Used Cordless Circular Saw Puts My New Craftsman Out to Pasture

I received a very nice Craftsman corded circular saw for Christmas last year but couldn't pass up a used cordless circular saw I saw on eBay. It came without battery and an old blade, but with batteries from my cordless drill and a new blade, this has been my best tool purchase in a long time. I used this to cut mainly 2x stock for a deck railing and reinforcement project and was able to use this all day long without the arm fatigue my heavier corded saw caused. I also like that the blade stopped almost as soon as I let up on the trigger switch. The 18V battery powered the saw with ample force to cut cleanly and allowed me to make very accurate cuts. It also required minimal battery changes during the work day and the batteries recharged quickly. The sole plate was broad enough for accurate vertical cuts and slid smoothly over the board surfaces. Even a long rip cut in a 1x3 went smoothly and accurately thanks to its good balance. Two drawbacks cropped up over the several days of use. First, the guide slot on the front of the saw does not quite line up with the blade--but the blade is easily visible as you cut and so guiding the blade along the cut line is very easy. Second, the lever to keep the sole plate locked had a tendency to loosen over a number of cuts and could use some tensioning. Perhaps a washer underneath will cure that. Given that this was a used tool, some of this may be due to previous use, but all in all, I am very pleased with the DeWalt DC390 and it will be my go-to saw for cutting jobs from now on.Read full review

Nice addition to my tool bin

The saw looked good for being used. The blade was a disaster, but that was okay. It worked very well with a new blade, for all the cutting that I do it should last a long time.
