Can You Believe This? DeWalt XTREME 12V DCS512B Circular Saw Review
Vložit

- With only 12-volts and a 5-3/8" blade onboard, this @dewalttv DCS512B XTREME 12V Circular Saw can really get the work done. DeWalt has been slowly dripping out the new line of XTREME 12-volt tools that are delivering the power of larger voltage tools but in a much more compact design. This DCS512 is no different. While this is not going to be the saw you reach for to rip a pressure-treated 2x12, it can get the work done. It's definitely fitted better for cutting sheet goods, 1x material, and even doing crosscuts on 2x lumber. You can get this new #DeWaltTough 12V DCS512B for just $139, as a bare tool. #dewalttools #circularsaw

It shouldn’t be your ONLY saw, but definitely deserves to be ONE of your saws… I think I’ll buy one this weekend. ⚡️♻️
Just bought one for a backup saw 129 cad tool only was a good price now trying to sorce blades might be a issue
I've been using mine for a month now mostly only for Trim and Finish Works. it's a great replacement trim saw that I purchased from DeWalt Tools Dealer, the saw replaces my old Ryobi 5-1/2" 18V Brushed Circular Saw. I love this new DeWalt 12V saw, it's got Blade brake and it's a brushless motor compare to my old Ryobi. It's a great saw! I purchased mine a month ago and it 2ah battery and a Charger. I also purchased the 12V Xtreme Brushless Hammer Drill and the 3 Speed Impact Driver. All of them for Light Duty works only For heavy duty construction works i have a different tools for them
Great little tool. It obviously has its limitations, but for every job that it can do, I grab it before my bigger saws. Really glad to see dewalt improving their 12v lineup. Hoping for a 3" cutoff tool next. The m12 one is great. Or a handheld trim router to compete with bosch's unique entry.
I love this saw. It's the one I always grab for small jobs.
Right on, how's it holding up? I just ordered one with the 5ah
I have the M12 fuel 5 3/8 circular saw and it runs very well for what it is. With that said I would love to see how this DeWalt extreme will work out.
I think this confirms, dcs565 for me.
These smaller 12v units are not so much a home diy single cordless tool, but more like a pro on a specialty project.
For a single unit diy, think I may need the power and depth of the 20v item...new boards for the back deck this year....refurb a couple wood gates...no trim or molding in the works for now...
Have one. Love it. Every thing I need day to day. Need bigger batteries though.
Lowe’s has a special when you buy the 12v tools you get 3ah, 5ah and charger free.
The twist in the 2x is why the blade was pinching, definitely a capable saw.
Yep, I noticed the same thing
The saw knew it wasn't grounded
I have an old blue Ryobi 5 1/2 inch saw that I have had for years, I use it mostly for panel work. It is a lot easier to stretch across a 4x8 sheet with that than a 7 1/4 inch beast. I'm sure this one is great for that kind of work.
The New Ryobi small saw 5 1/2 or 5/38 and other Ryobi saws are not made correctly from the factory. I had the misfortune of falling for the "holiday sales" and ordered a Ryobi kit from home depot. The saw can never cut a straight cut as the shoe and blade do not make a 90 degree. It always swerves and sticks then the battery overheats and shuts down even on the smallest cuts. The new "Ryobi" is Rubbish, they should look at this saw and see how to actually make a decent product.
@@tuffytoys9707 Mine is over 20 years old, I bought it when they first came out and it has worked fantastically for me. Like everything else the newer ones are probably worthless.
@@pferoxtheskeeterguy I also fell for that 5 1/2" brushed cordless saw on a kit with a drill driver. It was so underpowered I returned it the next week
Nice little saw, I would like to see the 12v Dewalt rotary hammer
My old, and now dead, RYOBI brushed 18v 5-1/2" circular saw would've struggled painfully to make that cut, if it could do it.😎
Great video! No doubt, it's good to have options and not always need to lug around a larger tool than you need. However, the new'ish brushless DeWalt 20V Max 6.5" DCS565B is also selling for $139 bare tool. Yes, it's larger, but it's still very small (and considerably smaller than a 7.25" circ). So unless you are specifically working with lighter materials on a regular basis and know you will rarely need more power, the slightly larger but much more capable 6.5" DCS565B starts to look like more of the Goldilocks circ saw. Of course, they use different battery lines, so that plays into it as well, but most people who have DeWalt tools are going to have 20V batteries laying around already. But again, having options is a good thing no matter what!
Great comment bro
I was on the fence with getting this saw or the 6.5 , this saw seems a little bit underpowered even though I think some of the tests are not meant for this small saw . I rather have more power then I need then not enough , right now both saws come with free batters , homedepot gives you 2 of the new powerstack batteries for the 6.5 saw and lowes gives you a 3 and 5 amp 12 volt battery kit with this saw . I think I'll be getting the 6.5 saw .
@@gustavomacall4997 You definitely won't regret getting the 6.5" saw. It punches above its weight class in terms of power and is still quite small. I saw a recent test with it, and when paired with an equal battery, it was as fast or faster than even the 7.25" Flexvolt.
@@ZeGermanHam I saw a comparison of it with the Milwaukee fuel version and I think the Milwaukee was quieter and better features , I di own the Milwaukee fuel version but I was thinking of getting the Dewalt one to keep at work and it's a great deal right now at home depot because you get the powerstack batteries with it and since I have the new Dewalt compact impact I was already thinking of getting a powerstack battery for it.
Good demonstration, coming from a guy with a wall full of red tools.
This saw is a quick cut & go tool. It's perfect for many applications. Many already own a bigger circular saw.
Use the right too for the job and you'll be productive and your tools will last.
Expect too much and you'll disappointed with the tool and the job.
The 20v is obviously a more versatile toll. But...
I have a hatchet, a chopping axe, and an 8lb splitting maul.
I would not try to split a round with the hatchet, but will split kindling with it all day long.
Very good points, all around. Thanks for watching.
Hi did you look into the flashing light situation , over heating or ?
Would you choose this or the Dewalt 20V atomic 4.5" circular saw? Looks like both have similar capabilities.
Looking at my next purchase.
Can you compare it to the atomic 6.5 and one hand?
Was expecting more power, but it’s not awful either given it’s 12V. I’m waiting on Makita to update their little 12V saw to brushless. It’s only 3.5”, but that’s still enough to cut 3/4”, which IMO is all a 12V needs to be able to do.
A saw like that will surely teach patience with larger stock.
I honestly think milwaukee could make a m12 6 1/2 inch circular saw that would be crazy but I think very possible also I'd love to see 12v 8+ ah batteries for both Dewalt and milwaukee
Could not agree more, they have some descent 9 generic batteries on Amazon
@@yorselrus1996 I bought some 6ah dewalt knockoffs from Amazon. The true capacity is 4.5ah so a 9ah battery would yield about 6.75ah of true capacity. Waitley uses better cell so it may have slightly higher capacity but not as much as they claim, probably 7.5ah true capacity for their advertised 9ah battery.
I got this for $77 on Woot this week, without battery. It's sold out now.
Lowe's has Two 12v 5.0ah batteries on sale for $99, that's a Great Deal ...
Wow……what are you taking about? “ if your a roofer , ripping 3/4 “ decking material?” No such thing…a roofer is a person installing cedar shingles or asphalt shingles.
“ great for cutting fascia” no builder uses a circular saw to cut exterior trim, they use a mitre saw. ….it is a great saw on a great platform, for using to cut 2X stock or single sheets of plywood, not ripping framing stock
Nice One Tim 🤭
The flashing light sucks, whats the actual deal with that? ever check the manual?
I like that...
Are they coming out with some new 12v tools ?
What a cutie 😍
How much did it cost?
Are you in Canada?
Hi, ridgid has a brand new Brushless 6.5 inch circular saw, if you can get your hand on one could you please do a review ?? Many said its better than the dewalt circular saw, i find it had to believe.
Curious about the comparison. I know he also reviewed the Ryobi brushless 61/2”.
So where’s the jigsaw to make a set 🤦♂️
For trim and lath only...
milwaukee and makita been did this why buy this when you will have to buy new batteries if it used the bigger 20v dewalt batteries then it would be good but either way you have to start a new battery format not a good move by dewalt.
😎🐝😎🐝😎🐝😎
Thanks for watching.
Laughs in rear handle flex volt
Oh! look Dewalt made yet another "not a track saw".
DeWalt has had a track saw for years now.
Does he have giant hands or is that a tiny saw?
Lol. Both.
yes I'm the father!
Lol, that's funny. Thanks for watching.
Sangat membutuhkan, semoga anda berbaik hati.
Lots of rippin sheet...🤔
I can't stand the aluminum plates these days, too skinny too thin too flexy. They should have that front handle way lower, I wish they would make the plates more wide and stiff and why not attached that extra handle on front left corner of it while we're at it. I like that guide for the rips though
México = 200$ 😰😢
The flashing light is a caution that this saw is a waste of money. Get the 60v and don’t look back!
The 60V is a beast, but it's also a heavy beast. Having a smaller saw to do smaller projects is not a bad thing. Thanks for watching.
What a ridiculous comment.
It would be interesting to note what blades are available for precision work. With the proper blade in the 60v very accurate cutting is possible. The saw is well balanced with the 6ah battery and does everything from framing to quality finish panel cutting.
@@coralreefer23 how is it ridiculous when the saw is very limited to start with and apparently is only good for light duty?
I can hammer nails with a sledgehammer too but it's not worth the fatigue of having to carry it around. There are tools that make life easier in situations like being on a ladder or having to do a one-handed job.
You scare me where you have your left hand when sawing! 10:00 and after. PLEASE use the handle on top.
Kinda seemed he used his left hand is a guide, I’d not ever risk doing that, imagine his finger getting caught up with the blade running!
that wouldn’t be a fun eye entertainment show.
Thought this was SHOP tool reviews not woodworker tool reviews
Everyone needs a circ saw in the shop. ;) Why not make it a small one?! Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Good job addressing the Enormous Elephant in the room. :)
With the proper blade you can convert a circular saw to cut anything as I did. It cuts any metal including stainless steel.
PLEASE DONT CUT LIKE THAT AGAIN WITH GLOVES ON!! IVE SEEN PEOPLE LOSE FINGERS...
