Festool HKC 55 KEB Cordless Circular Saw

This is honestly the saw I grab first in the workshop. The HKC 55 KEB is a cordless circular saw that you can attach a Festool guide rail directly to, giving you dead-straight cuts every time without the setup time of a track saw. On a job site it's essential. In the workshop it's the quick, reliable cut when you don't want to set up the big saw. The KickbackStop (KEB) adds a safety layer that kills the blade if it binds. Runs on the same 18V battery system as all Festool cordless tools. 55mm cutting depth, clean cuts, zero hassle.
