This circular saw by Skil is great. It has a ton of power and it has a lazer-guided beam to track where you're cutting wood. I really like how it comes with a bag too and a saw blade. It's definitely one of my favorite tools because of how high-quality it feels and how well it cuts through wood. For a person like myself with a few DIY projects this was a great pickup. I'm really glad I bought this CrispyChris · skiltools.com
