Bought this some time ago, and we use them at my job as a contractor. Smaller and easier to carry in a crowded work truck, durable, and works with all your DeWalt batteries. Great saw for daily or occasional use that cuts accurately and safely, without the hassle of corded equipment. If you already use DeWalt products, this is an excellent addition. ... show more

Great product
Size: 6-1/2-Inch Style: Tool Only
I really like this little cordless circular saw. Works great and less bulky than a plug-in circular saw, cuts are no problems. I did upgrade the blade to a Diablo blade though and that seems to work a little bit better than the original

It's definitely a saw

Not the review you really want, because I have yet to use it. But holding it and playing with it, it's top notch. Love my DeWALT

Great little circ saw, but mine had needed help
Size: 6-1/2-Inch Style: Tool Only
The DeWalt DCS565B is a great 6-1/2" circular saw. Excellent features, size, power, and weight. The primary complaint I have, which is not an insignificant one, is what I had to do in order to calibrate the saw so that it cuts square (i.e., 90-degrees). While this saw does have an adjustable set screw that allows you to calibrate the shoe for a perfect 90-degree cut, my saw could not achieve a perfect 90-degrees and was off by about 1/32". The shoe set screw needed to be backed out all the way, or so I thought. I backed the set screw out all the way thinking it would provide the range of adjustment I needed for the shoe to achieve 90-degrees, but it didn't work. I soon realized that the set screw was not the limiting factor, and instead one of the ribs on the topside of the shoe was contacting the underside of the motor housing. So there was no way I could get the shoe to a perfect 90-degrees without filing down the rib that was making contact with the motor housing. It's not the end of the world, but it does reflect poorly on DeWalt's quality control. Another criticism is that I wish the dust extractor attachment was not proprietary for DeWalt vacuums only. That's a jerk move, IMO. I knew this was the case before buying the saw, so it's not a surprise, just a critique. But make no mistake, once you get this saw all dialed in, it's fantastic. ... show more

Solid addition to the toolbox
Size: 6-1/2-Inch Style: Tool Only
Lightweight and easy to use. Pretty good power behind it to but so far I've only used it to cut through 2x4s and 2x6s but didn't deal with any binding. Solid battery life though even when on a 4ah battery which helps with keeping it light. Overall got it on sale so it was definitely a good value for what I got it for. ... show more

A light weight powerhouse
Size: 6-1/2-Inch Style: Tool Only
I was hesitant to buy this, but for me the price point is much better than that of the 7.25 inch saw. The saw is light weight, has electronic braking and powerful enough not to notice any lack of performance with its use. I don't see an urgent need for an extra 3/8 of cutting capacity at 90°.
