Lowe’s in my area currently has a 5-3/8” 12V Circular Saw (DCS512B) for $99. I had a Skil that used that same size blade, but it’s old and the batteries don’t stay charged anymore.
I didn’t use that saw too often, but have a couple DIY projects coming up on my honey-do list that could use that.
My question is whether I stay with 20V (or even 60V) platform i already have and get a bigger 7-1/4 or add to the collection and step down to that 12V? I would be ripping plywood sheets down to useable sizes.

thanks in advance!

My local Tractor Supply currently has a 2-pack of 20/60 6ah Flexvolt batteries selling at $169.99

With so many posts, I’ve possibly confused myself on whether this is a good value. lol

Just wondering if that’s worth it, with tabless options coming out.
