Corded circular saw ~17-20cm

Why We Chose It

The Makita HS7610 isn't just a circular saw; it's a commitment to the subtle art of cutting things without drama. Forget the bells and whistles, this saw boasts a 14-amp motor, which translates to more power than your average blender, minus the smoothies. At 5,500 RPM, it's like a caffeinated squirrel on a mission to chew through wood. What makes it stand out in its price range? The heavy gauge aluminum base that ensures your cuts are straighter than your uncle's backhanded compliments at family dinners. Plus, the added dust nozzle accessory means you can finally see what you’re cutting, instead of guessing through a sawdust cloud. If you want reliable, straightforward performance without the fluff, this is your saw. It's not flashy, but neither are you. Probably.
