SKIL PWR CORE 20™ Brushless 20V 4-1/2 In. Compact Circular Saw Tool Only

This is great for quick work or slow work. Need 5 quick cuts or slow cutting on large project this is just right. Used to repair shed floor and siding. I was working at a medium speed and this little saw did not hesitate.

I purchased this saw for those small projects that you don't need the big heavy saw (7.5" 18volt). I took it out of the box & fully charged the battery. It has worked great for me! I made 26 cuts on 2x6s. It sliced through them like butter! The last few cuts were in an odd position & I kept binding the saw. The battery would then show only 1 bar. After a couple of minutes it it would be back to 2. I could probably made several more cuts, but the project was done. This saw is very light, Except for the base plate it is all plastic. This shouldn't be a problem unless you are rough on you tools. Good speed, plenty of power, great value! buy this saw!!

I have this combined with the drill and osc saw work well for small home projects with my crew

Fantastic saw. Works as designed, great ergonomics. The warranty is best in the class. I have two slight issues; I wish it came with 2 batteries even though the charger is extremely fast. Lastly, this criticism isn't directed at Skil but rather at the entire class of saw manufacturers, they need to make the saw blades 1/2” bigger. I bought the saw primarily to trim 4” X 4” fence post tops. The skil saw does a fantastic job, but if the saw blade was 1/2” bigger I could trim the tops in two passes rather than three around the post. Small complaint that every saw manufacturers should consider.

compact, powerful. perfect for light andmeddium cutting.

Good tool for the price. I was actually impressed.

This saw offers everything I need for small jobs. I was suby the power and ease at which this thing went through a 2 inch think wooden planks. It's versatile and lightweight with the battery installed. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a laser light guide.

Great little saw. Very easy to handle and has enough power to do the job. I like that its cordless and was very easy to set up. My only downside was that it didn't cut thru a 2x4 very cleanly. Just an 1/8inch more depth would have been perfect. Still, happy with purchase.

I enjoyed the saw for a few weeks until recently it just gave out after 15 minutes of use. Seems the motor gets very hot

Got this as a gift. Its lightweight, easy to use, easy to adjust, and works well for the right wood. However, it has trouble with standard 2x material. Unless the 2x wood is perfectly straight and soft, chances are the saw wont cut it. Saw worked well with most 1 inch wood. But struggled with 6/5 decking board. Havent tried it with plywood or sheet wood. In short, i would only recommend this saw if you are cutting 1 inch wood. Dont plan to use it with 2x.
