Skil Circular Saws

5150 - Purchased in 1998
Rating:


Strengths: Unbreakable! My Dad actually handed down this circular saw to me when I was 18. I am 36 now and this saw has never had a problem. I have used it for every wood working project I've ever done and I can't kill this saw!

Weaknesses: None

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: That it is the most dependable (if not magically permanent) circular saw ever!

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Nothing...I'd buy them lunch to say thanks for a great product.

Strengths: No problems, and the laser guide works better than you might expect, especially after you get a feel for which side of your line it's guiding the blade to.

Weaknesses: I get the feeling it's relatively easy to break. I stripped the threads on the blade depth lock one time because I forgot which direction was unlock, but it was replaced for free.
