Skil Has a BIG Game Changer With This Circular Saw! 

They must have made a deal with Makita because it almost exactly the same as the 36volt rear handled circ. Which means it's a great saw or at least a very good saw.

That skil rear handle is perfectly crafted like the skilsaw worm drive. Gets you all the fiber your diet needs when cutting at 45 degrees!

The saw looks solid! Looked like that dust extraction port did a good job. That plunge and rip cut was impressive. Nice job Skil! Great video as always! Have a great night! 👍🏻

Skil is really stepping it up, I have their compound miter saw and love it!

Nice! Looks like it moves with such ease! Thx for the video!

Great demonstration. Thanks Vince. Rearhandle saws are the best!

Finally! I'm happy with my brushless 6 1/2 but sometimes I need something bigger and more aggressive, and left line of sight of course! 😁 And since I'm not rich enough to go into different battery platform with each tool this saw is the answer to my prayers 👍👍💪💪💪 Great demonstration it really putted my curiosity at ease 😁

Hi Vince and to all VCG construction gang. I look forward to your awesome videos and power tool deals.

Looks pretty dawn awesome. Consistent power through your cuts!

Dude.! This is truly awesome. SKIL has come out with so many tools, as complete kits, everything you need is in the kit, that's it. And IT'S GOT AN EXHAUST PIPE.!!!🎉

I first seen pictures of it a few months ago it's good to see it's on the way out to stores I might have to get this

I have 12v platform of skill and the 40v platform. Theres a new RED in the SHED COOL GANGSTAS i am here to tell you. SKILL IS BEAST.. Ty for showing Skill some love my guy!!

Excellent video, my man. Great workspace and the production is excellent. Also, your enthusiasm makes the demo dynamic and compelling.

I was intending to go Metabo with my new line...but didn't really have the deals I expected/wanted ...and I wasn't fast enough when the clearance came around to get the super deal...so.. But I'm impressed with the Skil 20v and Skil lineup that I have. Impact,drill,basic circ saw ( I'll upgrade to this eventually) and the router kit ( plunge base included /corded) Really dig the router so far... I don't have a real issue with mixing and matching. I ha e friends with almost every platform so. When we are all working( just diy /amateur building stuff ) together somebody usually always has an extra battery surprisingly. Skil ( bcuz Chervon has upgraded it) is much better than the old days of basically basic b&d consumer needs tools that once before the name.

Great saw I wish I can get one asap. And now I have a tough choice between this and the new metabo rear handle circular saw cordless 36volts

Happy that I invested in to 20v line early as a pose to 12v

Always nice to see a new video from you

Good looking saw right there! That skil line is putting out great tools. Since Chervon makes Kobalt power tools, I wonder if Lowe’s will ever request they make a Kobalt XTR version with that sweet black and blue finish? I think I’m just dreaming at this point lol

Looks like a great saw. Skil worm drive used to be the only saw acceptable on the job site. I framed and stacked houses late 90'sb -2009. Remember when hey first came out with the red handle mag 77 , THAT was a game changer. The biggest game changer for me was when they came out with impact drivers. Alot harder to hang shutters and driving 3½ screws over your head with a drill. Unless skil improves the entire 20v tool lineup to at least metabo standards then I don't see many people investing in this line of batteries just to have this saw.

SKIL was the only saw that you would see on the job sites and This old House on PBS back in the 90's.

Im gonna hold my personal assesment until VCG can test out the Metabo 36v 7.250 saw. Imma leave this link for any curious folk to investigate.

Looks to be a really nice saw love that dust shoot

I just bought 1 have to wait 2 weeks for delivery, hopefully it holds up, right now I'm run dewalts brushless. if skil is on par I'll be making the switch

6:10 gotta hand it to Skilsaw & Skil for their circ saw dust chutes…. They are wood blowers when comes to throwing the saw dust away from tool. The one thing I’ve had trouble with from past saws, is the vac attachment always slips off the saw or the vac hose from time to time and kinda annoying. Hoping they’ve fixed that issue now, or maybe just me 🤔 lol. Impressive saw & that charger is H U G E, but does dual rapid, NICE👍🏻 The other thing I’ve noticed from Skil tools, is if battery gets below 50° (55 at times too), it won’t charge & light says “bad battery”; till warms up & it’s good to go. Have other tools, that don’t do this so, anyone else experienced this battery “cold thing” Cheers✌🏻

@VCG Construction... What's up vince. I appreciate the video, that thing looks beast.

Heya Vince, long time no talk! Yeah, I just saw this in the store the other day... dang yeah I was super surprised at the 2 batteries... hot damn! ^^

I wish I'd have bought this instead of the flexvolt, but I do love my flexvolt, so I guess I'm going to have to buy one of these anyway to go along with my flexvolt.

Cool. That looks like a good saw. 😍👍🏻

Pretty sweet saw. I don't even use circ saws and I want it lol

Hello 👋 VCG Cool tool !!!!!! If I where just starting out as a young guy the Skill brand is not a bad choose. I thank they have some nice stuff especially there corded beast like reciprocating saw.

Love your saw skils lol

Nice! I love the dust port. As much as I love Milwaukee, I hate all of their circular saws because they spit dust right in my face. Normally I just get my old Porter Cable out with the left hand blade, and the awesome adjustable dust port.

Lowe's definitely upping the game with the tools they sell to better compete with HD. We all love competition where we see the best of the contestants.

I check this saw out in store ,its to big and to heavy for me . I have had the Makita 36 v for years now, but i do have my eye on the new hpt saw . Great vid

Great content Vince

Off topic, do we know of a milwaukee planer coming out. I am aware of there cordless lithium that Came out 4-5 years ago but I'm looking for a full model. Love the videos thanks for educating

Vince your never wrong. But last night I was at Home Depot picked up the Milwaukee M12 oscillator for a back up to my M18 but this morning I go to try it out and it's used and missing the nut to hold the blades. Went back today to exchange the tool and they did not want to return it because they thought I was lying. After getting a manager and saying I'm going to call the owners of Home Depot in Atlanta and the police just getting sick and tired people stealing stuff out of the boxes or exchanging out tools. Either stores need to do better jobs or tool companies need to package the tools better so this comes to a end. It's getting worse and worse these people. Have a good night brother 💯🇺🇸

Great vid! And an awesome saw! This opened my eyes to skil toll rand. But does anyone know if this one will be for sale in Europa? I live in Norway😅

@vcgconstruction I basically called this after the cordless worm drive came out from skilsaw I said they need to make a cordless 7 1/4 circular saw I wasn't sure how they were going to do it if they were going to use the same batteries as the worm drive or go this route and use the other branch of the brand I know years ago they had a cordless 18-volt 7 1/4 one when Bosch owned them it sucked I used it it was terrible this looks like a beast I see you using the crescent Lufkin shock for Shock Force nite eye tape measure Vince love mine after all these years still use it looking forward to trying the Gen 2 of that

Dust clearance is very impressive

Looks good

Vince, what would you choose for home use and on the job th3 Skil or the Milwaukee worm type circ saw (2830-20)?

Vince in your humble opinion.. do you prefer this skil 20v helical drive or the 7 1/4 milwaukee fuel rear handle circ saw??

The 🇬🇧 equivalent is erbauer and I have a lot of the tools and find them great for DIY/light contractor work however the UK erbauer models have a 21700 battery called the elite cell (slightly wider) would there be enough clearance for the cells or would it be designed specifically for the 5ah pwrxore20 packs (identical to erbauer ext 5ah packs)?

Where do they sell them at ? Lowe’s ?!! Need one

They need a framing nailer and a autofeed screwgun now

The button safety I wish was bigger since I have smaller hands. AND the tool for mine was crap, went to my HVL Cordless saw's tool, and it worked way better and I've had that for a year already 🤣

How does this compare to the TRUHVL? Im split between the 2. Im pretty invested in the 20v line.

You seeing a clearancing out of all grip rite nails and drywall screws in your stores like I am mine? From the south Jersey area

I set it on the edge of the plywood and set the depth that way. Way faster than doing the tape measure way and more accurate

Where I have found the quality of how well the saw does, is the thickness of the base. With a thicker base, you don’t have to worry about the base flexing. Next is the connection of the base to the body of the saw, and the angle brackets. Are they metal or plastic, how solid are they?

Did that with my 36 volt Makita in a oak 8x8 trying to get a 6x6 wrong size material

Would you recommend this over the corded worm drive by skilsaw. Torn between the 2 and price is almost the same. I'd mostly be doing work around the house, so it being corded is not a big issue but always nice to cut the cord. Just don't want yo sacrifice quality for it

What’s the best saw in your opinion? I have mostly kobalt batteries so shoot get the xtr kobalt saw or is there something better

I got one yesterday i tried today but when i press the triger it takes a second to start is that normal?

I think it's time for Ryobi to step up the game for circular saws. That stamped steel shoe is what's holding them back. I like how Skil is trying to distinguish themselves. I wonder if Kobalt is getting one, but unfortunately, new Kobalt circular saw is plagued with premature cut out issues and that goes the same to Skil with their circular saws.

Wow!

Will this work with one battery just out of curiosity?

Sick!

Wow this saw looks great is this on par with the skilsaw truehvl?

Cool saw Vince

cool saw

The saw looks pretty mean and seems powerful. The depth of cut on the SKIL, especially at a 45 degree angle 📐 was impressive. Game changer though? Ehhhh.....I’m not seeing it. It takes two batteries which would get really annoying after awhile. Makita found a solution for that with their XGT line. The higher voltage with the 40v battery I believe is a total game changer. The greatest saw on planet earth, being the cordless Mag77 was definitely a game changer. The only saw with perfect balance because of the battery placement was absolutely genius. I could see somebody getting the SKIL though if they’re already on the platform and they don’t wanna pony up for the mag77. One thing I would really love to see SKIL and SKILSAW do is to start putting numbers (inches) on the depth of cut adjustment instead of the type of material you’re going to be cutting. The saw I’m hoping to be the next game changer is the HILTI Neuron. Really excited about that one hitting the shelves. There’s just something about a blade left rear handle saw that really does it for me. Know what I mean? 😃👍

I do pretty much work with treated wood So I was little worried But this make a job done I recommend spend another 100$ extra and buy two more batteries so you doesn’t have to wait when you a out of juice

Nice piece of machinery! Seems as capable as its '77 relative. Just what nitch is this saw supposed to fill?If you have the cordless 77-do you need this one?It is pretty nice,though!

HEY VINCE.I AM FRIM BRAZIL AND I WAS WATCH YOUR VIDEOS

How about some more 2x 18v Milwaukee tools. The lawnmower is a good start,let's see what else can be done. Very nice skill saw!

How heavy is the saw

I got a M18 7 1/4 rear handed circular saw on the way

Flex made the same type saw with one 24 volt battery. 10 AH battery stacked lithium.

SO... if it's not a worm drive it is going to cut straight?

Power ratio to the 77?

Very nice looking , is it uncomfortably heavy?

Sweeeeeeeet one! 🤘

How's the weight and balance? I know my Milwaukee 7 1/4 gets weird with the weight of a 12 Ah battery in it.

7:28 maybe the wood wasn’t level when made those cuts as others at 2” were more level 😉☺️

helical gear still gear where speed and momentum are optimized like Makita corded worm saw

Check your depth at the start instead of the end of the cut cause looks like the saw come down a little near the end maybe making it 7/8 instead of 3/3

Vince as of today what is your favorite rear handle saw?

How much it weights

How many RPMs?

You young punks get *all* the nice toys!

VGC nice saw

That's exactly the 36 volt makita rear handle saw.

You have to put square on board draw line cut straight

So did skilsaw discontinue their cordless worm drive saw?

I see skill being the entry level to apprentice lineup, carrying over into SKILSAW & FLEX as one progresses to more pro level ...I think that's the way things look for them ...just a guess. I mean Lowes has Craftsman but...other than hand tools...not even interested in the battery or tool lineup. I still have an old set of Craftsman cordless 19.2 OG -ish Craftsman ( considered anyway) that still work & run well. But, upgrades are needed to do better more finished work.

Compare with Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit (4.0 Ah) I definitely will choose Makita!!!!

Very nice, how much Duckits$

How much does it weigh with the batteries?

Hey boss how much$...

FINALLLLYYYYYYYYYYY

I have a question for you? Anyway I can email or talk with you really quick. I purchased an item from Home Depot. They delivered 1 out of 2 items and they refunded me the full refund because the other item got lost. So I still have one item which is pretty much free but I was going to return it. Do you think I’d still be able to return it? Any info would be amazing thanks brother

TTR?! Skil vs Milwaukee?

Tool always looks better with some sawdust on it

SKIL Resurection... it deserves that, SKIL is a brand with History! since they made the SKILSAW Model E in 1924, thousands of U.S. homes were made with the SKILSAW. Good job from Chervon (HK) Ltd.; China, they are doing what BOSCH never did, to honor and respect the brand.

Hey Vince..

Hey Vinny!

😎

If you want the warranty you need to register as home owner,like you will use the saw as a home owner.otherwise they don't valid the warranty,if you put you will use it as a professional...thats B.S.
