This review is from: Skil SHD77 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have a recently built US version of this saw, . . . production has now been moved to China, so this review may or may not apply. The Chinese version looks the same from the outside.

This saw has great balance. It uses worm drive gearing with an oil box for cooling and lubrication. Accordingly the saw has very high torque and is much quieter than traditional circular saws. The handles are well positioned for easy grip and handling.

The saw is pretty heavy . . . this provides for very smooth cutting and low vibration. Highly recommended for people that want to buy lifetime tools.

This review is from: Skil SHD77 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

This saw is much quieter than other saws I've used. Purchased it to cut some granite, then use on all the other house projects to come. With a $40 diamond wet/dry blade, this saw cut granite easily and precisely without any binding up. Overall I'm very happy with this saw, and the stone pieces it cut. It's on the heavy side, but not bad.

This review is from: Skil SHD77 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

The Skil SHD77 worm drive saw is a powerful brute, and it is heavy enough to prove it, that cuts through even wet, pressure-treated wood with ease. With the right blade this saw cuts clean and true, it did not bog down or burn the wood at any point. Over the past 35 years I have had to buy 7 electric circular saws and all of them are dead (motors burned out, brushes worn and not replaceable, or trigger switches burned out.) I expect this Skil worm drive saw to be around and working as long as I will be. Amazon made the discounted purchase possible and I couldn't be more pleased.
