    I have the prior M12 circ saw. I thought it was a piece of junk at first. Recently I had a job where I needed to make a lot of cuts with it instead of the table saw and it just was not getting the job done… went out and bought that 5.0 HO battery and now I’m quite pleased with the saw. The batteries make a difference.

      Sadly, people don't understand tools and battery tech. Regardless of brand. Like how the HO batteries increase performance in fuel tools... Few people understand. FYI, the 6ah M18 battery produces more power than the 8 or 12ah oddly. Of course doesn't last as long... But produces more power. "The Torque Channel" on CZcams is amazing if you haven't checked it out already. They test impacts, ratchets, lights, and batteries, and a bit more. Amazing channel. Great easy to understand graphs.

      @@meme5887 funny how it didn’t really occur to me considering I often grab a bigger battery for my dewalt stuff when I know I need more power than the compact batteries offer but didn’t connect the dots at all on my M12 CP batteries. But then again usually the compact dewalt ones still get the job done, unlike those compact m12s that really don’t do much at all.
      The m12 compacts quickly get eaten up by my vacuum and circ saw and give insufficient power to the circ saw. They’ve worked great on my impact driver, ratchet, staple gun, multitool, rotary tool, and pin nailer though.

      @@christophercrawford2736 Well the fact you even mentioned an m12 vacuum says it all! Haha. Vacuums are super hungry. The only way I'd consider getting and m12 vacuum is if 1) AMAZING deal. 2) If I had kids or a bigger vehicle like an SUV to keep it in as an emergency vacuum in the car. I personally have the M18 briefcase vac and love it. Specifically bought the 12ah (on a good deal obviously) for it. Although I wish I had the packout vac. Would be much better having the hose outside. And the 1.5ahs are complete wastes. Only worth anything if the tool you're buying is already a great deal regardless of it coming with a 1.5

      @@meme5887 I didn’t want to buy more batteries but really needed a vacuum for a job. Had the dewalt 20/60v batteries and the m12 batteries. The employee at the lumber store said the m12 vacuum is surprisingly often better than the m18. I decided to give it a try. I love it. The form factor and the power is way better than my dewalt vacuum I had that got stolen. I honestly pretty much never used the cord on that one even though it was dual power. And wasn’t willing to pay FlexVolt vacuum prices…

    The m12 ratchets are not supposed to brake bolts free. You brake them free by hand and then use the trigger to spin them off. If you need to brake them free you need a more powerful BIGGER SLOWER tool. You can’t have the smallest, fastest, lightest, most powerful tool all in one. Dewalts are more powerful, I have one, but they are double the size and weight
