by Skil

Product Description

Amazon.com

Cordless convenience comes from the people who brought you the Skilsaw. The circular saw that everyone copied is powered now by an 18-volt battery that won't let you down. Skil's patented Accu-Sight makes for easy, straight cuts with unfettered visibility. They've wisely added a hoop handle for more comfort and control, too. The battery mounts on the side, keeping the tool in perfect balance, so all you have to do is guide it. The rear-view depth adjustment is a feature we like, too. It comes with a 7-1/4-inch carbide-tipped blade and a nice carry bag. If you're a homeowner, you have to have one of these.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5.0 out of 5 stars 'LOVE IT!!, February 26, 2005

B.B.Rich "bbrich57" (Manor, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Skil 5800-02 18-Volt 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

As anyone who has read my other Amazon reviews can tell you this is not my first Skil 18V tool. I have only had mine for several weeks now and I LOVE IT!! While the 5-3/8" Skil that I also own has it's place I will probably be using this one more often.

Powerful, quiet (for a saw), as advertised it is well balanced, accurate (for a hand-held saw) and the magnified flip up scale is an ingenious idea. It has more solid/stable adjustment controls and a real nice blade guard compared to the 5-3/8"er too. And of course the portability of battery power, but expect to have several charged batteries on hand as this thing goes through them FAST! I've already used up three in the course of fifteen minutes.

As a leftie, my only complaint is that this saw has a traditional right sited/handed blade.


As before, I hope you find this review helpful, and Good Luck with your own dreams!
