lighter than the Skil above. That may not sound like much, but it can make a work day go a little bit easier, especially given that you’re probably also moving lumber and hammering nails. Yes, the Craftsman’s motor is a bit smaller than the Skil in terms of its amperage, but the cutting performance between the two tools is negligible. That Skil ranked slightly higher for us due to the fact that the edge of the CMES500’s shoe isn’t quite parallel to the blade, creating minor inaccuracy when you run the saw along a square in crosscuts or use a long straight edge for rips. Fortunately, if you apply a little extra due diligence, you can keep the saw cutting true.
