I am not a professional builder. I don't need the best saw money can buy. This is an great little saw for the money. I wear out a circular saw about every six or seven years. I cut boards for various home building projects. I like the this saw because its light weight and seems to be very capable of doing all that I need it to do. I am not a fan of the plastic retracting blade guard. In the pictures on eBay the guard looks like metal; I did not give it much thought until I got the saw and seen that it was plastic. The cord is pretty short. I replaced a Performax intermediate priced saw from Menards that cost more than this skil brand saw. The old saw was heavy and had plastic adjusters. For all the Performax's faults it lasted 7 years. I like this skil brand saw better than my old Performax overall.Read full review

I bought it as a replacement for my original Skil saw that I bought 40+ years ago to build a house with. I only had to replace the cord once because it was getting old and cracking. I am 74 now, and I still need one for different things and I would not buy anything else but a Skil. I am quite it will last longer than me, and I have been using it to cut brick with and it had more power than my old one. It was getting tired and old, just like me.

Even though the saw is used, it looks brand new. The 4 star rating is because the saw didn't come with a saw blade; even a used saw blade would have made the saw look even newer.

Was surprised when FedEx delivered it on Saturday 11/11. But they did not buff out the scratches on the bottom! :) Just joking there if it was not for that you would not know it was not new! Seems to have plenty of power! I was thinking of getting one from HFT price is about the same but when they start comparing their saws to Black & Decker that was a turn off! Sorry B&D I do not need a one shot item!
