I needed a circular saw for a number of projects and as I already had a Bosch drill that took the same batteries, and I had two batteries, I eventually decided to purchase this after reading many reviews. Honestly, it was a genuinely hard decision as I was initially sceptical of the battery thing, but swayed by how well the drill has lasting on a charge.I needn’t have worried.The quality of the cut and the ease of using the tool over long cut runs without worrying about cables has really impressed me. I’ve not seen any of the little issues that others have reported. I’m also impressed with the guide rail. it tightens easily and genuinely runs smoothly, which is more than I can say for my old circular saw.As a final note, Bosch do an extended warranty if the device is registered within four weeks of purchase.All in all, I’m rather pleased.

I bought this to add to other Bosch units and utilise all my batteries. Luckily I bought this during the Bosch offer and they sent me a new 3ah battery free. Nice touch! I cut 60 x 3.6m and 8 x 4.8m 22mm decking boards with this new saw. Some people comment on straightness of cut or alignment. I had no issues. There is a clear v or mark on the leading edge between the red plastic guide. The v doesn’t move. It’s the constant and I used this for alignment easily. No out of line cuts. The saw rips well and managed some very narrow rips/trimmed edges. The power was adequate and the saw didn’t struggle to cut dry wood. It did slow and nearly stop on wetter sections. My corded saw did the same to a lesser degree. This saw worked much better than I expected at this price point. It’s a good amateur saw, a back-up trade saw or trade light use saw for tight spaces? If you let the blade do the work and control the speed (your push) I doubt you’ll have any problems. The cutting depths are accurate in terms of published spec. I cut out old joists and cut hundreds of off cuts when I was finishing off. As for battery life, well it depends on what you use. I preferred the 2.5ah battery over the 1.5ah. I’ve just received the 3ah it’s double the size and weight of the standard battery but not too heavy to handle. I was getting 20-30 mins on lowest capacity battery and nearer 40 on larger. Constant cutting and trimming. One on the charger one on the saw. The batteries charge quickly. I have two Bosch charges not sure about their spec. But had no issues of no charge no cutting. This saw cuts fence boards and rips them cleanly. I’ve only replaced a few but the saw was up for the job. Blade feels sharp after all of the above use. I guess I could file it to sharpen it but for the price and to reduce any risk of splitting I’ll just order a new one when necessary. Not sure how much??

Got for my husband when his old one went funny, he says it is a great thing, light and easy to use.

I followed the instructions and found this saw was perfectly what I expected

Cuts much the same as a “professional” cordless circular saw. The main difference between this and the professional version is that the pro version is more durable, and so more suited to frequent use.Note that as is the case with all cordless circular saws, it does not have as much torque as a corded saw. So, you must ensure that your work-piece is fully supported, at both ends, when cutting, to avoid blade jamming.It comes with an 18-tooth blade, for fast rough cutting in all types of wood. The blade can be tilted for mitre cuts, and can be raised or lowered for adjusting the depth of the cut.This is the naked-tool only, it doesn’t come with a battery, charger or case.Good value for money, at less than half the price of the pro version.

I’ve been using this for a few months now. It’s good that it’s portable. I have a lot of other Bosch tools, so it’s great having the batteries already etc.However, on a thick piece of wood or wood with knots, it conks out. It can get through quite a lot and it’s pretty tough, but it’s not the most powerful.I’d still get it again I reckon, it’s not the end of the world and you just reset it and go again and it gets through it, but it’s a bit annoying so I thought I’d share.I use it for a lot of things, so I’d still highly rate it for general jobs. It’s one of the best power tools I’ve purchased, but if you’re doing a LOT of work with it, you might want to consider something with more power

Bought to hack up the bits of a dead shed we took down – was ideal for it.Being clumsy, I have a habit on munching through power cables, so rechargeable was ideal!

Already had two batteries from a drill brilliant so now able to cut wood outside without dragging an extension lead and running for cover before being electrocuted lol
