Thanks everyone for your input! I'll definitely check out that article @livewithrichard mentioned (Overview of the Skil CR5440B-10 Circular Saw) and see if this circular saw might be a good fit for me.

I haven't used it personally, but there's a good article with an overview of it at Overview of the Skil CR5440B-10 Circular Saw. Maybe that can help you get a clearer idea.

Thanks for the link! So it has a 7-1/4 inch blade and operates at a no-load speed of 5,300 RPM. What about its battery capacity?

The Skil CR5440B-10 comes with a 20-volt battery with a 4 Ah capacity. It's pretty powerful, I've used it for some heavy-duty tasks and it performed quite well.

That's great to know! So the motor brake feature should help with stopping the blade quickly in case of an emergency?

Yes, that's correct. The motor brake helps to stop the saw more quickly when you're not cutting, which can be really useful in certain situations.

I have been using this saw for a few months now and I must say it has been quite impressive. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and the battery life is pretty decent too. Highly recommended!
