Why We Love This Deal
While Black Friday may not officially be here, some retailers like Walmart are offering pretty hard-hitting discounts on tools and tool accessories ahead of the big day. There, you'll find steals on Dickies workwear, wall-mounted tool racks, and rolling tool chests with some pretty decent pricing. The deal that’s got even the pros drooling, however, is the DeWalt Flexvolt circular saw, especially with its nearly half-off discount.
The DeWalt Flexvolt Max 7 1/4-Inch 60V Brushless Circular Saw is on sale for $159 at Walmart, a 47% discount off its full price of $299. This enhanced power saw is ready for professional use and backed by guys who use it every day in the field.

Powerful enough for the pros, this circular saw is made for heavy ripping, demo work, framing, and anything that demands brute power. It delivers up to 47% more power than its previous iteration (DCS575) and cranks out an impressive 2,456 UWO with a 5,800 RPM no-load speed that rivals corded saws. It has a 2 9/16-inch cut depth at 90 degrees and handles 2x lumber in a single pass, while its 57-degree bevel capacity (with stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees) makes it extremely versatile on any jobsite. Plus, its electric brake halts the blade on a dime for additional safety. Bonus points for its impressive LED light, too.
The Flexvolt compatibility is the true winner here, allowing you to use both 20V and 60V tools with the appropriate battery. Basically, if you already own DeWalt's Flexvolt batteries, they'll automatically switch voltage and run at the respective level of the tool it's plugged into. While Flexvolt batteries are a little costly, you can snag a set on Amazon for 27% off (with its on-page coupon).
As for this sale price, it’s about as low as you can find online right now for this model saw (DCS578B). Over at The Home Depot, for example, it's still full price at $299.

What Guys Are Saying
While reviews are on the scarce side, those who left remarks were quite impressed with its power and runtime.

Now under $160, this DeWalt Flexvolt Circular Saw is the ultimate splurge this holiday season, for yourself or as a gift. Grab one before this price, or the units themselves are gone for good.
