Battery tech has come a long way, and in this video I break down my Top 5 best cordless circular saws for 2025—some of which can even run the same 7-1/4-inch blades you’d normally expect from corded saws. I built this list based on price, performance, durability, and real user feedback, so you can save money in the long run and buy the right saw the first time. If you want current pricing, I always keep the latest links in the description. I start with the Makita XSS02Z because it’s packed with cutting-edge tech like Automatic Speed Technology that adjusts speed and torque depending on what you’re cutting, plus a brushless motor for longer runtime and seals that help protect it from water and dust. I also cover the Bosch CCS180B for its battery protection system, 50° bevel, and electronic brake, then the value-focused PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX with strong 4000 RPM cutting power (with a few durability trade-offs). For lightweight handling and awkward cuts, the BLACK+DECKER 5-1/2-inch is a solid compact option. And if you want a bigger blade in a cordless platform, I finish with the DeWalt 20V MAX 7-1/4-inch with a 5200 RPM brushless motor and a wide bevel range.
