Dewalt have the battery free for Black Friday I just picked it up
Both will do the job at the end of the day and do it well, just depends what platform one is invested in, I can't believe how far cordless technology has come
I'll stick with Milwaukee just because all my tools are on the Milwaukee platform, but both of them seem powerful!
Ya all my tools are milwaukee except for 4. Dewalt 60v skill saw,table saw, compressor and grinder. I bought into 60v just for the skill saw. Milwaukee had none of these tools available when I bought in(except smaller grinder). All I can say is the 60v power is unmatched. I don't even know were my corded saws are. I believe milwaukee has the best platforms right now 12v and 18v however I'm a firm believer in every manufacturer has that one best tool and I think its dewalt 60v skill saw. The next tools on my list are Bosch 12v max router and planer.... can you believe I just said that!!! BOSCH 12V
At the end of they day, they are the same if they do the job.
KB BUILDERS ,I got into Dewalt because of that skillsaw too,it is THE tool I was waiting for forever...
Yeah at the end of the day everyone will have their preference. I personally love the competition dewalt and Milwaukee have going on, it’s forcing the cordless tools forward at a fast pace, we have 14” electric concrete saws now from Milwaukee and the flex volt chop saw from dewalt is nuts! Great for us guys on the field for these companies to keep up the competitiveness.
Dewalt! I like the power, dust shoot, depth adjuster and the shape of it.
I want to see the added comparison of the new skill saw cordless version. I know everyone likes to stay true to their favorite brands though I want the best tool... I love my corded Skill worm drive and have used the same one for years w/o any failure!
I bought the Milwaukee, and Im very impressed so far. Great comparison video.
Tough call to make here. The detents are cool but not a deal breaker. The flex volt batteries work great but like the 12.0 M18 are very expensive. I use both brands in other tools and have been using after market batteries from amazon with great results and great prices. I can not find after market 60volt batteries. So for me the nod goes to Milwaukee. Both seem to be great tools. If I had no Milwaukee batteries I’d go with the dewalt. My 6Ah 60volt flex volt batteries do not last any longer than my 18volt Milwaukee batteries
i have both systems and I have always preferred Milwaukee but the dewalt is a much better saw to use and i think more powerful.
You can fit any m18 batteries but it will not last through the cut. So you’ll need the new special batteries.
Was about to buy Dewalt, then got all confused trying to match up batteries, volts, amps etc. Milwaukee was the more coherent option as Flexvolt is its own platform, has nothing to do with the rest of the Dewalt line. Good review.
A big part of this comparison is the battery platform that your invested in. Is one saw so much better than the other that you would invest into a all new battery platform to pick it up, probably not. However alot is to be said about Milwaukee having one type of battery that works in their entire tool line up compared to DeWalt with their FlexVolt or even Makitas 2 battery 36v tools
This is my deal. I. My opinion battery platform makes the choice for you. I won't invest in another platform unless there is no option available or i just gotta have it today in order to finish a job. Even then, i would probably buy a corded tool due to the cost, in a pinch. As you can tell, I've chosen Milwaukee as my platforms of choice due them having tools that make me money constantly without failure. To me warranty & failure rate makes a difference as i will pay more for a great tool that just works with no issues for years then the new hotness. That is why corded tools are still around......40 years later!
Exactly, Ben. Furthermore, all the big dogs make good quality tools by today's standard, one particular tool may have the specs that you want, or the feel that you prefer, but by the time you purchase your second tool or second "spare" battery, you're what I call platform committed. If someone out there has the money and desire to pick and choose tools to the point where they're the cordless tool melting point, more power to you! In today's cordless world, I think that you are in a league all your own. The real value of reviewers, builders' and tool peddlers is helping the plebians begin their path to platform commitment. I'm DeWalt committed, though there are some Milwaukees I wish were in my garage. It just ain't meant to be at this point. That said, I started with 9.6v Makita, followed by 14.4 Porter Cable, landing on today's 20v Dewalt. In the name of full disclosure, I operate firearms professionally, I have always worked with tools alongside topnotch tradesmen, though.
Replying late. Just watched a video of a guy running the smaller AH batteries in this Milwaukee saw and they over heated immediately just about it. While it my be compatible, it doesn’t work.
@@addisonestes1219 Good point Addison. Unless you are running 12 AH batteries on all of your tools, you are for practical purposes running two different battery platforms. The 18 volt that you use on most of your tools is probably not going to work well on this saw.
Drew T exactly. So to an extent your current platform doesn’t really matter since the saws don’t come with batteries in most cases
Love how ppl try to knock dewalt for flexvolt and separate batteries but yet with the m18 stuff and newer more powerful tools still always getting the high output batteries because they know the tool aint that great without a high output. Works in a pinch but for daily construction use everybody and brand is in the same boat. We all need newer more powerful batteries to keep up with these newer more powerful tools
Milwaukee is the way to go. The sight line alone is a big deal, plus you're not forced to get a whole new set of batteries like the Dewalt forces you to do.
You can hear the difference between the saws while cutting. The Milwaukee sounds like it bugs down quite a bit more. I'm a fan of whichever tool makes me money. I do not mind the Flex Volt element, of having to buy a new battery to run the DeWalt saw, since these new batteries offer more AH while running at 18v and are backwards compatible with other 18v DeWalt tools. Nice video.
Its comes as a kit so you dont have to buy new batteries
well...what I see as a big advantage with the Milwaukee is that it takes any M18 battery. This is perfect if you are already on the M18 platform
"any M18 battery" is misleading. This saw will quickly put any M18 battery into thermal overload except the 8HO and HD12. That's only 2 batteries that are realistically usable with this saw. Whereas the DeWalt will work perfectly with any of the 3 (now 4) flexvolt batteries.
@@schm147 I agree completely. This "one battery runs every tool" nonsense needs to stop. Small batteries can't run big tools. Period.
Sweet head to head bro
Thanks for the review!
I'm a contractor/rope access tech and I bought into Milwaukee because of the 12v lineup but as my needs grew the 18v lineup came into play. Now I'm slowly transitioning to Dewalt. When I see a side by side comparison like this I don't think it looks like one beats the other. Where the win comes for me is with service. I can drive 10 minutes to the Dewalt service center (have never had to) where as with Milwaukee I've had to mail out multiple tools for electronic issues. I lose them for a solid month since I have to ship it to Mississippi for repairs. That probably doesn't matter as much for the DIY folks but for me, it's a huge deal! Glad they are both battling each other for top dog. We all win when that happens.
Thanks for the feedback Bryan!!!
What’s been your experience with the M-12 line? I’ve got all Dewalt 20v and FlexVolt right now and want some powerful smaller lighter tools for residential contractor work and some home use as well. I liked the look of the Dewalt Xtreme line except for the 3/8 impact and the battery selection/not knowing if they’d flesh out the line
@@nsatoday I've really loved the M-12 line to be honest. The little impact has always been plenty for light duty work, the radio seems to work as good as the day I bought it, The palm nailers save novice and experienced crew members tons of time on jobsites, the multi-tool... is a multi-tool, no brand has ever impressed me with that. I don't have a huge swath of them but I like them enough to have multiples!
Bryan Hall, thanks. I’m thinking gen 2 1/4” hex impact, 3/8” stubby, and the stapler to start.
Bryan Hall, thanks. I’m thinking gen 2 1/4” hex impact, 3/8” stubby, and the stapler to start.
I am heavily invested in the Milwaukee lineup already so that's where I'd go if I chose to get a cordless rear handle. The reason I'm on the Milwaukee m18- m12 platforms is that I found that they offered the best combination of features, price, innovation and warranty. When you combine all those attributes it makes the decision a no brainier. Also since they are the pioneer of 18 volt battery platform they often the rights to it. That makes them committed to it financially which means consumers will not need to invest in a new battery lineup anytime soon, something that dewalt can not claim.
@tinker bee I've since purchased the m18 and after several months of usage I absolutely compare it favorably to my corded saw. I'm supremely satisfied with it and will never use my corded again, unless I need to cut masonry on occasion that I don't want to subject my corded saws to. I've already sacrificed my corded porter cable to this task so I don't have any objections to doing it again.
@tinker bee actually the opposite is true. Ever since they introduced the brushless fuel line up they had incredible power. All of the m18 batteries are backwards compatible with the m18 line up. They are all the same voltage. Whereas with flex volt batteries they are not backwards comparable with the 20 (you know that 20 is really marketing BS right? It's really only 18 once the current starts to flow) volt line up of tools so while I can put my 12 amp hour batteries in my impact driver, drill, sawzall or work light and get improved performance and much longer run time, you can't do that with a flex volt battery and 20 volt tools.
@tinker bee my point about backwards compatability is that you had to buy flex volt tools that are duplicates of any 20 volt tool you already might have had to get the higher performance and run time. While I can just slip the new milwaukee batteries into my existing M18 tools. That makes them more economical. Your assertions that the flex volt work better is unfounded. I've used the flex volt and I prefer the Milwaukee. They do everything that I need and more. Plus they have a more extensive line up of tools. I do multiple trades and their plumbing tools are great. They also save wear and tear on the body by doing things easily that normally would have to be done manually, like cutting copper tubing. While we should just agree to disagree about which one we prefer but the facts that differentiate to two brands are just that, facts.
@tinker bee no I was and continue to be very impressed and happy with all of my milwaukee tools. The bigger batteries are just icing on the cake. I have a number of the tools and I really like having all the M18 batteries being able to run on any of the tools. So I don't have to get a second set of tools or batteries. Even the table saw will run on the 4 so hour battery in a pinch. It won't last nearly as long but it still works. My miter box only needs 1 battery. Plus I have their dual voltage rapid charger (because I have a lot of the 12 tools as well) that is the only one on the market thus far that charges 3 batteries simultaneously and 40 faster. And I can use the same batteries for my lawn care equipment. It all just makes owning them very efficient and convenient. The chain saw and string trimmer are incredible. The table saw is more powerful than any of the 4 corded models I owned in the last 30 years. I don't know how they do it but they get incredible power and run time out of a single 18 volt battery.
@tinker bee as much as possible I have the fuel brushless unless they don't make a particular tool in a brushless model like the planer. I'm happy your happy with your dewalt. I used to own dewalt nicad 18 volt 15 years ago. I was adopted soured on dewalt when my brand new hammer drill was broken right out of the box. After I had it repaired under warranty it broke again after minimal usage just after their then very short term warranty ended. I had several old school corded milwaukee tools that I love so when they pioneered the use of lithium ion batteries I was very impressed. I still have my original m18 drill and impact. Plus I really appreciate their warranty. It's 5 years and you don't need to register and they don't argue. I abused the m18 impact by using it on 1/2" lag bolts and carriage bolts which it was not designed for. Still they rebuilt it when it was 4 years old for free. They have proved to me that they provide the best value for the money with innovative features, great design from real world input from the trades and the best warranty in case a user abuse the tool. I've never had one be broken out of the box either.
Both great tools. Pick based on your battery platform. No bad choice. I am invested in Red so have many additional batteries already.
I'm on both battery platforms..... 😟.. what do I do? I want one of these saws but can't choose.
FWIW I have 2 M18 circular saws the 6.5 and 7¼ gen 1.. 6.5 is okay for trim or light duty, 7¼ works but the base plate is loose and it won't stay set at a depth stop. I baby my tools as well.. should I be leaning toward the Flexvolt because of the issues with the Milwaukee saws I have? Tough decisions ...
I like the positive detents on the dewalt I also own the dewalt i think the next saw i buy will be the new Milwaukee never hurts to have multiple circular saws there like angle grinders you can never have to many more you have the less blade changes you do
I own both saws. Only had the milwaukee for about a week but i like the milwaukee better it felt better when cutting and better in my hands. But both are great saws and i wont be getting rid of my dewalt cause it has proven itself over time.
Thank you for your input I don't have any DeWalt battery set so I guess I would have to stick to the Milwaukee but I already have the Makita version so I don't know if I would get either one now already spent my hundred bucks you take care of everybody and don't forget cheers with a beer
I like the Makita bro. I ma5need to do a video of both
You c as n never go wrong with Makita. Dewalt a recent 887 impact is a lemon and I have a 15gauge cordless Dewalt nailer that keeps having issues with VERY LITTLE USAGE. Regret switching to Dewalt however I do really like my Dewalt flexvolt rearhandle saw. But if I had the Makita or the Milwaukee I’d be saying the same thing. I’m new to Dewalt and about to jump ship right back to Nakita or possibly over to Milwaukee. Not impressed with Dewalt overall
They look exactly alike except for the color. The draw back for the Dewalt is the completely different battery but I was never a Dewalt fan anyway. I have always liked Porter Cable and pretty much stuck with them until I saw an ad in the Ace Hardware flyer for the Milwaukee M12 combo that had the drill and 1/4" impact driver with two batteries and a charger with a nice canvas Milwaukee bag. I picked them up over two years ago and loved how they felt in the hands and the compactness as opposed to my Porter Cable 20v MAX Lithium drill and 1/4" impact which aren't that much bigger. Their ability to do what I need them to do like screwing down Hardi Backer for underlayment to my porcelain tile floor in my kitchen. I was switching out between my Porter Cable impact and my Milwaukee M12 and both did admirably. So I saw a video that boasted Milwaukee's 3/8" impact having as much torque or more than their 1/2" impact gun. I bought the 3/8" impact and a M18 3.0 Ah High Output battery and charger combo which then led me to buy the Milwaukee Rear Handle 7-1/4" saw tested here. And of course I needed a bigger battery, so I bought a 8.0 Ah High Output M18 battery and I also picked up a 4.0 Ah 20v MAX Lithium battery for my Porter Cable 20v MAX 6-1/2" circular saw. Everything but the kitchen sink.
Great vid, thanks, Our BigRed Tablesaw came with two 12ah batteries last Christmas, have never opened the extra one, now I can see it has a future.
Thanks Toolmat!
What's up with that sawdust buildup on the Milwaukee during the plunge cut? Looked like it kept growing lol. Still gotta give the nod to Milwaukee for sticking to their 18v platform. Great video, ty!
Yeah I didn't even notice that until you said it. Thanks for the comment Jimmy!
It was because the dust shoot was plugged up
Right off the Milwaukee website. Blade guard and shoe made of high strength magnesium. Not aluminum. Small correction.
Also it weighs 13.5 pounds not 10
It weighs just under 10 pounds with no battery. 13.5 with the monster 12 AH Battery.
I like the running tone of the dewalt better on the mic the Milwaukee is louder
Great video TRZ Brother
sure dewalt needs flexvolt battery witch are compatible whit the 20v lineup. but the milwaukee saw need the high output to be good.. so its prety mutch the same thing dont you think ?? both are great tools and nice video.. !!
Agreed bro
Sure they say use the ho to give it the power but I got the kit so that ho battery and the ones I already have work for all my red tools so no it’s not the same like dewalt
Hi TRZ,
Well from the video only
Dewalt 60v circular saw - improvement: Led light, front sight a little better ( 0 & 45 degree marks), include a dust attachment,
Kit should include a 12ah battery already. Looks like a good saw
Milwaukee m18 circular saw
Improvement: Battery to sit lower, bevel lock should be better, Add your bevel stops, lol. Looks like a good saw. Nice that it can use any 18v batteries.
Now, DeWalt should look into making a 20v 6 1/2" left side blade Brushless already or even a 20v 7 1/4" left side saw. They will need to make some higher amp 20v batteries ie: (8.0 , 9.0 or 12ah) with 21700 cells. I see the advantage of a 60v power but not everyone is on the flexvolt battery line. DeWalt needs to update some of their 20v tools line already. This way they will have two strong lines.
Like them both (Milwaukee & DeWalt)
Throw a 12ah flexvolt on the 20v Tool and Go... They make lots of batteries
@@FusionBoost2.0
Yeah, that' true. Would be nice if dewalt just updated some of their older 20v tools already with brushless motors. Not saying that they are not good but you know what I'm saying.
@@michaelc7283 Not many left that really haven't been updated with brushless motors now
@@FusionBoost2.0
Yeah, The only thing that is missing is the 6 1/2 circular saw (left side). 20v (redesign and brushless) sawzall, hedge trimmer.
Great vid ive been using the dewalt for awhile now great saw for all framing work especially for ripping, the milwaukee has alot of power for 18v platform
Milwaukee all the way
Thanks Joseph!!!
Like your unbias reviews and thoughts...how u pointed out the pros and cons of each....another youtuber tried putting a 3amp HO battery in that Milwaukee saw and it just cutted out due to electronically self protection ...so i don't think any m18 battery will work.....18v will never be as powerful as 54v....but guarantee to always have longer run times... cheers
I think that we might have saw the same video but if not the guy that I saw did another video were he used the 3amp HO and took his time sawing through it instead of trying to jam it through like he did on the 1st video and it actually held up and cut like it was supposed to cause he even admitted in the 2nd video that he was pushing the saw to hard while he was trying to cut with the 3amp
Thanks thai! I appreciate it bro!
You don’t need no stinking dust collector when you just catch all that moist pressure treated saw dust in your sandals 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣
They are both quality sauce, but now it’s up to the price. What is the price difference?
I have tried both and I prefer the dewalt over the milwaukee, not because I'm already in the dewalt platform but because the milwaukee had no stops for the bevel you just have to watch where it lands and land it precisely on the degree you need for it. Otherwise it's a good saw. I liked the fact it came with a dust attachment unlike the dewalt which didn't but is available for purchase separately. Wish it came with it though. I would've kept the milwaukee if it had stops for the bevel.
Thanks for the feedback Zack!
I own this saw and the blade wrench isn't going to fall out. The Flex rear handle saw uses the exact same system to store their wrench.
Awesome review bro. ..love the sexy flexy. ...look more powerful and furious than the Milwaukee. ...and as well as the dust shot is more specific in the Dewalt and especially when plunge cut....
Thanks a lot. ...👍🤘👍🤘
I like both saws but the Milwaukee seems to cut smoothly and want to eat more wood. I am a Dewalt guy but I think milwaukee has a winner here because line of sight is very important. Great video and I like the "MOIST" drop. 🤣🤣💯🇺🇸
Lol, thanks John!!!
i think you are wrong. Milwaukee saws are junks
Correct me if I'm wrong!
It looked like the dewalt had done a bit of work before this duel, where the Milwaukee looked brand new!
Glen Milwaukee just released the rear handle mid July while the Dewalt has been around for a year
Thank you for this awesome review! I actually surprised the Milwaukee hung in there with the DeWALT!
Yeah bro, definitely awesome for only being 18v.
Milwaukee
I have the milwaukee ...because all my other tools are m18 so it was a no brainer for me but both seem like good saws
Both are good. However gotta go Dewalt
Thanks Dan!!!
Haven’t tried the Milwaukee, I have the dewalt. Everyone I work with hates the weight but I’m the smallest guy on the crew so I think they’re a bunch of babies. I usually run the flex 9ah battery in it for its longevity and if I’m framing all day I might need to change it out once closer to the end of the day, MAYBE. I personally love the weight of the saw because I’ve never had this saw kickback on me and I think the weight has a lot to do with that. I’ve cut a ridge vent open a coupes weeks ago on an existing roof about 30ft long and it literally cut roofing nails perfectly in half. I was using an old 24 tooth framing blade and it already had a few teeth missing. When I finished both sides I realized the blade had lost more than half its teeth (the blade was a crap off brand blade our shop carries anyway), but I seriously didn’t even notice the saw bog down at all so I thought it was fine. After seeing this video I could definitely tell the dewalt cuts a second or two faster. It literally rips and cross cuts 2x PT like it’s KD, I don’t really notice a difference. Like I said, haven’t tried the Milwaukee but the speed of cuts has to add up to a few more minutes when framing all day and time is money. But it all comes down to what you’re comfortable with and what system you’re already working with. I will say, I hated the safety button on the dewalt so I disassembled the handle and removed the plastic safety button completely and put it back together, taped up the hole and now I can just pull the trigger. Just don’t tell the boss about that little hack if you decide to follow suit though lol and don’t blame me if you don’t know how to use a saw and lose an extremity 😂
But the Milwaukee did amazing I think Both of them are winners
For anyone that complains about the angle adjustment lever spinning too freely for the Milwaukee just insert a small spring (tension spring) between the saw and the washer on the bolt and that will keep it tight.
How often do you really use the angle adjustable for mitre cuts in the real world? I personally "free hand" bevels on the bottom of rafters, tops of hips ect. It's much faster and unless you need the cut to be extremely precise, and if you have any skill as a cutter you're damn within a degree or 2 anyways so it's rare I ever touch the lever.
i am shopping for the 775 right now,,,but after seeing your tool duel...i like that led that Milwaukee has..i think i will hold out a little longer,, and now pricing an m18...thanks! i believe dewalt is the better, more "construction based" tools and milwaukee is for homeowners...but i will do my homework...still leaning towards dewalt though~~ . and i am not partial to being on one platform for all my tools...makita has good impact/screw guns now,,and i have the battery and charger for them too..its the individual tool i make my purchases for.....AND the milwaukee is $100 bucks more?!?! (kit price) tool only is $50 more
Thanks for the comment Tarzan. Ryobi is the homeowner brand fro TTI, ridgid is the mid level stuff but Milwaukee is the top dog bro. They are basically leading the game right now in the pro line tools
Dewalt seems more powerful and robust
I grew up with dewalt, but was so close to jumping to Milwaukee. Dewalt has better deals, so my wallet chose, in the end.
sure you can use any 18 volt battery with Milwaukee but try doing the same test with a 5ah battery........ You will ruin the battery or wont be able to use the saws whole potential. In the end you are stuck with using 12ah Milwaukee batteries or using flexvolt 9ah with Dewalt.
Yeah I agree. 5.0 you will end up with voltage sag because they draw a lot of current
People don’t realize that the normal m18 batteries can’t run their high power tools like this and the angle grinder, you have to invest in the high output m18 batteries like the 12.0 used here. So either way if you’re in the 20v max or m18 you have to invest in new batteries
I'd go with the DeWalt beacause that's the platform I'm in and also the ergonomics of the DeWalt seem better overall. The proud battery of the Milwaukee would get on my nerves. I still haven't found that one 18v Milwaukee tool that I have to have. I do love my 12v Milwaukee tools though. Milwaukee's marketing is pretty cringeworthy, Dewalt's isn't much better.
The thing is about the batteries is that the 18v/20v batteries are going to have to put out three times the amps to produce the same watts as 54v/60v batteries, the higher volt batteries should run cooler. Just because you can run the new Milwaukee table saw and rear handle saw on a 3.0 battery doesn't mean you should.
harveyR my thoughts exactly. You may use the 12ah battery in another m18 tool but you won’t use a smaller battery in the higher demand tools. Flexvolt batteries are also completely compatible with all the 20 volt max tools. It is exactly the same principle.
TOOLDOOL!
Dewalt fanboy, but to me it comes down to what system you start with and have the batteries in. I don't think there is one better or worse. One or two specific tools is about it. Both quality lines. Nice review
Dewalt definitely won, but its impressive what Milwaukee gets done with the 18b battery. Just hear the motor strain when ripping the 4x4, huge difference... sounds like the Milwaukee would bind a bit easier, could be wrong 🤷♂️
Something that is worrisome is the dust buildup on the Milwaukee! I have seen a few other posts with similar if not worse dust build up doing normal cuts
i like the milwaukee
Thanks god bless
Milwauka I A; Milwaukee has a Hard E. I was invested until the second I-A.
You realize he is pronouncing it that way, on purpose, right?
People have no clue bro lol
lol no sense at all.
Everyone keeps saying you can just any Milwaukee battery on their new tools, while true isn't entirely true either. Unless your using one of the new high output batteries, performance and runtime is heavily affected... Throw a 4 or 5 ah in there and try making those cuts again... The battery will go into protection mode and that's it for that... You can throw a battery in there and make a few basic cuts in a 2x4 but that's it
See, what happens is this: I tune into a video. Once I get there, I find out that 89.7% of the time, if you are on the DeWeys, you are talking about the Flex Volt. And that just causes me to go out googling, to find out how my shot stacks up to the shit of those who chose to go the Flex Volt way.
OK, so here they are saying 5800 RPM. It isn't usually the case, but it happens to be the case this time that the Flex Volt's spinny thingie goes faster than my spinny thingie. Fair enough. BUT...my 574 (the power detect) is giving out 5500. So even when Power Detect loses one, it's not by very much at all. But importantly, while UI gave up 300 RPM...I did not have to let Lowes curbside put one of those Brontosaurus batteries on the side of my truck and flip it over.
Haha...I still like my decisions.
I like Milwaukee everything because they stick with one battery and it prevents you from having to buy proprietary batteries for each large tool and multiple of each especially if your on the job. At least if you forget say your big Milwaukee 12.0 you know your not stuck at a job and you can pop in your smaller battery to continue the job. Just my $0.02
PROJECT ANUBIS Milwaukee changed their battery style a few years ago which pissed a lot of people off with older tools.
interman 77 ahh I was unaware I only remembered the 12v old drills in the metal box 😂
Dewalt is good but battery is shady not all battery will work especially with older Dewalt. Skillsaw win that’s what I bought haha.
I think the dewalt won
I think it beat them all bro
Milwaukee for me.
Milwaukee.
Milwaukee all the way. It lasts longer on a single battery then what the DeWalt does plus the DeWalt battery is front-loaded. Meaning you don't get the same amount of power through time as you do with the Milwaukee. Also the Milwaukee's not going to burn up as fast. But if you're looking for something I guess more value for your buck because it was cheaper than by all means get the DeWalt
Wolf of Mibu More voltage means less amp draw basic primary school stuff ,thus the run times will be similar. I have used Flexvolt and Milwaukee 18 volt and the Dewalt is way more powerfull.
Bro Dewalt is the best I have it and Iliked very much and better quality my vote is for Dewalt kaboooooom
I just did the tool Duel with the Milwaukee and Makita. The dewalt seems to be the winner of all, and I agree
I went milwaukee cause thats the batteries I run
Even if i was a Milwaukee guy, id still buy this dewalt saw. The kit has a battery and fast charger. 1 more battery is all u need... ITS 60 VOLTS
Btw i bought this saw today. Its epic
It's my favorite saw out if all the rear handle saws so far
Dewalt 👍
Dewalt makes the best work saw hands down. But I understand people will buy Milwaukee or makita if they are already invested in that platform.
I have the Flexvolt blade right saw and it is the most powerfull 7 1/4" saw I have ever used ,my workmates m18s bog down and cut out ,but the Dewalt powers through anything even full depth rip cuts.
Yeah it's a beast
In my opinion Dewalt one
Thanks young!!!
They are pretty much the same, the milfukyee looks like the sawwdust doesn't clear as well is all.
Dewalt
Boy ; both of those saws are big and bulky as hell.
Yeah definitely not the smallest saws out there
You cannot just stick any old Milwaukee battery in this saw and think it will perform the same way. You must use their HP batteries. The same as DeWalt moving their pro level tools to the 60volt platform. Bottom line here is if you want either one of these saws your going to be buying the kit or the new very expressive batteries.
kinda didnt need to even test 60v vs 18v? 60v always gonna win. Just a higher energy potential which would be pretty important for something like a skill saw.
Since niether are true worm drives they both fall short! If all you're looking for is the feel of the Skill you either are just starting out or haven't been on a framing crew! The look-a-Like doesn't cut it. I'll keep my 25' cord on my 77 & fight the cord as always! These don't understand Framing. Forget the pair!!
Thanks for the feedback Robert
robert latham I've been framing efficiently for over 30 years with a corded side winder saw ,why change now hey ?
Whether you use a worm drive or a sidewinder is more of a geographical thing than anything. In my region everyone uses sidewinders. In other regions people only use worm drives. Neither are right or wrong cause no matter which one you use houses are still getting built along with everything else
When I framed in the Midwest, we only used sidewinders, with the exception of one old timer that brought his own worm drive. Now when working with west coast guys, they swore by worm drives, called sidewinders home owner saws, sidewinders never kept me from making a buck.
DeWalt
Milwaukee was smart and copied Makita. Staying in the same battery line is smart. Makita has been doing it for awhile now. They use two 18v batteries for a 36v tool.
Im a commercial and residential wood framer i have the flexvolt saw and and i work the saw hard and strenuous during the day ripping plywood and 2×4s and cutting 6×8s all the way through 8×12s all day long going through at least 5 or 6 60v batteries a day if not more and i dont think the m18 saw would be able to handle all the brutality..after all it is just an overpowered 18v that can only take so much
honestly i have tried them both and you'd be surprised we use them for boat building and the 60v shut its self off and the 18 has not yet I would recommend trying the m18
The dewalt does sound much quieter.
Milwaukee will not work with batteries lower than 12.0 it is compatible but if you run it with anything lower it will burn out the battery and shut it off. So Dewalt Wins
Makita wins hands down
So milwaukee did everything the same as dewalt with more than half the voltage??? I say milwaukee is the clear winner. Skilsaw uses 40v, dewalt 60v, makita 36v, Milwaukee 18v. . I think it’s clear who is the winner
Milwaukee all the way
