Review on CRAFTSMAN CMES500 Circular Saw - Powerful 13-Amp Blade For Precise Cuts by Ryan Barton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice starter circular saw

This little circular saw is perfect for me. The size is right. It’s not super light, as it does have some heft to it, but it’s light enough for me to handle.This will be my first circular saw so this Craftsman is a great place to start. It’s inexpensive, small, and comes with one blade.I can ‘practice’ with this one, starting out with small jobs, and then graduate up to something bigger if I want to. Or, just keep with my simple jobs and go on with this small one.A nice little circular saw at a great price.

Pros
  • I like it a lot and it’s light
Cons
  • The blade has a tendency to overheat during extended use, requiring frequent breaks
