I’ve almost had mine for a month now and love most things about it. Saw is excellent quality as you’d expect from Skil. The battery on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. That’s the ONLY reason I don’t give it 5stars. They claim to last all day, mine is dead before lunch. I hope they address this. And at $229+ per battery, I’d have to have 3 to make a full day without waiting on charging. I hope Skil reads this and messages me and we can come up with something. I’m a long-standing Skil Customer and currently have 8 Mag77’s, 2 Bigfoots, and 6 Hd77’s in my Arsenal.

Beast of a saw. the power is great. but all the competition uses polymer bodies for weight savings. this is the heaviest saw before you install the massive battery. also, you are used to a Mag77 and you pick this thing up, you won’t like the balance. starting a cut, there’s too much weight on the rear of the saw that you sacrifice some precision for carrying the saw. all other cordless “skilsaws” (worm drive style) are balanced like a Mag77. i hear the batteries last longer than anything else but haven’t tested mine yet. They currently don’t ship to California so i had to get mine through a 3rd party.

Amazing saw don’t get me wrong. I just had bought the Milwaukee rear hand saw when this came out. After trying both saw’s skilsaw is a bit heavier, but more powerful. The only con is that the battery won’t last a full day. I’ve ripped rafters and cut plywood and at most it’ll give you half a day. The battery charge time is as advertised meaning it does charge in a hour. Hoping skilsaw can help with the purchase of a spare battery since they falsely claim and advertise it last a full day.But overall it is a good saw and made me sell my Milwaukee Rear hand saw.

The SKILSAW TRUEHVL 48-Volt Cordless 7-1/4 in. Worm Drive Saw Kit with 2 TRUEHVL Batteries and Diablo Blade arrived yesterday. After reading the operating instructions I used the charger to complete charging both enclosed batteries. Today I attached my shop vac to the Skilsaw and used it cut cedar lumber to build a flower planter box. The saw performed really well and had more than enough power to finish the job. It sure was nice using this cordless saw and not having to bother with extension cords. The Skilsaw definitely met my expectations.

i bought this for myself after christmas. i saw the reviews on youtube. i knew from that point i needed this. well when i received this i was not disappointed. the saw is incredible and powerful. this is by far hands down the best saw i’ve ever used. my favorite tool purchase for the year. i’ve used it a lot and keeps going strong.

So I got this saw in hopes of it being more powerful than the Makita and anything else I’ve sampled in the field and boy it delivers…it’s a great well balanced saw like claimed in other reviews but the bad thing is the dust and how they changed it with the handle. It is a horrible design for trying to cut 45 angles fascia for example. So I took my old set up meaning the blade guard and Handle set up like the previous corded model and switched it all over. Skilsaw kept everything on the body the same so it’s interchangeable if you look into it. I also put the smaller rafter hook on it like the corded model has. Now that I’ve switched everything over I couldn’t be happier with the performance. Next comes the battery….it’s a decent battery for the performance it’s giving. But if you have 2 batteries you should be good to go all day if you are working alone and not a cut man or ripping boards. It’s kinda common sense in a sort. Maybe use the old corded one for those massive rip jobs? I hope that helps people. Stay true 😉 (after my mods I give it 5 stars) only 3 out of the box due to the saw dust issue. Framers don’t use vacuums and neither do form setters. I didn’t know skil was getting into the finish world with the skilsaw. There’s festool and stuff like that with tracks vacuums attachments up the butt. Don’t even mess with a silly majority market. The pros get what’s appropriate for the job regardless

Balanced weight & perfect cuts

Years ago, when I was a newly-minted journeyman carpenter, all the old pros used corded worm-drive circular saws of various manufacture. The gold standard, though, was the SkilSaw – so much so that they were all called SkilSaws, no matter the brand. I’ve had the good fortune to own a number of other fine products from Skil, so when my 40-year old B&D sidewinder died I thought I’d give this new 48-Volt Cordless 7-1/4 Inch Worm Drive SkilSaw a try. After an afternoon of cutting, I have to say I’m glad I did. The cuts with the included blade from Diablo are smooth and true, with no blade wobble. The saw tracks beautifully and despite the weight, which is heavier than a corded saw, is easy to maneuver. The worm gear drive gives the saw fantastic torque for cutting hardwoods without binding up. The vac attachment is a nice feature for dust control in the shop and in operation works fine. The included batteries charge quickly (45-60 minutes) and with two included should keep most folks cutting all day without recharging. I have to say I love this saw and anticipate years of great service. Highly recommended!

For those interested in the country of manufacture, this unit is made in China and the Diablo blade in Italy.The unit comes with a charging base and two rather large batteries. Each battery is 4.25 lbs, and charged on first time use in less than 45 minutes.Inserting the Diablo blade can be tricky as the lock button is on the opposite side of the blade. Took a few tries but worked easily using the supplied wrench.The saw with one battery weighs 15 lbs, but seems well balanced so there was no strain after cutting 2x4s and 2x8s for an hour on one battery.The vacuum connection was tried successfully using a standard shop vac unit.If you are toting this combined unit to sites, the combined weight of saw, two batteries and the charger is about 22 lbs.Warranty is for 1 year.

This is like the Cadillac of circular saws. In every way. I’ll get it out of the way this thing is bulky and I really hope they can get the battery size down a bit. The weight doesn’t bother me too much it doesn’t feel that different from the corded 77 saws but the physical size of the battery can be odd on some cuts. Other than the heft this is hands down the best cordless saw I’ve used. I have the 7 1/4 milwaukee fuel which is what I’ve used the last few years for a cordless option. How this saw runs and the power absolutely wipes the floor with the milwaukee. I was cutting 2×10 floor joists and 2×8 yellow pine rafters today in the rain and this saw did not bog down even once. I was totally impressed. The soft start is a nice touch and this saw just runs buttery smooth with loads of power and a super fast brake as well. I seriously questioned buying into anther battery platform but I’m glad I did.

I use this saw to cut metal ( 1/4 inch flat bar, angle iron, schedule 40 1″ and 1 1/2” pipe) using the Diablo metal cutting blade. Very powerful saw. Easy to use. Battery installs and releases easily. Cut about 30 pieces of pipe and still showed full charge on battery. Comes with extra battery which is a great value. Impressed overall with saw.
