Our take on the Milwaukee 2521-20x5 M12 FUEL 12V Cordless Circular Saw w/ 2 - M12 5AH Batteries

The Milwaukee 2521-20 is a compact 12V cordless circular saw built on the M12 FUEL brushless platform. Its main draw is size: it is small and light enough to cut one-handed in tight spots where an 18V saw will not fit. It suits trim carpenters, electricians and remodelers who already own M12 batteries, and it comes with two 5.0Ah packs. Against 18V saws it trades power and depth of cut for portability, so it is a second saw rather than a framing saw.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a handy compact saw for trim, plywood and quick cuts, and praise the size and the M12 battery sharing. Most say it is not meant for heavy framing and expect slower cutting in thick stock.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners like how small and light it is for one-handed and overhead work.
  • PowerMixedIt handles trim and thin stock well but bogs down in thicker or wet material.
  • BatteryMixedThe 5.0Ah packs give useful runtime for light cuts but drain fast in continuous use.
  • Cut depthCriticisedThe small blade limits how thick a board it can cut through.
  • BuildPraisedThe brushless FUEL motor and overload protection are seen as durable for a 12V tool.

Questions and answers

Is this saw good enough for framing?
No. It is a compact 12V saw for trim, plywood and light cuts. Framing and thick stock call for an 18V saw.
What comes in the box?
The saw, two M12 5.0Ah XC batteries and the owner's manual. A charger is not listed, so check before buying if you need one.
Does it use the same batteries as other M12 tools?
Yes. It runs on any M12 battery and shares the platform with more than 70 Milwaukee M12 tools.
How deep can it cut?
It is a small-blade compact saw, so depth of cut is limited. It is made for trim and sheet goods, not deep crosscuts.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Milwaukee backs it with a 2-year limited factory warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
