Works great
This is so much more robust than the single port designs. The longer bar combined with the dual ports make it rock sold. It is almost impossible to veer off your rip cut. Bar runs ahead of and behind the blade, so your cuts are straight at the beginning and end. Measurement guide is accurate to the blade. Previous ones I have had are accurate to the edge of the guard, so you were always off using just the guide.

Almost like a table saw
Cuts almost as straight as a table saw! I've used it quite a bit ripping 2x4's and cutting plywood. You have to make sure you keep the side pressure you apply to the front of the guide is in front of where your blade is cutting our it will bind. The arms are aluminum and I can see how people accidentally bend them, but with a little caution I haven't had a problem. The measurements on the arms are precise and easy to use and adjust. It's a little spendy for what it is, but it does come in handy. Overall I think this is a great accessory to have for the DeWalt circular saw.

Works great
This is the best rip guide i have used on any circular saw. Mostly they are made out of one dinky piece of steal and require quite a bit of finesse to use properly. Not this guide. Depth is accurately indicated of the guide, adjusts easily, and tightens very securely with the included tool free bolts.This guide is solid without adding excessive weight. I cannot recommend it enough.

ALMOST fantastic.
LOVE the build quality, the dual port stability, and the ample purely on the guide. DO NOT live the fact that the laser etched scale on the arms are a full 1/8" off and no way to adjust. Not sure if the issue is in the assembly process, or it was just poorly engineered, but it's FRUSTRATING having nicely etched measurements that are unfortunately useless 😑

Great rip guide
This rip guide is more accurate than the standard flimsy T-style ones I have used before. It is more stable and accurate because it has two attachments to the saw rather than just one.

Works well.
Really accurate and easy to use. Seem's like it would be easy to damage so be careful with it, but other than that it really eliminates the table saw for days where you just need a handful of cuts on the jobsite!

this is a really great accessory. I've used it to rip plywood
this is a really great accessory. I've used it to rip plywood, 2x's and hardi plank, hardi soffit. Rip plywood for headers. Capacity is 12". it works great. really glad I spent the extra $ for this thing. i can avoid breaking out the table saw a little more often.Update 5/31/18Still super happy with this purchase. Use it often and would definitely buy again.

One GREAT Rip Guide!!
I am impressed! The guide fits the saw very well, is very accurate and easy and fast to set up. Great for ripping lumber to match existing widths. My first use was on a 4 X 6 beam which needed to be ripped to 5 1/4" from 5 1/2". A two pass operation and the cuts lined up perfectly at the center of the beam. I can't wait to use it again!
