HIKOKI 18V Brushless 165 mm Circular Saw HK-C1806DAW4Z (Tool Only)

Among cordless circular saws, the HIKOKI HK-C1806DAW4Z stands out by pairing a high-efficiency brushless motor with a remarkably compact 165 mm blade platform, delivering corded-like cutting power without the tether. Unlike many rivals that compromise on depth or runtime, this model achieves a full 66 mm cut at 90° and a genuine 45° bevel range, all within a lightweight, right-hand blade design that feels natural on the job site.

Highlights

• Brushless motor technology for longer runtime, less maintenance, and consistent power
• 165 mm (6-1/2") blade with 20 mm arbor for common blade availability
• No-load speed of 4,500 RPM for fast, clean cuts in wood and board materials
• Aluminum base plate for durability and accurate bevel settings from 0° to 45°
• Integrated LED work light, electric brake, soft start, and dust blower for clear sightlines
• Tool only – compatible with all HIKOKI 18V and MultiVolt Li-ion batteries

In daily use

From framing lumber to sheet goods, the saw's soft-start motor spools up smoothly, while the electric brake stops the blade quickly for safer repositioning between cuts. The dust blower keeps the cut line visible, and the LED light helps in dimly lit areas. At only 97 dB(A) sound pressure and vibration under 2.5 m/s², it remains comfortable during extended use. The right-hand blade orientation provides a clear view for most right-handed users, and the soft grip handle reduces fatigue.
