I’ve used the heavy Skillsaw for 35 years, I own 8 of them. I have now switched to this lighter one. It is the workhorse of the framing industry.

Skilsaw… the worm drive saw all others are compared to. The magnesium is saw is even lighter than the 61/2” worm drive Skilsaw I used for over 35 years. Powerful, accurate…even comes with a sky hook built in these days.

light weight, easy to read adjustment scales. the difference between my old 7-1/4 Skilsaw and this new one is very noticable. I have a Skilsaw 6-1/2″ that is my go to saw for most home projects but is no longer in production.

I got this as a birthday/X-mas gift from my parents and i have to say its an excellent saw. Very power. Only reason it didnt get a 5 star is its weight. To me its a bit heavy for the average dyi’er but i unserstand why the weight. 2 hand grip makes for steady cuts and hood control of the saw.

First worm saw purchased and couldn’t be happier. Should have purchased this 20 yrs ago to replace my other circular saws. Plenty of power, lightweight and easily makes accurate cuts.

My old Skilsaw finally died; I purchased it brand new in 1992. This is my first Worm Drive saw, and I’m really impressed with it’s power and handling! I look forward to using it on the oak bookcase I plan to start building next weekend; I have no doubts that it can easily handle the job.

Cuts better than any handheld saw I’ve ever used. Well worth the money and won’t ever buy another one. Very powerful with no worries of kickback.

I’ve had my saw about 7 weeks.. truly all some, cuts straight and true. I wish I had bought one along time ago.

Excellent tool. I’m only a DIYer, but this tool is indeed for professional use. I’m glad I paid a bit extra for it (compared to competitors). It has excellent reviews and I can attest they are indeed true. I only wish it had included a bag (had to buy aftermarket).

I bought this a month ago based on the reviews. So far I’m very happy with it, but after watching a YouTube video where this guy does a complete teardown of the saw, he pointed out some serious deficiencies inside the housing that he thinks will affect the long term reliability of the saw, which I agree with. Hence the 3 stars.

So much power. Cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter

Been in carpentry for 45 years and have always used Skil worm drive 7 1/4″ saws. Getting older and just purchased the Magnesium 7 1/4″ worm drive saw due to its lighter weight. The weight difference was significant enough for me, plus power of the worm drive saws is always impressive. My older saw still works great and i have put a diamond blade in it and use it for ant concrete or cement block cutting. For around a $200 cost it is well worth the price!!

Best circular saw I’ve ever owned! I’ve been working on a Chicken Coop and Chicken Run and this saw has made the job a breeze and a pleasure. You cant go wrong. It is sturdy and powerful. Thanks Skilsaw!
