It doesn’t matter if you like a top handle, rear handle, compact or full size, Makita offers a wide variety of circular saws. So let’s take a look at this top handle beast and jump into the Makita 18V Circular Saw Review.

The Makita DHS660 Brushless Circular Saw has an indication lamp for Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT).

Makita 18V Circular Saw Performance
I have been using this to cut backing, and more. I love how the saw handles for a top handle saw. The saw is smooth and easy to control while making cuts.
I do like the dust blower as it does a great job keeping the cutline visible.
Overall it’s hard to knock this saw. It’s powerful and has great runtime.

For every work site this has plenty of power and runtime. Although I still prefer the rear handle saw from the Makita, this is a matter of preference. Many who want a top handle saw should avoid looking for a circular saw, because they will love this. Also impressive is the 36V platform Makita has.
