Bosch announced a new 18V cordless rear handle circular saw, model GKW18V-26, which they say delivers worm drive-like performance.

The new Bosch rear handle circular saw features a brushless motor and was designed for “reduced weight and improved balance.”

Unless I am mistaken, this is Bosch’s first cordless rear handle circular saw, and I believe their first rear handle-style saw since selling their Skilsaw business to Chervon.
