For this evaluation the tests we selected to give a good relative, measurable comparison of run-time and the speed of cutting. We feel these tests will give you a good baseline on overall tool performance. Clearly run-time is hugely important with high demand cordless tools, and productivity is always an important benefit to consider when buying a cut off tool.
9 Inch Cordless Cut Off Saw Comparison Testing
Full Depth 3″ Granite block cutting for runtime evaluation
Rebar cutting for power and speed
Multiple metal and masonry cuts in various materials for ergonomic review
Cutting of concrete blocks and bricks
Cut Off Testing Materials
Several test simulations were used which are considered typical of tasks where a contractor might use a 9 inch cordless cut off saw for, these simulations included:
Cutting concrete block [CMU]
Cutting solid concrete block - this block has a very consistent matrix and is made in large precast batches.
Cutting #5 rebar
Gang cutting 5 pieces of #5 rebar
Full depth cuts in 3″ granite paver slabs
¼” thick steel channel stock cuts
Cut Off Saw Testing Categories
In addition to the simulations each of the crew members spent time cutting varying materials, to evaluate the cut off saws independently. Our testing simulations and these individual evaluations were used to determine the Best 9 Inch Cut Off Saw in several categories including:
Size and Weight
Features
Performance
Ergonomics
Price
Best in Class - derived from the above categories
One things for sure. We are lucky to have so many great tools from all manufacturers these days.
Bene
Also Makita tools not to forget
I have a dewalt and I use it everyday as a mason and I wont lie my 420 sits in the garage now unless I need the extra cutting depth. It's been the best thing I have bought it's nice light I use it for everything. Dont be cheap buy 4 batteries......
Your tool comparisons are the best. Thank you!
I would like to see a repeat of this head to head with all of the currently available 9” battery saws. I have the Makita XEC01 and have had excellent results with my saw.
These cut off saws are unsung heros! Great job comparing the 3 manufacturers! I found this video very informative and thorough. Great job as always!
good testing guys! Can't wait for the framing nailer head to head!
mattccv can already tell you who wins that Milwaukee
Would be a good battle between Milwaukee vs Hitachi
You can even get a Milwaukee framing nailer yet lol
Fusion2016 op
Still waiting on the 1/2" impact head to head.
Hats off to you for doing an extensive test comparing brands
Bene
I bought a sthil tsa230 4 years still was the only company making a battery saw at the time ago love it for cutting metal because the tool can be run inside the sthil batteries are close to $300.00 a piece and I need to replace them I think I may up grade to a brand new dewalt
Polski
@@wallygator3442 like have the problem with batteries I wished I had weighted and bought a Dewalt instead
could you imagine if they made these saws in 14 inch version with dual batteries... take my money now
One day
Milwaukee just revealed there 14" cut off saw
@@sv-et7gq that will be ineresting
No, MX fuel, BIG battery 72V
The Makita 80v platform is on its way.
Dewalt all day on this one! Great review as always 🍻🍻
Desalts the worst of the three.. Facts
Oops Dewalt
Gary Katoa how?
Gary Katoa and I own a ton of Milwaukee, I also own Metabo, Mafell, Metabo HPT (Hikoki) Makita and dewalt..hell even some Ryobi that was gifted. I’m not being biased, just think the dewalt did better on the shoot out.
Dewalt has been killing it the past year or two. This saw, their 577 saw, they 12v 901, and especially their 999 hammer drill has been overall beating every brand it goes up against.
PLEASE do a rear handle circular saw head-2-head. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Hilti, Makita, Skilsaw. I'm sure the fans want to see that.
Lots of guys have already done it, DeWalt wins
I’m a Milwaukee guy but let’s be honest, DeWalt did their homework on this one and put some good features on that demo saw.
Justin NYC you’d think Milwaukee would have it’s the newest
I was thinking about going with the Makita 14" gas saw but I think I'm going to get the Milwaukee 9" saw, I will use it a lot more for various things and I can track it when somebody snatches it. The Dewalt's battery enclosure looks better but I'm just not feeling it.
Just going to buy a husky as I’ve used the product for years think I’ll give the dewalt a go thanks for this info 👍
One of these would be a nice addition to my tool kit but I can’t see a roof tiler or bricklayer swapping out the 2 stroke cutter yet, when you have cuts to make all day and your up a scaffold I just don’t think they would want to keep walking to put batteries on charge. For a carpenter tho, it would be ideal, especially for cutting through internal masonry walls, it’s got to be a selling point not to have exhaust fumes in a customers house and also the smell of petrol in the back of the van
Ben Chippy yup!
All the roofers I know use battery saws now
Disappointed Stihl didn't show up, I've been considering buying it because I already have a couple batteries. I guess it makes sense they would be at a disadvantage because it's the oldest machine.
I've tried the Stihl and it definitely showed it's age. The ergonomics were perfect to me. However, the power was lacking. Under a light load you really feel the motor wind down and you can really feel it begin to struggle. Impressive for it's time but I don't think it holds a candle to these more modern saws in terms of power at least.
I've seen Dewalt go up against Stihl and Dewalt blew it away
Extremely thorough review. Big thanks from Wales
Very well done review! We use Demo Saws almost daily as a heavy civil contractor. There are alot of times when doing a pipe Tie-in using Ductile Iron Pipe, that space is tight down in a trench, we are always looking for new ways to get something done more efficiently and safely. Typically its a big Stihl gas powered demo saw inside a trench box 10' deep. We are trying a Dewalt and a Milwaukee tomorrow, so Ill get some real life data. I'm a Milwaukee "guy", but I cant argue with your results with the Dewalt! We shall see! Great work!!
portable saws are the way to go. I do masonry work and it has changed the game.
Also bought the Stihl cordless saw and will do my own test it really pissed me off that they pussied out on your test I've been a Stihl guy for the hole 33 years I've been pouring concrete and laying block and brick
Chris Santoro let us know
Another solid head to head. I really appreciate your in depth look at every aspect of these.
I think I'm going for Milwaukee with the 2 12ah batteries. It pains me to do so given that I've always been a DeWalt fan-boy and their saw seems clearly to be the better model. I had always outfitted myself and my workers with DeWalt, and I still have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of bulletproof DeWalt cordless tools.
But I had a terrible experience with DeWalt customer service regarding one of their 60 volt products, and given that their saw is a flexvolt I'll shy away from it. The same reason I went with Milwaukee for a cordless SDS max a few weeks back.
Boy did I go off topic...
Your reviews are insightful as always Rob.
Yeah... call me though when Husq makes drills, pipe cutters, pvc sheers, impacts, hammer drills, recip saws, vacuums etc that run on the same battery platform as their concrete saw. I’ll wait.
Oh, and call me when dewalt stops Dicking around changing their battery designs with every iteration so you can’t use your old tools with them.
For that reason alone, for any reasonable contractor Milwaukee is the most sensible investment. Who cares which one cuts a tad better. It’s about batteries man...
You can buy a bar wrench holder, that is rubber and slides over the handle bars…these can be found online or most any true saw shop.
The most comprehensive comparison I have ever seen on tools. I am curious what your personal opinion” is why Stihl decided not to participate?
Great review and was very helpful in my decision making.
We got a DeWalt a few months ago. Runtime is very disappointing. Can't replace 2t saws but good for light work and way easier to use and start!
Great video!
What ah was the battery you used
We use one all the time.. I'm impressed with the runtime we are using 12ah batteries
Just bought 2 dewalt saw kits the best deal I've ever got really unbelievable I got the saw two batteries charger diamond blade metal blade and a free 20volt fucking hammer drill with 2 batteries and charger and carry case for $849.00 KNOW HOW COULD I GO WRONG AND YES ITS NOT A STIHL 420 gas saw but it is the best addition to my tools I ever bought
i've watched tool reviews where the guy is like "always wear ear protection bcuz this tool is very loud" then he starts testing the tool with the volume MAXED while i av headphones in. so thank u for being considerate with the volume
Been researching this tool for a few weeks. Had concluded that DeWalt was the best buy for the money, and probably best overall. I'm ready to buy. Found this comparison today. It's the best, most comprehensive and straightforward head-to-head I've seen. I sure wish I would have found it first. I've subscribed, and this will my first stop for every tool I buy in the future.
Thanks for sharing
I’m getting the Milwaukee cutoff. But it’s going to be 5 years befor the 2019 tools come out
For sawing metal-would be interesting to compare these machines to 8" metal cutting circular saws from Skil,and Milwaukee.Instead of abrasive blades the Skil and Milwaukee circular saws use Cermet Carbide tipped blades.Milwaukee has a cordless M18 metal cutter saw.These machines will not cut masonry or stone materials.
I'm guessing that the Makita LXT dual-battery 9 inch cutoff saw wasn't yet released when you did this review 4 years ago. I'd be curious to see how you guys think it stacks up against the others.
Great review though! I need to do a couple projects that require me to cut through some concrete slabs, and I've been looking at these cut off saws. Your review was, as always, very helpful!
Just tried a demo Dewalt today. Very impressed!
That DeWalt looks like a beast
the husqvarna shoulnt even be consider in the same league with how much it lagged behind in cutting time.. 4x cut in one test from dewalt to husq, and they mention the dewalt has the integrated water tube.. to me that seems a disadvantage the plastic will crack/ ruin the saw if it was to have water left in there in winter weather or could clog from bad water quality.. the milwuakee you can replace the hose for about 2$ in 5 minutes
Leave the valve open and it will easily run out... Your really trying hard to find things wrong with a better saw
I just found you guys a few days ago and find your videos absolutely top notch and objective. I have one question, do you have concerns with the open Husqvarna battery getting wet or contaminated with slurry.
Hell ya! I'm back on the Dewalt. This is extremely helpful and you took the time to edit your video. Thank you!
Blokes that take the time to make quality videos like this deserve to make good coin from their efforts
Nice review. However you made one major oversight. The Husqvarna is not the most efficient saw. It is the least. You are calculating inches per Amp-hour. This is incorrect. It should be inches per Watt-hour because each saw runs at completely different voltages. Using nominal voltages: Milwaukee 18V, 12.0 Ah = 216 total Wh. Dewalt 54V, 4.0 Ah (12.0 is only when running at 18V) = 216 Wh. Husqvarna 36V, 9.4? Ah = 338.4 Wh. Inches cut per Wh would be: Dewalt: 81.8/216 = .38". Milwaukee: 76/216 = .35". Husqvarna: 67.8/ 338.4 = .20"
got it! Thanks
You guys should do an air compressor head 2 head. Small, Medium, Large.
IMO, the best tool reviews on YT.
Felix F thx
Great video, and awesome job testing as well 👍
Only one task I'd use this tool for, and that's cutting in egress windows. Can hardly wait to get one.
Really Great Rob and Team!
I'm not sure about Milwaukee, but the Dewalt batteries are known to overheat. Then you have to wait for them to cool down before you can charge them. A heavy user will need 3 batteries for Dewalt vs 2 for Stihl or Husqvarna. For Husqvarna get the Bli300 batteries, regardless of what any salesman says or promo they have. BLi200 is about half the life as the BLi300.
Dude Milwaukee is the worst for overheating
Bought the dewalt with extra batteries..does the job won’t be going back to fuel powered.
Great for light use
Looked at all your vids, close, cuz we are many who are suckers for test and especially when it comes to tools! Adults toys as wife call them,,,,,ok,,,,but I do something good with them,alright!! :D I've gone from Bosch and Black & Decker tools to little more expensive and professional tools (I'm a IT-guy) cuz they do a better job and have a longer lifetime. have friends working with this kind of tools every day and they have been a really good help and a source for information. And one downside is that the cost of batteries is killing me!! HEHEHHE but love my garage even more now!!
Thanks for the Comparison.
Nice video
Need 12 inch versions of these. Makita has 80v one now. Dewalt can do 120v like their mitre saw
Which Husqvarna battery did you use? Bli200 or Bli300?
I'd like to see these companies go to a two battery saw so they could use a bigger blade to cut fully into 4" concrete.
jps101574 this is the reason I haven’t bought one. As a bricklayer having 3.25” of cut just barely misses the mark. 2 batteries and a 12” or 14” blade would be terrific
They now have 14" saws. Xr xc batteries !
this guy know whats up.
I’m waiting for dewalt to come up with a 14 inch concrete saw like Milwaukee maybe with 2 60v batteries I bet it will be great hope it’s soon
This is the first time I'v watched one of your videos. Excellent review. I'll be back for more
Thanks - please consider subscribing!!
I've had the dewalt cut off saw for a while now. I don't use my stihl anymore. Great video brother. 👍
david smith why not use Stihl?
@@ConcordCarpenter this dewalt can do most jobs I'd use the stihl for. But dewalt is lighter not as Noisy a easy to start Obviously.😁 my go to saw.💯
david smith got it - I thought you had the Stihl battery unit, your referring to the 14” gas saw
Great review - would have been great if the Makita was released in time to have had this in the video!
Next time!
Is runtime an issue. I would think 6 feet of cutting isn't a lot when building a cinder block wall.
Look I get going cordless. I also understand well that we are totally going towards fully battery powered tools and equipment.
For a person that is doing masonry for a living is this viable.
This will cut way more than 6 feet of concrete block we tested it in Granite which is much much harder
@@ConcordCarpenter
I still think that a masson might not be the customer for this saw. Look a general contractor or a road guy this might be the saw for them. Just not a guy that needs this all day every day
Nice Test, but I am missing the Stihl 230mm saw in this comparison.
Ewoodster they were invited and declined
Where for STIHL 36v cut-off saw, New Makita twin 18V (36v) cut-off saw
Thanks for the great review as always!
One of the best comparison test I ever seen. Good job guys!
Can you cut 1.5" quartz flagstone with it?
Quartz is a VERY hard material though.
This might be related but how does the dewalt vs Milwaukee do with recharge time on the batteries? I find that my 12ah dewalt flex batteries take a much longer time than the Milwaukee 12ah.
I’ve dropped $2000 on M18 gear in the last month but I gotta say, they lose the form and aesthetic comparison hands down. They perform great, but all their yard tools and this one here just look like they make no effort to minimize the size.
You forgot Stihl & Makita & Hilti lol
The best in depth tool reviews online. Did you ask Makita to send you one of their 36v saws for testing Sir?
wasnt out at that time
@@ConcordCarpenter 👍🔨 🇺🇸 🇮🇪
The Best batery durabylity, whic one is the best?
Can you do one next time on durability?
What are these like compared to the petrol stihl saws..cutting cars and chasis are the battery powered good enough for triple skin metal sills on cars?
Don’t have the runtime of gas saws
How come you did not buy or borrow a stihl saw ? Or does stihl have something to HIDE ?
You go Use a hammer, chisel and hacksaw all day And I’ll settle for the worst of the 3
Sick and tired Of complaining copy that
Any chance of an update to include the new makita cordless saw???
we'll do a review on it soon but wont be able to add it to this
Something that I want to consider with these saws is what else can I adapt the batteries that they come with two what other tools and how many other tools
Still waiting for Sthil.
Sander vandijk sorry
What about the stihl one?
great info thank you do they all come with blades in kit
Michael Dokmanian yes They come with a diamond and abrasive blade, I’m pretty sure the bare tool comes with one each as well.
Where can i buy this product? thanks.
What I dont like to see is that the batteries overheated on Milwaukee and dewalt. That's BS. You cant even use your battery up before you have to stop.
If you run any cordless tool hard the batteries will overheat. These saws use a ton of power and you can probably easly stall all of them out.
I think with these saws there's a learning curve to get it right.
They’re not going to replace a gas saw yet. They’re supplemental for small jobs.
James Penner remember we were plunge cutting into granite - super aggressive test
No makita?
Has anyone tried the Makita 36V concrete saw?
We are reviewing it now
Main point of these tools and this video is switching from gas to battery power,u talked mostly about looks and ergonomics,,,how long can each saw cut per battery charge,size of battery,over heating....is it worth switching from gas to battery...
RCM The point of this video is to highlight the differences between the three tools and to show you that there’s a viable gasless option for small work and interior remodeling
I have said it and I will never stop saying it if you won’t the best please put dewalt to the test
What about makita
He did not exist when this was done
19:27
Thank you!
The one key systems sells me on milwaukee every time
If price isnt included does dewalt still win?
mbull001 yes by 2-points
I had the huski biggest piece of crap I’ve had broke down sent it of to get fixed they wanted $780au to fix a new saw is $780au 😂 so went dewalt
@7:59
And the sthil
Can you cut wood with the blade? I'm thinking of cutting a hole in a roof through asphalt shingles and plywood.
Use a circular saw
I should have been more clear. I was thinking of using a cordless saw on a roof during fire operations (it will always start and the oxygen levels won't matter). I realize you can't use a circular saw. obviously @@ConcordCarpenter
I thought it would be a head to head cutting video
Coming soon
Dewalt paid for this I saw the commercial before the stary
izzyzilla80 “I don’t know how CZcams ads work”*
Sounds like the dewalt wins
Cant even rip through an 8" block with out doing extra cuts in the webs.... really not feasible for a true Mason...
Pretty disappointing Stihl chickened out. Kind of exposes they have something to hide. You should have bought one and made them participate.
I can hear the Milwaukee fanboys crying now. But Milwaukee tells me their tools are the best. 😩😭🤪 Lol
Milwaukee is at their limit with 18v tools at its starting to show I think... 60v has the edge and DeWalt still has a ton of room to grow
@@FusionBoost2.0 great point. DeWalt set themselves up for the future. Milwaukee makes some of the best cordless tools I just feel their fan base is a lot like apples fan base.
@@justgregnow That's pretty much it
I don't think voltage matters much. Especially with today's technology. They need to invert the power to 3 phase for brushless motors and with that you can jump the voltage to anything you need.
You need more battery cells to go to 60v. That means more can go bad.
@@answeris4217 I have 60v batteries from lanch with no issues. Volts and AH matters! Plus battery tech will change in the next 5 years.
BLA BLA IDIOT
These are a waste of time all they will do is allow bad people easier access to you workshop
Broke ass thieves don't have thousand dollar cut off tools
I wish ud just show us the tools being used. 20 mins of just talking sucks. Show us the tools!
Sorry but we need to set the stage for the testing
