I'm considering getting a new circular saw and came across the Skil CR541802. Has anyone used it before?

Overview of the Skil CR541802 Circular Saw gives a good overview of the saw if you want to check it out. I found that the 4 Ah battery provides enough power for most tasks, but if you need more runtime, consider getting an extra battery.

Yeah, I've been using it for a few weeks now and really like it! It's pretty powerful and the cordless feature is great for moving around on jobsites.

Thanks for the advice! The cordless feature really appeals to me since I often work in tight spaces where a cord might get in the way.

It's definitely a game-changer. And it has a lot of useful features like depth adjustments and a motor brake, which I find really helpful.

I'm still on the fence about whether to go for this one or another model. Anybody have any other suggestions?

Well, I've heard good things about the DeWalt cordless circular saw as well. It has a higher max voltage and a bigger battery capacity.

True, but the Skil CR541802 is lighter and more compact, which is important to me for carrying around on job sites.

Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and your specific needs. Both are great options, so I'd recommend trying them out if possible before making a decision. And don't forget to check Overview of the Skil CR541802 Circular Saw for more detailed information.
