I am just about to start work on building some roofs.
In the past I have used a 190mm corded circ saw, cord was a bit of a hassle, and the 190 blade meant some of the cuts were just short - requiring finishing with a handsaw, it also tended to chew through sets of carbon brushes.
Have been looking at Cordless Circ saws for this job, I see loads of 165mm cordless saws, but not so many of the larger 190mm and 230mm.
The saw will be in my hand all day, a 230mm I can imagine is quite a lump - and only needed for certain larger cuts - a sharp handsaw can be put to use where needed.
I also see two battery, and single battery saws, presume my current Hitachi drill and driver batteries wont work, and specific high load batteries are required.
Any recommendations for cordless circular saws for roofing appreciated.
