Even has a slot in the lid to store the available rip fence. Not a big deal since I don't even refer to the manual and could just chuck it, but I do prefer to keep them with the tools. A call to the Milwaukee tech line (their general support line had no indication of this part) got me 2 mailed out immediately. Has a blade storage section in the bottom of the case below the saw. Great design on the case.
Second, unlike the sawzall and drill cases, there is no slot for the manual. Holds my 18V cordless saw, 2 batteries, and a charger. It is deeper than you'd expect, as another reviewer noted.1 star off for 2 things. Right now it's folded in half and shoved in the spare battery section.Definitely does it's intended job. First, the blade storage has a post molded into the bottom of the case - but the nut that screws the blades down was missing when I got it.
It has a blade nut to keep extra blades in the case under the saw. Don't know--but the Chineese designer probably thought it was a good idea. Why did milwaukee change the design. This case for Milwaukee's cordless circular saws is almost perfect; deeper than you think by the picture (approx 11") molded very well to the V18 battery, the charger, and the saw. I had to deduct 1 star because Milwaukee changed the handle design from a 1-1/4 diameter 4-pinion contact (4 contact points to the case) to a 2-pinion 3/4" diameter handle. NOT.RS Lynchburg, VA Physics tells us that a 4-pinion handle design will take more stess on the handle than the 2-pinion design given the same pinion diameter which is the case.
This case is an excellent fit and protects the saw, battery, charger, and more.I do notice that, with the V28 at least, you need to lower the cutting height before the case will close ~ not a big deal, just something to be aware of, and something that reveals the close fit needed to keep the saw from bouncing around too much on the back of a truck.
The quality of this case has NOTHING to do with whether it comes in a combo pack or not. Shame the review (stars) don't reflect this. Milwaukee was smart enough to design latches that someone with larger hands can open easily. I have a few other brands of tools with hard cases that you need the hands of a 10 year old to be able to open. This is another quality product from Milwaukee. The case is sturdy and fits the saw, 1 battery and a charger. If you dropped the cash on the saw, this is definitely worth it to protect your investment. The clasps are nice and easy to open.
