To do this, use our list of the best cordless saws, which contains two categories: circular and chain.

Best cordless circular saws
The power tool with disk equipment allows you to carry out longitudinal and cross cuts, trim, cut grooves and other elements in the board and timber. Here is the rating of this category of tori used in the manufacture of furniture, roofing and cladding of gables and trunks.
DeWALT DCS576N
Rating: 4.9
The first place in the rating is occupied by the product of the American company DeWalt. The battery-powered saw has a 190 mm diameter blade that can rotate at 5800 rpm. When sawing wood at an angle of 90 degrees, such a saw can cut a thickness of up to 6.1 cm. In the case of sawing at 45 degrees, the figure will be 4.3 cm. The manufacturer provides a wide selection of guide rulers, which will allow cutting with high precision on long workpieces. From the rotation of the motor, the air flow is directed to the saw blade to constantly clean the cutting line and provide good visibility to the operator. Numerous reviews show that the saw is not inferior to network models in terms of power.
Our experts have rated the saw for its extended service life. This is facilitated by the brushless motor technology, which reduces heat during operation and requires no maintenance. The power tool also has a very smooth sole. This comes in handy when handling rough wood, making it easier to guide the surface. The presence of a backlight allows you to work in poorly lit places at a construction site without additional broaching of the searchlight.
Advantages
- the manufacturer provides a 3-year warranty;
- comfortable engraved scale in centimeters on the sole;
- fully rubberized handle;
- long service life of the motor;
- blowing off dust from the cutting line.
disadvantages
- high price;
- weighs 3.7 kg;
- two keys are required to replace the disk;
- sold without battery;
- revolutions are always at maximum.
Makita HS301DWME
Rating: 4.8
The second place in the rating is occupied by the Japanese saw from the manufacturer Makita. The power tool has a disc with a diameter of 85 mm, which allows sawing at a right angle to a thickness of 2.55 cm, and when cutting at 45 degrees – 1.65 cm. The battery produces a voltage of 10.8 V, and a capacity of 4.0 A / h is enough for half a day of work. With two batteries, you can work all day. The Li-lon battery does not have a 'memory', therefore it is allowed to recharge it at any time. Masters in the reviews note the comfortable holding of the saw in the hand (other models have a much thicker handle).
Our experts included the saw in the rating because of its compactness. Due to its small dimensions 313x170x155 mm and a weight of 1.6 kg, it is easy to handle when laying laminate or parquet. The manufacturer also provides two batteries with a capacity of 4.0 A / h in the kit at once, which is superior to competitors (for example, Bosch completes a similar model with 2.0 A / h). For the convenience of transportation from object to object, a plastic case is provided.
Advantages
- leaves no chipping on plywood;
- an even cut even without a tire;
- batteries with a capacity of 4.0 A / h;
- quiet operation of the motor.
disadvantages
- high price;
- sometimes users do not have enough disc diameter;
- to replace the brushes, you will have to disassemble the case;
- only 1500 rpm.
RYOBI R18CS-0
Rating: 4.7
We gave the third place in the ranking to another Japanese saw with a 165 mm blade. The unit is able to spin it up to 4700 rpm due to the connection to a powerful battery with a voltage of 18 V. The saw will cut a board with a section of 5.2 cm at a right angle, and with an oblique cut it will cope with a depth of 3.6 cm. For ease of guidance, a second T-shaped handle is provided. To keep the workshop clean, the hood is equipped with a dust collector connection. The protective folding part of the saw is transparent, which makes it easier to control the guide from below. The degree scale is chiseled, not drawn, so it won't rub off. In the reviews, the owners praise the saw for a confident longitudinal cut of oak, even with a board thickness of 3.0 cm. Cross-cutting is also carried out without problems.
We have highlighted this saw in the ranking as the most affordable among the quality tools. It is also compatible with batteries from the same manufacturer from other devices, so you can save money. If you equip it with a 5.0 A / h battery, you will be able to saw about 100 boards with a cross section of 4×10 cm. This product is the best option for trimming a wind board, covering a pediment or lining.
Advantages
- 4700 rpm;
- high power from 18 V battery;
- optimal weight 2.4 kg;
- attractive price.
disadvantages
- the brush motor needs maintenance;
- no speed control;
- sold without battery;
- no shipping case.
Best cordless chain saws
Chainsaws are used in the construction of frame houses or log structures. When erecting a building remotely from the power line, tool options with batteries are used. They also make it convenient to care for trees in the garden or to harvest firewood in the forest belt.
STIHL MSA 140 C – BQ – AK30-AL101
Rating: 4.9
The first place in the rating is a chain saw with a 30 cm bar. The battery is inserted into the upper compartment and does not weigh down the rear of the tool. The unit is equipped with a chain brake to help stop the cutting head when bouncing or releasing the button. The battery voltage is 36V, which produces the same power as mains-powered models. The device operates at one speed. The main handle is fully covered with anti-slip rubber. The owners in the reviews share that the saw is easy to maintain – the wall of the oil tank is transparent and can be easily seen when topping up is required. You can tension the chain in two touches using a twist drive on the right side of the body.
In our opinion, the saw has earned a place in the ranking of the best due to its light weight of 2.5 kg. Thanks to this, some manage to work with it with one hand on the tree, reaching out and cutting off the upper branches. The manufacturer also equipped it with the most capacious 5.0 A / h battery, surpassing the performance of competitors.
Advantages
- light weight 2.5 kg;
- included battery with a capacity of 5.0 A / h;
- there is a quick chain tensioner;
- autonomous work up to 40 minutes.
disadvantages
- loud operation 94 dB;
- high price;
- the chain must be regularly edited with a round file;
- it takes 1.5 hours to fully charge.
Husqvarna 436 Li
Rating: 4.8
In second place in the rating was a saw with a 3/8-inch chain and a 35 cm bar. The mechanism is equipped with a brake that increases safety during operation. If the tire bounces, then the bump stop immediately rests on the hand and stops the process. To adjust the tension, a folding swivel mechanism is provided that does not require special keys. The main saw handle is equipped with several anti-slip pads. The second handle is C-shaped, and allows you to comfortably grip the device for cutting at any angle. Users in the reviews share that they were even able to convert it by installing a 40 cm long tire and a chain from Pawer Sharp. Such re-equipment allows it to be used on thicker sections of logs.
Our experts evaluated the model and added it to the rating due to the optimal weight distribution. Its engine is located across the body, which reduces the dimensions of the saw. The battery is built in the middle, so the load is evenly distributed on both hands. Thanks to this design, the saw is convenient for precise cutouts for window and door openings, so that, due to hand fatigue, it does not leave the marking line.
Advantages
- tool-free saw chain tension;
- the power inherent in gasoline models;
- double start button (first pressing from above, then from below) for safe operation;
- easy cutting of wood of any density;
- the battery has a charge indicator to help you navigate the remaining runtime.
disadvantages
- inconvenient oil filler neck;
- saws, making a sound with a volume of 110 dB;
- high price;
- comes with a 3.0 Ah battery, which is inferior to other models.
