What should I pay for a cordless circular saw?

That claim would be a lot more convincing if there were more than two bids on the item.

Nothing -- it's yours already, isn't it? I mean, this is the second time you've come here shilling for the same items...

You should never bid till the last 1minute on ebay,set your self an exact amount you want to go to and stick at that. If you're outbid,so what there will be others.

Go buy it now. ;-) from same seller.

$0. Cordless circular saws are useless.

Looks like a scam somwhere? look at the seller I posted, the pics are the same.

Another take:

I've got a $75 9.6v, 3/something-inch, Makita, with an aftermarket blade, that's very handy. I can take it out to the trailer to rough out sheet goods on the floor (on pink foam), and it normally lives at my stock rack for cutting rough lumber to length.

The little Makita wouldn't be half as useful if it had a tail.

For framing, etc... I also prefer an A/C version.

The three tool kit (drill, saw, flashlight with two batteries and the charger) can be purchased at Home Depot for $99. The saw alone without the batteries or charger at Home Depot is listed for $60 new.

If I could only own one circ saw it would definitely have a cord, but I seriously disagree about the cordless saws being useless. Since I've had one, it's saved me lots of time & energy, and there have been many occasions when I brought it out for a quick job that I would have postponed or skipped simply because It would take longer to drag out

Wrong!!!

They come >>I am interested in buying a cordless circular saw I saw on ebay (

Do you know how to check the completed auctions to get a h andle on what the items are sellig for?

I seems the going price is about $16 unless you want one with a laser, they are going for about $21.

It's not worth the shipping charge.

The sellers feed back sucks. I wouldn't buy from them. Bidding is at $7.00!!!! How cheap are you???

Check the price of a new one at Home Depot and bid up to 3/4 the price of a new one including shipping.

TBM,

I use a Dewalt Cordless saw in my business almost everyday and it works very well. Maybe you should buy better tools.

Well, I guess if you had about 10 batteries charged then you could cut about

TBM,

I can do that with one battery.

TBM,

You are right about the Ryobi not have much of a battery life.

Like cm said...

I have a DeWalt cordless 6.5" and on a full battery charge I can make at least 8 full length 8ft rips of 3/4" plywwod. I Imagine the number of 2X4s you could cut off would be over a hundred easy.

I wouldn't buy ANYTHING from someone with a feedback rating like that. --dave

First off, I wouldn't own anything made by Ryobi. Secondly I wouldn't have a cordless tool that I wanted to last. Want to use it for a few years and toss it? Fine. Don't expect that tool to be useable after 7 or more years. Third, the power available is not as high as corded tools. Forth, the cordless tools are heavier than it's corded counterpart.

Cordless tools are fine as long as you realize you have to replace the batteries periodically. I predict that there will be a glut of cordless tools on the market in a few years that need new batteries. The batteries aren't cheap either.

As with all things, your mileage may vary.

Good luck.
