    Default Which Circular Saw?

    Im looking for a new circular Saw, any recommendations, has to be cordless. There doesnt seem to be much of a selection at places like screwfix and toolstation for cordless without buying a cordless set (drill, jisaw, saw, torch combo). And i only want the saw.

    Have been looking around and found a few interesting ones that are reasonably cheap but still look reasonable, as well as not having to spending a fortune on dewalt or makita. The best i have found are ryobi(one system)and aeg(they seem to come with lifetime guarantees)avail from k supplies

    One thing to take into consideration is replacement blade costs and availability, I was caught out by this a while ago, lent my old one to the Father in law to use, said it needed a blade, anyway, to cut a long story short, it was cheaper for him to by a saw with blade ! !

    Would personally buy decent branded, have a de-walt, more money granted, but more reliable, longer lasting & at the end of the day is allowable against your tax at end of year.
    However best cheaper option would be Ryobi

    I would go for the ryobi as suggested, you could spend twice as much and it wouldn't make any difference for what you're using it for. I have a cheapy for taking up floors and cutting ply rough then I have a £400 jobbie for hanging doors and kitchen fitting.

    Edit: in fact I wouldn't put my expensive saw anywhere a floor board in fear of hitting a nail £££££
