Last refreshed Aug 4, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
Worth buying for the battery compatibility and compact size, not for raw cutting depth. Treat it as a second, lighter saw rather than a main framing tool.

Overview
The DEWALT DCS571P1 pairs a 20 volt cordless platform with a high speed steel blade and a 2 inch cutting capacity, aimed at trim work, blocking and lighter cuts rather than deep ripping. At 11.2 pounds it stays light enough to run one-handed on ladders or overhead.
Because it draws from DeWalt's 20V MAX battery family, anyone already carrying DCB packs for other DeWalt tools can pick this saw up without adding a separate charging system to the shop. That shared platform, more than any single spec here, is the practical selling point.
- 20V MAX cordless power
- 2 inch cutting capacity
- High speed steel blade
- 11.2 lb tool weight
Who it's for
Suited to DIYers and tradespeople who already run DeWalt 20V tools and want a compact saw for trim, decking or repair cuts. Less suited to anyone needing a primary saw for framing lumber or sheet goods all day.
Pros and cons
- Runs on DeWalt's shared 20V MAX battery system
- Compact and light enough for one-handed cuts
- 2 inch capacity suits trim and repair cuts
- Not built for deep rips or sheet goods
- HSS blade may dull faster than carbide
Performance notes
The 20 volt motor and 2 inch cutting capacity point this saw toward trim, blocking and repair cuts rather than continuous ripping through thick stock. Its high speed steel blade will need sharpening or replacement sooner than a carbide tipped equivalent under heavy use. At 11.2 pounds it remains maneuverable for overhead or one-handed cutting, which matters more for this saw's intended jobs than outright power.
