In this video, I break down my picks for the top 5 best circular saws you can buy right now, based on the stuff that actually matters: real cutting performance, quality-price, durability, and what users are saying. I also dropped the links in the description so you can quickly check pricing and see which one fits your budget range. I start with the Makita 5377 Magnesium Hypoid Saw—yes, it’s corded and yes, it’s a worm drive style saw, but if you’re choosing the best circular saw, you’d be foolish not to look here. It’s a cutting beast through heavy pressure-treated 2x10s, and you’re never dealing with surprise power loss mid-cut. Then I cover cordless options that bring serious performance, like the DeWalt 20V MAX XR that made so many passes in our test we ran out of wood before the battery faded, plus the lighter, compact DeWalt 20V Max that’s easy to maneuver in tight spaces. I also include a solid corded workshop pick (Makita 5007MG) with LEDs and a dust blower, and a near “table-saw accurate” cordless option from Bosch with an accessory track setup for dead-straight rips and crosscuts.
