Reviews:
This is a workhorse of a saw, and it definitely lives up to the
Skil name (the company that invented these saws in the first place).
This latest version of the famous Skil 77 takes all the power and
torque the original is known for and packs it into a lightweight
magnesium housing, bringing it down near the weight range of sidewinder
saws. Grasping it by both handles, the saw balances well, and the
notches in the shoe give a good guide for 90- and 45-degree cuts.
It has a 2-3/8-inch depth of cut at 90 degrees, and 1-15/16 inches
at 45 degrees. We liked the quick blade height adjustment mechanism
and the angled wrench, which helps prevent skinned knuckles during
blade changes. We couldn't feel any difference in performance between
this Skil's 13 amp motor and others drawing 15 amps. Be prepared
for a slight twist when you first flip the switch, but after that,
it's a smooth machine made right here in the U.S.
