I'm looking for some advice on tools for cutting 3" thick pavers. I currently have a masonry saw, but it's a bit bulky for moving around the job site. Has anyone had success using a Dewalt tool for this, or can you suggest other options?

I haven’t used a Dewalt specifically, but I’ve had great results with concrete blades on circular saws. Just be cautious with the dust for the motor—it might not last long if you do it a lot, but it’s easier to handle than a big gas-powered saw!
I've had good luck using a 4-1/2" concrete blade on an angle grinder. Just score the pavers and then tap them with a rubber mallet, and they break cleanly. It’s a bit more mobile than a larger saw!
My neighbor rented a landscape brick guillotine, and it worked like a charm. Very fast cuts, no dust at all, and it’s pretty clean. Definitely worth considering if you’re doing a larger project!
I've tried that too! Works well, but having a second person to keep the hose on the cut helps with dust. For bigger jobs, I prefer concrete saws, but they’re definitely heavy.
