Background

The saw has a built in LED light to visibly aid the user. To ensure more durability the circular saw uses aluminum. The saw is going for $199.00 (as of October 2023). The device is intended for contractors as well as for everyday use for people at home. Another option that is available with this saw is the Milwaukee Circular Saw 2530-21XC, which comes with a better battery and charger, however the tool is the same. This other model is more expensive going for $339.00 (as of October 2023).
The saw is highly rated amongst consumers, but the general consensus among them is that this saw should be used for smaller projects. The way this saw is different from the other saws Milwaukee provides is that this saw is lightweight and easy to use. The other hand held saws Milwaukee provides are bigger and weigh a lot more and should be used for more heavy duty work.
