    Why Use a Larger Saw?
     
    Review Date: June 3, 2010
    Reviewer: Theodore Kobernick, Vancouver, WA United States
    We bought ours (new) a couple of years ago. It's great, and has held up perfectly. Our worker, who prefers to use his own tools, now uses no other circular saw. It's light, tough, has a long cord, cuts well, and is easy to guide. Practically speaking, on ordinary jobs there is no advantage to using a 7 1/4" saw.
    Fantastic saw

    I bought this saw about a year ago from the big orange box (for half the price) and have used it every couple weeks remodeling my home and building things for the garage. Despite it's smaller size, it has all the power of a larger 7 1/4" saws. The lightness of it really makes it slick to use. The depth adjustment lever has become loose so that's why I gave it 4 stars. I just have to adjust it so that it snugs tighter. Perhaps some blue locktite will do the trick. Still on the original blade but have only used it on framing lumber and plywood. You won't be disappointed if you get this saw.

    Reviewer: Henry B. Ely,
    My previous 6 1/2 saw was a late sixties Skill. This saw is an almost duplicate. The increase in amps is very noticable. I look forward to enjoying this saw for 30 years.
    Great Product, Check big Orange Box

    Very surprised that I like this saw as much as I do., as I prefer left blade but some cuts are better with a right blade saw. Most right saws have poor sight line of the cut. This saw has usable front and rear indicators as well as the blade itself from the left side, which is where I prefer to look at. Cuts straight freehand in part due to sight line is kept clear, low friction base , feels good in balance and handling and hi speed cut. Got a good review in tools of the trade. All the plastic makes me concerned, but it does have a lifetime service agreement[at least on the ones bought at HD]. HD stores do not not carry them any longer as the constantly discontinue items for who knows what reasons other than sales figures. I did have to tighten the rear shoe rivet . Generic bag is OK but prefer molded case for protection.
