Best mini circular saw

Updated: 22 October 2026

“Best” only means something once you name the job. Laminate beside a socket is a different buy from a kit with no power nearby, and a 4.8 from 17 reviews is thinner evidence than a 4.4 from 2,050. This page picks from the ten amazon.co.uk listings in our [mini circular saw comparison](/hub/power-saws/mini-circular-saw), captured on 20 October 2026. Peter F. compared those listings and public UK sources. There was no lab test. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The checklist is the [mini circular saw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/mini-circular-saw/sub/mini-circular-saw-buying-guide).

Best for thin sheet near a socket

For 18 mm sheet beside a socket, an 85 mm corded saw is enough on the printed depths. The Enventor 76601L-1 at £49.99 states 0–27 mm, prints a 10 mm bore, and shows 4.1 from 986 reviews. It does not print a bevel. The GALAX PRO at £42.99 shows 4.4 from 191 reviews, with 28.5 mm and 27 mm both printed. Skip both for a 47 mm stud. That limit is the 85 mm or 115 mm mini circular saw page.

Best-evidenced 115 mm corded saw

Towards 40 mm, the count you can read as a pattern is the DOVAMAN MCS01A: £69.32, 43 mm at 90° and 29 mm at 45°, 4.4 from 2,050 reviews. UK reviews dislike the right-angle hose. The Enventor 705 W states 42.8 mm and 28 mm, with 4.2 from 335. The Enventor 580 W 115 mm at £42.89 is 4.8 from 17, and the page prints 580 W against a 1,300 W components line. The HYCHIKA at £36.54 states 48 mm and 32 mm, from 17 reviews.

Best if you cannot use a cable

Without a socket, buy a box that contains a battery. The DCA at £89.99 lists one 4.0 Ah pack and a 2 A charger, 45 mm at 0°, and 4.5 from 26 reviews. The details line says two 12 V batteries. A UK review says the 0° mark was several degrees out. The WORKPRO at £129.99 is 4.7 from 25 reviews, with a fast charger stated at about two hours. Stay with the DCA if the deeper stated cut matters more. Bare tools are on the corded or cordless mini circular saw page.

Who should skip a row

Skip the JOJOCY if you came for an 85 mm or 115 mm saw. It is a bare 150 mm tool at £58.99, 3.8 from 8 reviews. Skip the HuuppHip unless a DeWalt pack you own is one a review also accepts. One UK review says PowerStack packs do not run it. Fewer than 30 reviews is a small sample. DeWalt’s DCS571 is not a row here, and the brand pages do not agree on one depth.

Common questions

Which one has the largest UK review count in this set?
The DOVAMAN MCS01A shows 4.4 from 2,050 reviews on the amazon.co.uk capture. The Enventor 85 mm is next at 4.1 from 986, then the Enventor 705 W at 4.2 from 335, then the GALAX PRO at 4.4 from 191. Averages from 8, 16, 17, 25, or 26 reviews are real listings, and they are a much smaller sample. Use the count beside the stars, not the stars alone.
Is the 4.8-star Enventor the winner?
It is 4.8 from 17 reviews, at £42.89, with 0–43 mm stated and no laser in the bullets. That is the highest average here and a small sample, and the listing also prints 580 W against a 1,300 W components line. The highest score in our comparison sits on that row because of the stated depth and the price, with those limits still attached. It does not replace the DOVAMAN if you want thousands of reviews.
When is the WORKPRO kit worth £129.99?
When you need a cordless 115 mm saw and the box must include the 4.0 Ah pack and charger. The capture is 4.7 from 25 reviews, with 42.8 mm vertical and 28 mm on the bevel. It is a weak buy beside a socket, where corded 115 mm saws start at £36.54, or if you need a measured runtime. Short life on 12 mm ply is a complaint, not a minute count.
Who should skip the bare HuuppHip and JOJOCY?
Skip both if you do not already own a pack the listing accepts. The HuuppHip claims DeWalt 18 V and 21 V packs and has no battery; one review says PowerStack packs do not run it. The JOJOCY claims a Makita 18 V pack, ships without one, and is a 150 mm saw rather than an 85 mm mini saw. At £58.99 each they look cheaper than the DCA kit until the missing battery is priced in.
Is a DeWalt compact saw in this comparison?
No. DeWalt’s UK DCS571N is the trade saw many roundups rank first, and it is tool only on the brand site. The overview states 38 mm at 90° and 25 mm at 45°, while other DeWalt tables print different depths. We do not merge those figures, and we do not copy a price from a 20 V MAX listing into this set. If you want that saw, buy it from a page that is actually the UK 18 V tool.
