My DEWALT Circular Saw: Quick Cuts During The Van Build

My circular saw was useful when I wanted a quick, straight cut through 2020 aluminum extrusion. It continued working after the rough handling of building on the road.

My Experience With This Tool

I love my DEWALT circular saw. I sometimes used it to cut 2020 aluminum extrusion when I wanted to make a quick cut, and it handled that work well. I found it easy to follow a straight line and had no problems with it during those jobs.

Like my other DEWALT tools, it has been dropped and treated roughly during the build. It is still working well.

I built much of the van on the road, carrying tools and materials in a trailer and working outside. Durability is the main reason I consider my DEWALT tools worth the money: they kept working through dirt, travel and rough handling.
