Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
One whitelisted hands-on source (Pro Tool Reviews, 8.1/10) was verified for this exact saw (the review's spec table names Model DCS570B, the bare tool). Over several weeks of cutting plywood, rough lumber, PT and MDF, the reviewer calls the DCS570 a legitimate corded-sidewinder replacement with smooth bevel detents and a fast electronic blade brake, and standout value, while flagging the push-in trigger safety and the absent rafter hook. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Legitimate corded-sidewinder replacement; keeps pace cutting 3/4-inch plywood and rough 2x6 lumber; Smooth depth and bevel adjustments with 22.5 and 45 degree bevel detents; Fast electronic blade brake and comfortable contoured handle with offset pommel.
Flagged: Push-in trigger safety; reviewer prefers a push-down style; No rafter or belt hook; Runtime limited versus corded (need to cycle two batteries on the charger).
Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, produced a hands-on review of this exact Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2732 saw. PTR scores it 9.4/10 and calls it one of the highest-performing cordless sidewinders available, winning a timed OSB rip test among more than a dozen competitors; heavy weight is the main tradeoff. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Top performer — won PTR's timed OSB rip test among more than a dozen cordless competitors; Natural, ergonomic handle with push-down trigger safety; Solid value with a full premium feature set (dust port, electric brake, magnesium shoe).
Flagged: One of the heaviest cordless options (12.6 lbs with the 12.0Ah battery); Upper blade guard obstructs the sightline on crosscuts and hangs slightly on bevels; Best full-depth cutting power only comes with the pricier XC6.0 Forge battery.
