Being a carpenter and builder when I was looking for a cordless platform, I consider the circular saw the most important piece and I chose dewalt as I studied many and considered the Dewalt saw range superior for my needs .
I usually always use a 4 or 5Ah battery with my circular saws. I have the Dewalt and is really easy to use. With the weight of the Milwaukee, just as well use a 7-1/4 saw.
Hi Brad, I have both brand (Milwaukee & DeWalt) brushless 6 1/2" circular saw. I have to tell you they are both great and you can't go wrong with either one. Yes you're correct, the dewalt front line markers is not as good as the milwaukee. Now, both have the LED Light, brushless motor and rafter hook. The rafter hook on the milwaukee is thicker but even though the dewalt is thinner it still strong and works great. The dewalt size seems a little smaller then the milwaukee and i think it's the bottom plate. Plus, the dewalt has a port to hook to a vacuum if anyone needs it when working indoors. Milwaukee has it but only for the UK models. Well, this one is going to be hard to pick. I have to say i like them both and it might come down to battery platform. Both great circular saws.
@@hammerandhome Oh, i forgot. I use the 8.0 ah batteries on both of them and it works great. Yes, 5.0 ah and higher works way better. If you just need to cut a few boards the smaller battery will work. Oh boy, my milwaukee m12 line is growing. Those tools are impressive. Be careful it will get you, LOL....
Well the winner for me when it comes to 6 1/2 circs is the lightest one of decent quality and compatibility for your desired or current battery platform. The 6 1/2 is the light duty saw used for those occassions when you want a light saw so I agree that weight is a big factor in choice as long as the saw is quality. Ive still got my old 18v Dewalt 6 1/2 and its still going strong and has been a great saw that I now use with the Dewalt adapter and run 20v batteries on it. Ive got a 7/14 brushless Dewalt as well and when my 18v 6 1/2 gives out ill be upgrading to the new Dewalt brushless 6 1/2. And no doubt Ill feel pretty spoiled with a light and rafter hook on my saw.
Like my Milwaukee 2730-20 m18 fuel 6-1/2 Circ saw. Gets the job done for what I use it for, and I like the left blade and light weight of the tool. Do wish “dust chute” was tad bit better; but, most saws that are not 7-1/4 of “dust chutes” like this; so....it’s a thing, but not deal breaker. The other 2 things that’s an annoyance but not deal breaker: no positive angle stops, and onboard Allen wrench storage. The onboard Allen wrench stays in my circ saws own personal “packout” box; as it falls off at worst times and tired of worrying if lost it (being 30 feet up framing and having the wrench fall out of the saw, it happens). The angle stops, crappy they aren’t there, but again, won’t stop using b/c don’t have......woulda been nice to have, but hey, they aren’t there; and seems like a trend w/ other Milwaukee circ saws😉 But go w/ what you like and what battery platform your in. Get the BEST tool for the JOB for the money you are willing to spend. Cuz can get great tools (corded and cordless) regardless of brand for great money, and they get the job done.
I used to own the dewalt 6 1/2 circular saw when it was the only option out there. It's the Biggest piece of crap I've ever used so I got rid of it as soon as dewalt released the flexvolt line. Now I own the new dewalt 6 1/2 brushless circular saw and it's awesome. Dewalt stepped up the quality in their tools probably forced by other players like milwaukee and Makita making higher quality tools. Competition is good for all of us!
I have both brushless saws. I like the M18 better. Build quality is better, quieter. I only paid $113 for it too (Dewalt $90). Pricing under normal conditions makes Dewalt possibly a better buy. I am curious to see what you say.
Already have a 7 1/4 and looking for something smaller, lighter, and cordless. Is the new brushless version of the Dewalt worth the 70 dollars over this brushed model or should I just pick up this brushed model?
Well I'm commenting before I watched the whole thing. I just want to say any saw is great with Diablo blades, and honestly I think that is 70% of how well it performs.
I have the Dewalt 20V max brushless 6 1/2 with the brake. Powerful little saw. Great for quick cuts and rips. Also, what type of wood is your work bench that you are using in this video? I like and would love to build my own for my work station in my garage.
this is the Festool MFT table, the top is made out of MDF and could easily be made. I'm glad you like the saw, I really need to get that in my hands :) thanks for watching
@@hammerandhome thanks for the info man! Much appreciate from SoCal! Would you be able to do a video on how to make sure your miter saw is cutting at an exact 90 degree and 45 degree etc. Just got the DSW779 and would love any tips.
I bought my friend the 1st gen Milwaukee mini Impact bit driver and I have the brushless. His 1st gen always ripped bolts or screws out way harder than mine I don't even understand how.
seems like the dewalt bogged and the milwaukee with its bigger motor kept a constant speed. bet the milwaukee would be better at rips. also its hard to be impartial with a saw youve used for 10 years.. seemed more like your opinion than a quantatative review. my 2c
OK my kinders. All the tools on the wall and table are yellow. He has two tools in front of him. One is yellow, one is red. Which color tool do you think he will select? 👍
Dude the dewalt brushed is a faster cutter than the fuel model, the dewalt brushless is faster than the Milwaukee fuel and the brushed dewalt is faster than both
@ Lou cifer lol you must be on fynthnyl or something. Milwaukee has been around way longer inventing & perfecting the sawzall.. Amongst many other tools my friend better warranty bigger tool selection automotive tools etc I've been waiting for a dewalt battery ratchet for ages geesh dewalt just can't keep up it's pothetic come on Dewalt step your game up lmao.. Another dewalt fan boyee butt hurt!!!

Hi Michael, yup, it often comes down to the platform for me!

My milwaukee is usa model and has the port. For the vaccum
@@myweigh7089
Cole is that 6 - 1/2" model? I know the 7 - 1/4" model has it.
Where did you find your model?

I really need to get the brushless, I too use the flexvolt for a lot of my work, it's absolutely amazing how powerful it is.
I have both brushless saws. I like the M18 better. Build quality is better, quieter. I only paid $113 for it too (Dewalt $90). Pricing under normal conditions makes Dewalt possibly a better buy. I am curious to see what you say.
i think the build quality is better on the Milwaukee but i like the weight and power of the Dewalt more
Already have a 7 1/4 and looking for something smaller, lighter, and cordless. Is the new brushless version of the Dewalt worth the 70 dollars over this brushed model or should I just pick up this brushed model?
From what I hear, the brushless model is worth it.
Well I'm commenting before I watched the whole thing. I just want to say any saw is great with Diablo blades, and honestly I think that is 70% of how well it performs.
agreed
Milwaukee circular saw number 👍
I'd love to see a comparison with the Dewalt and the M18 Fuel version of the same saw. This is the basic M18 model.
I’ll see if I can get the one from my rep and run some comparisons
I have the Dewalt 20V max brushless 6 1/2 with the brake. Powerful little saw. Great for quick cuts and rips.

The milwaukee fuel 6 1/2 is a step up from the regular non fuel.
the dewalt bogged down more.
you should see the new brushless dewalt, game changer
I bought my friend the 1st gen Milwaukee mini Impact bit driver and I have the brushless. His 1st gen always ripped bolts or screws out way harder than mine I don't even understand how.
I love the milwaukee even if its been out for 9 years

I'll go with the Milwaukee because I own one 😂
Brad you're not doing those saws any justice with those 2ah batteries. LoL grab that 6ah or the 8ah flexvolt.
lol, yeah i know, I need to get larger batteries for the milwaukee, I mostly owne M12 so haven't really needed the big boys yet, but it's coming :)
@@hammerandhome I'm going to post a video this week on how to hook a vac up to the DCS565 without the $30 DeWalt adapter.
I want to see the Dewalt brushless vs the Dewalt brushed
on its way
Someone did the comparison and the brushed was faster but the brushless had longer runtime I'll keep my brushed
OK my kinders. All the tools on the wall and table are yellow.
He has two tools in front of him.
One is yellow, one is red.
Which color tool do you think he will select? 👍
lol, not all the time, I like all the colors
Not a good comparison... A Dewalt Max (Brushless) vs a Milwaukee 18v (Brushed). Why not compare apples to apples and use a Milwaukee Fuel?
the dewalt is not brushless, I'll be getting that one soon. this is the Brushed model. it is apples to apples
Dude the dewalt brushed is a faster cutter than the fuel model, the dewalt brushless is faster than the Milwaukee fuel and the brushed dewalt is faster than both
@@loucifer323 I think the dewalt brushless DCS565B is faster and more powerful than the brushed version by far. haven't compared it to the fuel yet
@@hammerandhome Its not watch the tool rev, the brushed is faster than every dewalt cordless saw with the exception of the flexvolt 578
Dewalt 🤩
My saw doesnt like you either brad.....your dewalt is from chyyyyyna!!!!
haha, i'm pretty sure dewalt is from America and Red is from china :)
Both are from China but DeWalt is assembled here (to me that really doesn't matter) regardless they're great tools. I say that as a Milwaukee guy
Dewalt sounded like it was bogging
Wow I could have swarn that I commented on this vid ?? Hmmm kinda suspect..
what was your comment Devon? i actually haven't been on here all week
Thank you! But please!!!! Subtitules in spanish please!!!
Milwaukee more power geared low
Dewalt is king as usual
The Dewalt is way better
agreed, thx for watching
I don't agree build quality much better on milwaukee which = longer life contractors need long jevity in tools that's the sacrifice ..
@@devonkeller9703 What are you smoking dope, Dewalt tools last way longer, you never see old Milwaukee tools because they don't last
@ Lou cifer lol you must be on fynthnyl or something. Milwaukee has been around way longer inventing & perfecting the sawzall.. Amongst many other tools my friend better warranty bigger tool selection automotive tools etc I've been waiting for a dewalt battery ratchet for ages geesh dewalt just can't keep up it's pothetic come on Dewalt step your game up lmao.. Another dewalt fan boyee butt hurt!!!
@@devonkeller9703 And another Chinese supporter
The Dewalt is a Porsche and the Milwaukee is a ford crown victoria,
Both saws are outdated.
yeah they are, funny thing though. my old dewalt is still working and my 6month old brush less model is dying. now im back using this old one again
Niether one, they both are junk.
I love the dewalt for every day type cuts. But for ripping I’ll go with the worm drive.
