I'm on the hunt for a small M18 handle-style circular saw, similar to the corded models from other brands. I'm specifically looking for something around 4 1/2". Does Milwaukee offer anything in that size?

The smallest circular saw Milwaukee makes is a 5-3/8" model. They also have a cut-off tool, but keep in mind that its max cutting depth is under 1".
I really wish Milwaukee had a smaller option. For minor tasks, the 3" cut-off tool works, but it lacks the depth for cutting standard 1.5" lumber. That leaves me using my big 7-1/4" circular saw or my miter saw, and honestly, neither is as convenient. I’ve thought about getting the DeWalt and using a battery adapter, but I’m worried about battery damage. Plus, I've seen other brands on Amazon that offer a battery and charger combo for less than the DeWalt tool. Come on, Milwaukee, take my money already!

Do you have a link to the 3" model? I’ve been searching but can't find it. Right now, I just need to cut 1/8" material, so it might work perfectly for me.
