Where it sits among 165mm circular saws

Scaled against the 19 circular saws with a 165mm blade we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

The HS012G is Makita's 165mm saw on 40V XGT: 57mm depth and 5200rpm in a 2.5kg body, the same cutting as the 18V DHS660 with a little more speed and low 1.4 m/s² vibration. Worth it if you are already on XGT; on LXT the DHS660 does the same job.
