Einhell TE-CS 18/165 Li 18-Volt Power X-Change Cordless 6.5-Inch Circular Saw, Tool Only

So light and with the 4 AH battery I added it changes the project options!

Buena marca, muy buen articulo

Not great. No brake. Shoe adjustment knob in very awkward position. Needed a saw with the blade on the right occasionally and this is ok for price.

Price is good, but the product is a bit fragil

If you are a tool guy or gal, the first thing you’ll notice with this Einhell saw is an uncanny red and black resemblance to Milwaukee tools. Is Einhell a cheap knockoff? Absolutely not. Read on for a detailed comparison to 6 ½ Circular Saws from Milwaukee and Dewalt:First, Einhell is a highy regarded and longstanding brand from Germany yet new to the American market. Like Dewalt, Milwaukee and others, you’ll deep line of complementary tools with marching 18 volt batteries and chargers. Einhell is an official tool partner of BMW and that was enough to give me the confidence to try this excellent saw. When unboxing, I could immediately tell this saw is impressively built, solid, and ready to “get ‘er done!”EINHELL TE-CS POWER X VS MILWAUKEE M18 CORDLESS CIRCULAR SSAWAt current prices, the Einhell is about $25 cheaper than the Milwaukee yet packs in more RPM power, 4,200 vs 3,500. Importantly, both let you adjust bevel and depth. Both brands have good quality chargers (not included with this bare tool) and similar 18V lithium ion batteries. Since dust irritates my lungs when I work, the Einhell’s most impressive feature is its vacuum extraction adapter, not offered in this price range by either Milwaukee or Dewalt.EINHELL TE-CS POWER X VS DEWALT MAX CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAWI have more Dewalt power tools than any other and it is my go-to brand although I have an assortment of excellent Makita, too. The Dewalt features 5,150 RPMs, higher than the Einhell’s still good 4,200. However, at about $130 the Dewalt bare saw is almost double the price and no dust vacuum extraction is features. Dewalt does tout its 20 volt batteries yet in real world use there is little practical difference between 20V and 18V of other brands inc.uding Einhell.WHICH TO BUY?I’m not a pro contractor, so for me the Einhell hits the sweet spot between strength and every usability. It’s impressive and will now be my new everyday circular saw. Although the brand is new here, there is a toll free USA customer support number and a very impressive two year warranty. Very highly recommended.You’ll find a versatile selection of Einhell batteries available, too. The 5.2Ah version is not too heavy considering its capacity yet to lighten the load I find the 2.6Ah battery to be light and a great buy at about $40.Hope this too long review has been of some small help. Wishing you and yours the best of luck with your upcoming projects!

Ok, so I've been working with hand and power tools for a long time now, about 50 years, so I know a little about what works, what doesn't. and what you shouldn't even bother looking at. I do recall the days when every single freaking power tool you needed to use had to have an outlet and a long (sometimes very long) extension cord, which at times was just a plain headache. It figures that now that I'm retired, every conceivable power tool you need on a jobsite comes in a cordless option. This saw from Einhell is a nice tool to have around. It's not gonna rip everything, but for lighter woods, and depending on the blade, will make some jobs faster and easier. And, for those guys (and gals) like me who can't go a day without getting a migraine, this puppy is the quietest circular saw I've ever used. I have never heard of the Einhell company before, so checked them out. Got to say, I was pretty impressed by what I read. This is not some fly by not company that decided two weeks ago to start making power tools. They are well established across the globe, and seems the market in the United States is new to them. I've bought German made tools, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, and assorted products from there, and I have hardly ever been disappointed. Germans make some of the finest engineered products in the world, in my opinion. Anything coming Einhell I'd say would most likely fit into this same category. And, any company that BMW partners with (Formula E Motorsports) has got to have something going on. There's no way I believe BMW would take a chance with their reputation with anything other then a well established, more than qualified, manufacturer of tools to support their motorsports division. I could be wrong, but just don't see it any other way. I love this saw. I've used it for many jobs around my home, and makes using a circular saw much more convenient. For a pro carpenter, it's not gonna replace a heavy duty Milwaukee, or DeWalt saw, but when lighter jobs come up, and they do all the time when you don't need the power of a plug in saw, this would be nice to have in your arsenal of tools. This sells for $65.93 (as of this review), and an excellent price for this saw. Comes with battery and charger, and battery will work with basically their complete line of tools. Their line of tools is impressive, but still not available at many retailers here in the U.S., and selection is limited. But, if the rest of their tools are as nice as this, and at prices like this, I can't imagine it won't be long till a much bigger selection is available. A great tool at a very nice price.
