Do the POWERSTACK batteries work with other DeWalt 20V MAX tools?

Yes. DeWalt states the POWERSTACK compact battery works with all DeWalt 20V MAX power tools and chargers.

How deep can the circular saw cut?

Up to 2-1/8 in. at 90°, with bevel capacity up to 50°.

What is included in the kit?

The circular saw, the drill/driver, two POWERSTACK 1.7Ah batteries, a charger and a carrying case.

Is this kit enough for framing a deck?

The saw handles 2x lumber at 90°, but the compact batteries limit runtime. Most owners add a larger 20V MAX battery for long cutting sessions.

Does the drill have a hammer mode?

No. It is a drill/driver, not a hammer drill, so masonry drilling needs a separate tool.

Can I use the saw with a dust collection system?

Yes. The saw has an optional dust chute that connects to dust collection and stores on the rafter hook.

What reviewers say

Owners of DeWalt 20V MAX brushless kits generally rate the tools well for power and build, and the POWERSTACK batteries draw praise for being lighter and smaller than the older compact packs. The common complaint is runtime: the 1.7Ah packs drain quickly under continuous saw use, so many buy larger batteries for heavy cutting.

What people mention

Battery sizePraisedThe POWERSTACK packs are described as smaller and lighter than the older DCB203 compact battery.
Saw powerMixedReviewers find the saw capable for framing and decking but say it bogs down in thick or wet lumber.

AdjustmentsPraisedTool-free depth and bevel changes on the saw are seen as quick and accurate.

About the DeWALT 20V MAX Brushless Circular Saw and Drill POWERSTACK 1.7Ah Combo Kit

This kit pairs a 20V MAX brushless circular saw with a brushless compact drill/driver. It comes with two DEWALT POWERSTACK compact batteries, a charger and a kit bag. The saw runs at 4,950 rpm and the drill/driver at 1,600 rpm.

The 6-1/2 in. saw cuts up to 2-1/8 in. deep at 90° and up to 1-5/8 in. deep at 45°. Tool-free depth and bevel adjustments let you set the bevel from 0 to 50°. A saw brake stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released. An optional dust chute works with DEWALT's AirLock system and any standard 35 mm dust extractor. Both tools have an integrated LED for dark work areas and handles designed for balance and control.

The drill/driver is 7-1/2 in. long and weighs 2-3/5 lbs. It delivers 340 UWO. The POWERSTACK battery has an overmolded base for impact resistance and an LED fuel gauge that shows the state of charge. It works with all DEWALT 20V MAX tools and chargers. DEWALT states it provides 50% more power than the DCB203 in a battery with a 25% smaller footprint.
