Customer Reviews

awsome product5
I didn't realize how bad my old 20 year old saw was. First time I used this new one I cut thru my sawhorse without even realizing it! Highly recommend the laser, makes even my cuts look like a pro did it!

Skil Saw5
Great saw. Bought it refurbished didn't need a new one. This replaced a 30 year old saw that finally died. I love that laser. It works like a new one. What a deal.

Good basic unit for the price.5
This is a good basic saw at a great price. The laser feature is very helpful.
