SKILSAW SPT77WML-01 15-Amp 7-1/4-Inch Lightweight Worm Drive Circular Saw, Silver

Using this for framing but found it to be very heavy especially because it only works with the 2 batteries installed

Having used a sidewinder for home projects the last 10 years going to this machine reminded me of that famous scene in Crocodile Dundee movie many years back (That's not a knife, this is a knife" Well is this case the comparison to my sidewinder becomes " That's not a saw, this is a saw!" From the moment I first struck a 6 inch post I could not believe just how easily it went through it, I was just absolutely fascinated. I then tested it to see just how swiftly I could rip a 12 foot long 2x10 down the middle in order to build a sawhorse. Following the line was an absolute cinch, and this machine cut as fast as I could run and I'm not kidding, a 12 foot rip in what seemed instantaneous! It's definitely heavier than my sidewinder but using it just feels much more effective to me. If your on the fence about such a purchase and can handle the 2-3 extra LBS over a sidewinder, DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS MACHINE.

Very good saw not to heavy for the but not to light the batteries last almost all day on a single charge and I use it all day..

I have been doing some DIY home improvement projects. I watched a lot of videos by professional contractors and DIYers and learned about a lot of techniques and tools. In terms of carpenter work, a good circular saw is essential for efficiency. I use hand saws for small projects, but circular saw saves a lot of energy and time. This Skilsaw is one of the lightest (about 11 lb) among the rear handle circular saws. It has the power to cut through 2x woods easily. It can make angle cuts. The depth adjustment is simple. Some professionals mentioned that the rotor brush should be changed after certain hours of use. But I am not professional carpenter and only use it for a few minutes every project, so I probably won't need to worry about wearing out the brush in maybe 10 years? The first time I pull the trigger, I was shocked to see sparks in the brush chamber. Later I realized that it is how the brush is supposed to work, contacting the rotor and make it rotate. It's a little noisy which is expected from a circular saw, especially a worm drive one. A quality extension cord is essential to supply enough power to the saw. I use one with maximum 15 Amp. In general, it's a strong circular saw. Just be careful when using it.
