This SKIL 12v Cordless Circular Saw Will Surprise You - Unboxing, Test, and Review

[@mytoolbox871]

For $59 as a kit it’s pretty solid. I bought this saw 5 years ago. Still good. If you go slow you can rip 3 stacked sheets of plywood no problem. Rip any 2by no problem. Just let the tool work.

I work at a police dept and remodeled dispatch. They had a ton of built in cabinets and shelves. I used my personal 12v skil saw since I was working in cramped areas. It did awesome. I did remove the skil blade after a couple days and put in a Diablo one as it didn't like the formica and diablo was smoother. This little saw did a great job.

Easy way to remember which way the blade goes The branding always goes facing you so you can read it. Whether you have a left sided or right sided blade you want to be able to read the brand and the information on the blade whether it's a DeWalt blade Diablo or even the blade that comes in the box with your tool you should be able to read it once it's installed.

Just bought this saw, found this review very helpful

[@ncironhorse8367]

Great video... Super thorough!!!.... I have a question. Can you use the Pwr Core 20V on this 5.5 Circular Saw and use the same charger as the 12V?

[@mytoolbox871]

No you can’t.

Trying to decide if I’m going to get this one or the 15 with the laser. I’m new to woodworking. Wanna make coasters, small coffee tables. What you think would be best?

[@mikesantiago1236]

I went with the 15amp laser corded. I wish I would have went cordless now lol. That thing is great but so so heavy

[@trevorhansen5817]

I'm gonna buy one

[@johngamboa999]

Hi! Newbie here! I saw your review and just purchased one! The 20v battery that came with it quickly died! Turned out to be defective. Can you use 40v instead of 20v? I saw one KZbin channel do it. Thanks 🙏

[@mytoolbox871]

No. You can’t.

[@bernitup6492]

Just picked one up from Amazon and it came with a drill for $109.

[@Tanktaco]

Nice

[@maddawgzzzz]

I have this saw, and it sucks. Though, I payed 50 bucks for the thing. I shouldn't compare it to my 300 doallar dewalt saws. I guess for 50 bucks it works good enough, what can you expect for the something under 100. nice review

[@jesusdominguez6934]

Just got one for 59.99!

[@Anier5882]

Ugh you fast forward the most important part for me, I just bought this tool and I’m having a difficult time putting the blade in

[@ryand5482]

Same!
