This is probably the best mini circular saw on the UK market. At just 165mm in length (and in a reasonably-sized box), it’s easy to stash away for occasional use. It’s also tough enough to stand up to some fairly hard work. Obviously, that’s going to take its toll on your blade, so it’s good that the blade is easy to change.
The plastic guides and knobs look and feel a bit flimsy, but there’s a three-year guarantee so presumably, they’re tougher than they appear. If not, the manufacturer will deal with it. The handle is comfortable to grip and makes the circular saw easy to guide.
Cutting feels like a bit more of an effort than with the Makita. That’s the difference between 5200RPM and 3700 RPM. Having said that, it isn’t difficult, it’s just not as comfortable. It’s also a bit of a pain that the cord length is only 1M. Admittedly, it’s easy enough to plug it into an extension cable, but a bit of extra length would have been nice.
