Skil SHD77 15 Amp, As good as it gets

Overall Rating55555

As good as it gets

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.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Great saw
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.
