A cordless circular saw offers a simple yet effective way to make quick and accurate cuts. Whether you’re working with wood, plastic, or metal, the right option can make your life a good deal easier. Offering mobility, ease of use and versatility, a cordless mini circular saw offers everyone from DIY beginners to time-served joiners the opportunity to make accurate cutting a breeze.

But how do you know which cordless mini circular saw to buy when there are so many on the market today? We’ve put together this buyer's guide to make your decision a little easier.

What Does a Circular Saw with Cordless Power Do?

There’s a reason the circular saw is the go-to option for DIYers and qualified tradespeople — it’s easy to use and very accurate. These two attributes make it ideal for a range of cutting tasks, including:

• Cutting large timbers
• Cutting firewood
• Cutting sheet metals
• Cutting at angles
• Cutting wood and metal at speed

A circular saw that’s cordless with a battery contains a circular, toothed blade that spins at a range of speeds. Handheld and free from a wire, it gives the user the perfect combination of speed and accuracy.
