GALAX PRO 20V Cordless Laser Mini Circular Saw, Adjustable Depth Angle-Grey

To be honest I'm really struggling to see why there are so many negative reviews about this little saw. I started to use it today for the first time and I've never used it before and it came with a nice 2ah charging pack slightly bigger than the one that's standard on the photo and I think this seems to be the case these days but you will not be disappointed with this saw it has been absolutely exemplary. Furthermore the issue regarding the laser-guided light works fine and it's pretty accurate within 1 mm or so again I don't know what all the negative reviews are about but saw has cut through a number of decking planks for me still has lots of charge left and as made easy work of the decking it also had the ability for me to do a drop cut you have to be careful with this as you have to leave the blade guard up but I managed to get the saw into the decking and created easy work for myself going along 7 planks with no issues at all There is no issue with the charging as per previous review as you simply plug the DC plug adapter into the battery. No faffing or breaking possible. it's super light and the battery pack charges very quickly from the mains. I definitely will be using this as my go to circular saw for future use for day-to-day cuts and anything larger will have to be used with the larger circular saw which is mains operated I do agree that in some respects they've tried to keep the cost down by using for example the plastic instead of metal when you're aligning the cutting width and you can see there are a little bit of plastic around the item rather than actually maybe stainless steel but this is cosmetic and to be honest for occasional use the diyer highly recommend it and moreover it allows you to cut thicker pieces of wood which is typically not the case with most mini circular saws as you will see on Amazon if you look at their cutting depth I have no hesitation in recommending this product

What can I say about this very useful tool after reading some reviews a few negative I can only say very good it sawed a 4ins strip of a 8 ft board twice I'm over the moon with my saw thumbs up. But alas after using it to do this small task it has stopped working

Given the £58 price tag I did not expect too much from this saw, especially as it comes with a battery that alone costs £33, but it's not *that* bad... Nice design and sturdy, it packs a lot of features, tiltable base, laser guide, adjustable depth, etc. It's a great tool, but it's not perfect... I was cutting 6 stacked sheets of 5mm ply (so around 30mm thick) and the saw would stop every few inches. Max cutting depth on the saw is nearly 50mm, so I'm not sure if the blade was getting pinched, jammed or the saw or battery simply didn't have to power to cut that much though. I did eventually get through all the ply, but it took far more time than it should have and several recharges of the battery. Fortunately I have several GALAX Pro tools so had spare batteries... This is a good 'starter' circular saw, if you can get on with it then great, otherwise upgrade later to a more powerful one.

I do like this tool, was working great but then the motor played up. I am looking at buying again. The blade does not run at a speed to be able to cut anything as seen in attached video. The 30 days return policy was interesting to get round on a defective product, you need to contact a Amazon customer service agent. They were very helpful so a refund was agreed on

Broke 1 day after Amazon warrenty. 31 days I've had this used it 4 times and it just stopped working

Great tool made well and weighty I haven’t used it yet but hopefully it will be useful

When I found this I was skeptical battery powered would it be any good. I can tell you now this is brilliant, I’ve used it for ceramic tiles, wood and even cutting some previously laid ply (22mm). As long as you have the same right disc this thing does it all. Now for the down side the battery is 2.0mah as a result you’re not going to be able to work all day with one battery. I found it was able to do around 2m ceramic cuts 11mm thick. 6-8m wood and 4-5m 22mm ply, the recharge time was decent and as I bought a second product I had 2 so I was able to swap between them. I dont think this is meant for trade people but if you’re doing some diy and need one I’d recommend it!

After another time consuming visit to my local builders merchant, where I had to cut up several 8x4 sheets of plywood by hand to get them in the car. I decided enough is enough. I need a cordless saw. I decided that being as I have several corded saws. I would not spend to much on it, so price was a major factor in choosing one. But what a result. This is a brilliant bit of kit. It looks and feels well made. Even has a laser and 2 blades. I have only cut 11mm ply with it but it works brilliantly. As with all these cordless tools they have their limits, but for me its a great purchase. I will look at there other tools and buy an extra battery.
