The blade guard’s uniquely shaped leading edge greatly reduces the instances of workpiece snagging. That’s OK, I prefer the stall over a rogue saw climbing out of the cut and siccing after my fleshy people parts. The wood shifted a bit, binding the blade. I did stall the blade once, but that was user error. Many were dismayed that the earlier version of this saw lacked a rafter hook. Compared to old school circular saws, this is a huge bonus. DeWALT DCS570 20-Volt MAX Circular Saw – Featuring Features The electric brake completely halts the blade in about 0.5 seconds. Like the protractor, the aluminum sole plate is bright, with easy to read markings. I never had to baby it or go any slower than I would with a corded saw.

But I’m used to being a lefty in a right-handers’ world, using right-bladed circular saws. Personally, I’d prefer a left-mounted blade.
