Cordless Saws
Cordless Saws: Circular, Track, Recip, Jig, and More
Cordless saws cover most cutting tasks on a jobsite without running cords. Circular saws here include Makita 18V X2 LXT (36V) 7-1/4-inch saws, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL rear handle 7-1/4", and the DeWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX worm drive style saw. Track saws come from Makita, Milwaukee, and DeWALT FLEXVOLT. Reciprocating saws range from the Milwaukee Hackzall and Super Sawzall to the DeWALT ATOMIC one-handed and compact XR saws. Jigsaws come from Milwaukee, DeWALT, and Makita, and Milwaukee adds an M18 FUEL 8-1/4-inch table saw and 7-1/4 miter saw.
What to Look For
- Saw type. Circular saws rip and crosscut lumber. Track saws cut sheet goods straight. Recip saws handle demolition.
- Blade size. 7-1/4-inch circular saws match corded capacity. 6-1/2-inch track saws trade depth for precision.
- Handle style. Rear handle and worm drive style saws suit framers. Sidewinders are lighter.
- Battery draw. High-demand saws run best on larger packs, FLEXVOLT, or X2 dual battery setups.

Cordless Saws FAQ
What does X2 or 36V mean on Makita saws?
Makita X2 tools run on two 18V LXT batteries at once for 36V of power. You keep using the same 18V LXT packs you already own.
Hackzall or Sawzall?
The Hackzall is Milwaukee's one-handed compact recip saw for overhead and tight cuts. The Super Sawzall is a full-size two-handed saw for heavy demolition.
