I'm in the market for a new circular saw since I often work with hardwood. I'm trying to decide whether to go with a cordless model or stick with a corded one to ensure I have enough power. What would be a good choice for me?

I'd also ask what specific cuts you'll be doing. Do you have other cordless tools? If you're cutting things like a white oak tabletop, Corded will give you a bit more power. Having some cordless Ryobi tools is great, and you could consider a circular saw with track capabilities if you want precision, but it's not a must-have.
If you’re mainly working in a shop, I'd recommend going with a corded saw. It’s typically more cost-effective and can handle most hardwood cuts without running out of battery. But if you plan to use it on job sites or move around a lot, a cordless model might be the better choice for convenience.
Totally agree! Corded saws save you money in the long run and just keep going without the worry of battery life.
Thanks for the input! I'm mostly focusing on that oak cross cut for my tabletop, so it sounds like I should lean towards corded for that job.
