Few DIYers enjoy sanding, but it’s critical to getting a flawless finish. This 3.5-pound DeWalt makes the boring task a little easier by cutting the cord: A brushless motor runs for about an hour per charge.

Makita LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Circular Saw
While lighter circular saws aren’t new, this Makita’s performance punches well above its 6½-pound build. The brushless motor maximizes the number of cuts, so even the smallest battery provides dozens of slices through two-by-fours or plywood before needing a recharge (which takes only 25 minutes). Sensors inside automatically control the 6½-inch blade’s speed for faster cutting.
