DeWalt DCS570B

80%of 15 owners recommend
80% recommend · 0% neutral · 20% don't
Owners praise
  • Has serious power for a cordless saw, with owners saying it rips through plywood and even bites into steel, and can stand in for a corded sidewinder
  • Full 7-1/4" blade gives real depth of cut and corded-like performance for framing and deck work
  • Integrated electric brake is a valued safety feature that sets it apart from some cheaper 6-1/2" options
Owners complain about
  • Some heavy users would rather step up to the 60V FlexVolt for more power on demanding work
  • The right-side blade and high handle position make it hard for some to track a straight cut
  • At least one owner ran into a baseplate/squareness issue that points to a possible damaged unit out of the box

What DeWalt DCS356B owners say

“well worth it. I've ran my DeWalt multi tool for miles, almost 10 years, and it's still going”
— @Tool_Addicted_Carpenter on YouTube
“The trigger is the best. You can roll on the power very smoothly.”
— @Everythingisgoingtobealright on YouTube
“The Pivot on the bldae holder gets in the way, although its quick to change blades, you cant get the depth of cut or see the cutting edge clearly in tight spaces, like underneath the sink etc, The Fein is so much more compact at the head.”
