What owners single out
In their words
“What a STOUT tool! Great power, HUGE shoe (aka bottom plate) that gives you ample flat surface area to stay on your piece, heavy so it stays planted but doesn't "feel" heavy when you're cutting, just all around an awesome tool. The blade tool has a place on the saw itself so it's right there when you need it. Tool-less height and angle adjustment (and goes past 45 degrees!) and get this; no safety”

“So excited to work with my first circular saw. I do a LOT of DIY but have only worked with a jig saw so far. I've been nervous to work with a circular saw but I'm scheduled to volunteer in the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home in the spring and want to be familiar with, and have access to my own standard equipment. I've also been itching to try a lot of projects I see online, but so far ”
