Great product - my new review

I work construction and my skill saw went out. I bought this one just to get me by until I could buy another Milwaukee. I am very impressed with the performance and will probably not replace the Milwaukee. Great value and performance.

Pros
  • Good light duty skill saw
Cons
  • The on/off switch is not easily accessible while in use, leading to potential frustration

Gift for my son in my review

It was a gift to my son and he really liked it. He mentioned it was light weight and had great maneuverability That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Simple
Cons
  • The blade guard is difficult to remove and reattach for blade changes, adding time and frustration to the process

Good for Home Use good for me

this is a capable saw, perfect for home use. It is lightweight and easy to handle. It has a lot of plastic which is pro ably why it is so light. that being said it has performed satisfactorily. This is not something a prop would use but for small jobs, shop class assignments, and the like it is fine.

Pros
  • High performance motor runs at 5, 300 RPM's fast cuts
Cons
  • The vibration from the powerful motor can be uncomfortable for some users, causing hand fatigue

Nice starter circular saw

This little circular saw is perfect for me. The size is right. It’s not super light, as it does have some heft to it, but it’s light enough for me to handle.This will be my first circular saw so this Craftsman is a great place to start. It’s inexpensive, small, and comes with one blade.I can ‘practice’ with this one, starting out with small jobs, and then graduate up to something bigger if I want to. Or, just keep with my simple jobs and go on with this small one.A nice little circular saw at a

Pros
  • I like it a lot and it’s light
Cons
  • The blade has a tendency to overheat during extended use, requiring frequent breaks

Not Craftsman quality.

Cheap cord, cheap construction but nice looking. Not typical Craftsman quality but it was stupid of me to think I could get more quality for the price. My bad.

Pros
  • Great circular saw for a good price !
Cons
  • The power cord is not detachable, increasing the risk of tangling and damage during storage
