Makita DHS680Z 18v Brushless Circular Saw 165mm Body Only
The DHS680 is Makita's first brushless circular saw, which becomes one of the latest member of Makita's impressive line up of 18v Lithium-ion cordless tools. Boasting a brand new brushless motor and some new in-built features, the DHS680 looks set to become one of the most popular cordless circular saws on the market.
Sold as body only. Batteries and chargers are sold separately. 
FEATURES

Highly efficient brushless motor, that has several benefits over the non brushed equivalent. Firstly, because their are no brushes within the motor, none of the battery power is wasted on creating the heat and friction that happens when using brushes, so consequently the battery lasts longer (per charge) and the energy created by the battery is far more efficient, allowing your tool to achieve higher capacities, so this saw will be able to cut longer, faster and into tougher materials
Another benefit of the brushless motor is that, because there are no moving/touching parts in the motor there is nothing wearing away at anything else and getting damaged. Your motor is actually going to be kept in far better condition than before
One more impressive new feature is the 'Automatic Speed Control' found on this saw. This feature allows the computer chip built into the saw to determine the most efficient cutting speed for the job that you're doing! It speeds up or reduces the speed of the saw making sure that it only uses the right amount of energy when required - making sure you get the most out of your saw, blade and battery
Another handy new feature is the battery state indicator which uses 3 LED lights to illuminate the amount of battery charge you have left so you'll never be caught without power just when you need it
Soft start for smooth start-up
Tool hanger allows you to hang the saw when not in use
Blower function blows sawdust off cutting line
Larger base than similar models that gives a more stable operation
Electronic current limiter for overload protection
Large lock off lever for ultimate safety
The twin LED job light ensures full visibility of the work piece
The Ergonomic soft grip and overall compact & lightweight design gives the user full control and comfort
Guide rail adaptor available separately 196953-0

Second one of these I've bought, adjustable scale on the front of the machine is a great idea so you can line the saw up precisely, biggest gripe I have with these cordless saws from Makita is that they have in my opinion have the saw blade on the wrong side of the machine, If it was on the right hand side the dust extractor would also be on the right, as it is being on the left, every time you cut anything you get covered in dust unless you put a vacuum on the exhaust, It's almost like it was designed by a left handed person, I've even complained to Makita about it not that they'll take any notice.

Good features, showing battery state, overload protection. Not sure about the hook because the battery has to be removed if you use it, easier to place the saw on a uncluttered surface. Light and easy to use, Overall a good addition to my tool kit.
