The DEWALT DCS571P1 earns a 4.8-star rating from 585 buyers and bundles a 20V MAX circular saw with a battery and charger at $329. The 11.2-pound listed weight reflects the included battery mass, so buyers who already own 20V MAX batteries may find the tool-only DCS571B a more economical route to the same saw.

585 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The DEWALT DCS571P1 packages a 20V MAX cordless circular saw with a battery and charger at $329, giving buyers a complete kit out of the box. The 4.8-star rating from 585 reviews is the highest in this batch, though the review count is modest compared to the tool-only sibling. At 11.2 pounds, the kit weight is notably heavier than bare-tool comparisons in this class.
The 2-inch cutting capacity mirrors the DCS571B, keeping this saw in the same use-case bracket: sheet goods, trim work, and standard dimensional lumber at that depth. The high speed steel blade is spec'd for those applications.
Buyers without any DEWALT battery collection will find the kit pricing convenient. Those already on the 20V MAX platform may find better value purchasing the DCS571B bare tool and pairing it with batteries they already own, saving roughly $160 at the listed prices.

Performance notes
The DCS571P1 runs on a 20V MAX battery and lists 11.2 pounds as the kit weight with battery. The 2-inch cutting capacity applies to standard sheet goods and dimensional lumber at that depth range. No speed (RPM) or motor wattage figure is published in this listing. High speed steel is listed as the blade material.
What buyers say
Buyers rate the DCS571P1 highly and appreciate the convenience of a ready-to-use kit. Some note that the overall weight with the battery attached makes it less ideal for prolonged overhead work. The limited review count compared to the tool-only version means the 4.8-star average, while very strong, draws from a narrower sample.
