The verdictOur take

Milwaukee's current 165mm FUEL saw, billed as its most powerful in that size and sitting above the older CCS55. On spec it runs at 6000rpm with 57mm of depth at 90° and a 0 to 50° bevel, on a notably light 2.9kg body. Vibration is low at 1.88 m/s² (Milwaukee's figure at the side handle, 1.13 at the main handle), though at 96.8 dB(A) it is louder than the quieter CCS55. An integrated LED is included. A strong choice for a chippy who wants a light, fast 165mm saw on M18.
