BLACK+DECKER BDCCS18N-XJ 18 V Circular Saw

Marvellous power tool, very easy to use and cuts through wood effortlessly.Not heavy to hold and cuts accurately, put a heavy duty 4ah battery on and will work for about an hour. Very pleased with this saw.

I like everything about this saw, very light weight to use, very powerful. It cuts clean and Quick. Only used it for cutting floor boarding, pine boards and some solid oak panels and never lost any power. Battery life is good, depends what you cut.

As a DIY tool this saw is pretty good, with one big exception. I didn't think it was possible to buy a circular saw which did not include a parallel guide, also known as a rip fence. It is after all just two small pieces of metal welded together. I called the B&D customer advice people, who were as helpful as they could be; only to find that while the saw baseplate has the fittings for a guide, the guide is not included. Worse still, B&D do not make one to buy; but it was added that the guides of other manufacturers might fit – at extra cost. I needed to cut fixed width lengths off 9mm ply boards in straight lines. However, without a guide the B&D saw was unfit for my simple purpose, so it went back under Amazon’s customer friendly returns policy. For my use the saw would rate one star, but I would give it four as a steer for other buyers who might not need to cut fixed widths in straight lines. It would benefit from a case, though the info made it clear that one was not included. However, it fits into a DeWalt IV Tstack box. My only other suggestion for the B&D design team is that with very little modification the saw could be made as an alternative to take the B&D 36V batteries, which would give it a much better performance.

Easy to use, highly portable

The media could not be loaded. I was happy like a child when the package arrived, but I was terribly disappointed because I cut four boards and it stopped working, ehh. I thought it was the battery, but it doesn't work on four other batteries either. So it's damaged

Great little machine, for a cordless circular saw it has real bite and is really easy to use. Solid construction and another dependable partner for my tool box

Product arrived but without a battery. Annoying !The marketing does mention in small print no battery on box but otherwise one can be led to believe that a battery is included !! annoying marketing.

Comes with a blade - under all the packaging!
