> Any recommendations on this tool?
Unless it absolutely has to be cordless (eg no power anywhere), I'd suggest
a corded model. Cheaper, lighter, more powerful, more rugged. And while a
cord is definitely a hassle, so is having to deal with batteries.
If you are a long way from power, get a heavy gauge cord to get close to
your work area (eg 100' 12 AWG) and then a shorter, lighter cord to let you
move around. Most saws don't require a safety ground, so the light cord can
also be only two wires.
My cheap B&D corded circular saw is pushing 30 years old and still cuts
fine. I was ripping some 3/4" OSB with it just the other day, and it will
still cut as fast as I care to push it. It's been apart for cleaning,
lubrication and brushes a few times over the decades, but otherwise has been
trouble-free.
And I've never had to climb off a ladder to change a battery <G>
