Which one should you buy?

For most people the best value here is the DeWalt DCS570N XR at around 289 dollars, a brushless cordless saw with a full 184mm blade and a 65mm depth of cut that handles framing and sheet timber, sold as a skin so you slot it onto a battery platform you may already own. Buy the Ryobi 18V ONE+ at 93 dollars if you want the cheapest way into a big DIY battery family with a 5.5 inch blade, the HYCHIKA 750W at 118 dollars if you want a corded compact mini saw with blades included for small cuts, or the Milwaukee M18 at 215 dollars if you are already on the M18 platform and want trade-grade power. The Bosch 18V at 297 dollars is the pick that ships with a battery and charger in the box rather than as a bare skin. Step up to the Makita DHS680Z at 299 dollars only if you want the highest-rated, most-reviewed trade saw here and already own LXT batteries, since it too is sold as a skin. The single best value, though, is the DeWalt.
