Saw has good power
Rating: 5
I have had my DEWALT 60V circular saw for about 4 months now. Now that I use this one I see the lack of power in other brands like Milwaukee. This thing cuts very good. It does not bog down like other cordless saws. Fresh battery and blade and I'm good to go for a long while. I like this saw. I recommend investing in this saw to anyone looking to buy.

Power in my hand
Rating: 5
I find myself using this tool more than my corded DeWalt saw. Lots of power, it will last all day on one battery on framing and other tasks. Good weight not too heavy but enough to keep straight while ripping. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable and easy to use.
Rating: 5
Had an old Craftsman saw and it was stolen from my garage. I purchased this DeWalt saw to finish the project I had stared and it was so much easier to operate than the old Craftsman. I'm pretty rough on tools and this saw has been dropped (accidentally) and never missed a beat. I like the saws so much I purchased the Mitter saw Mitter table to go with it. I don't believe I'll be using any other brand but DeWalt from now on. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

An amazing tool
Rating: 5
I can't say enough about this tool. I have the older 6.5”, 18 volt saw. I used it for quite a bit over the years. If you planed to building any thing you had to keep 2 - 3 batteries around to do a day's work. I also felt it had no power. You could forget ripping pressure treated wood, it stained the whole length and quickly killed the battery. I recently purchased the 60 volt circular saw. It cuts through pressure treated wood with ease. I built a 16x12 stick by stick. The whole job used only 2 batteries. Simply amazing tool!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great time saver
Rating: 5
I like the fact that I can go from my drill to saw with just a switch of a battery. I love the fact that it is cordless and fits well with all my other dewalt tools [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bought this over the summer and have really gotten to put it through its paces the last month or so. It's outperformed every expectation I've had. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Lots of power
Rating: 4
I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE POWER OF THE SAW. IT WEIGHS LESS THEN THE GREEN COMPETITOR MY PARTNER USES. HOWEVER THE ERGONOMICS IS BETTER ON THE GREEN ONE. MY TRIGGER FINGER BINDS ON THE GUARD WHEN USING. BATTERY LIFE IS GOOD NOT GREAT EVEN WITH A FULLY CHARGED FLEXVOLT BATTERY. PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS EXCEPT I SOMETIMES USE COMPETITOR'S CORDLESS SAW THAT IS SLIGHTLY NICER BUT WEIGHS MORE WITH ITS 2 BATTERIES. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great SKIL saw at a super price!
Rating: 5
This is a great name-brand circular saw for an excellent price. The price includes the blade for this SKIL saw. Some of the other brands do not include the blade - yes, really. It is easy to handle and work with - working on my back deck. I would recommend it.

Great cut, affordable price
Rating: 5
Great saw and great price! Out of the box worked like a gem, attach the blade and go. Laser was a good feature. Would recommend Skil everytime for circular saws

Design features
Rating: 5
The new design takes left handed crafts persons into consideration. The laser feature is great and the notches in the front of the shoe keeps the saw on the line for us that had problems with that in the past. The shaft lock make it very easy to remove and replace the blade.

Great Product!!
Rating: 5
I bought this saw mainly because I was in a pinch and my old battery-powered saw burned out on me. But this thing is impressive! I've worked with the older 15amp and this new smaller model is way more powerful! For a DIYer like me or a handyman type guy its a perfect saw. Plus a 5 year warranty. Highly recommend.

Great Saw!
Rating: 5
Excellent buy on this saw. Only thing I had to do out of the box was attach the saw blade. It cut beautifully right out of the box. No real set-up required. I recommend this to anyone needing a good circular saw.

Great so far
Rating: 5
Completed my project without any fuss. Can't say for longevity as of yet, but so far I am thoroughly impressed with the Skil brand Circ saw. Great features you aren't likely to find on a saw in this price range.Perfect for a weekend Diy'er.

Great saw at a great price. I am using this saw mainly with my Kreg Rip-Cut and Accu-Cut jigs and it makes breaking down plywood panels fast and easy.

Excellent saw at a good price
Rating: 4
So far I am very satisfied with the saw. It is powerful enough to handle any job but light enough to be easily maneuvered. I haven't used the laser much but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. I like the trigger safety switch. If the saw included a blade break, I would have given 5 stars. Included blade cuts well.

Skil saw w/laser
Rating: 4
Nice saw, balance good, no dust collection adaption on saw and laser is 1/16 inch off line out of box. Bought to replace 25 year old Skil (still works), mainly bought for laser.

Replacement saw
Rating: 4
Great saw. Been using SKIL for a while now and needed to replace an older circ saw from another brand and this one fit the bill. My only concern was that it didn.t come with a lefty option but hey not many do!
