Is the Greenworks Pro brushless circular saw good for cutting plywood and 2x4s?

Yes for occasional cuts in plywood and softwood 2x4s. The 7-1/4 inch blade and 6,000 rpm speed handle standard dimensional lumber. Hardwood and wet pressure-treated stock will cut slower.

How long does the included 2.05 Ah battery last?

Expect a modest number of crosscuts per charge, not a full day of framing. The small pack is the main limit on this saw. Buy a larger 24V battery if you plan long cutting sessions.

Does it use standard 7-1/4 inch blades?

Yes. It takes common 7-1/4 inch circular saw blades with a standard arbor, so you can swap in a fine-tooth or framing blade.

What comes in the box?

The saw, one 24V 2.05 Ah battery and a charger. No blade is guaranteed in every kit, so check before you plan a first cut.

Is it compatible with other Greenworks 24V batteries?

Yes. It runs on the Greenworks 24V battery platform, so packs from other 24V Greenworks tools fit.

How does it compare with a corded circular saw?

A corded saw gives constant power and unlimited runtime for less money. This one trades that for cordless convenience and a brushless motor, which suits light jobs better than heavy framing.
