Just bolt on the included Diablo blade, and even the toughest jobs don’t stand a chance. SHD77M (F012SD7707) 7 1/4 inch Magnesium Worm Drive Skilsaw 14. On top of our legendary Worm Drive, you get the best-in-class Dual-Field motor, engineered specifically by SKIL for saws. Unstoppable durability meets lightweight ease for long days and a motor that stays cooler for years of heavy use. However, when the chips are down and big stuff needs cutting, I whip out the Skil unit (well, lug it out, since whipping it would pull my arm out of joint) and power my way through whatever lies ahead. lighter than the previous incarnation, this Skilsaw is built with rugged magnesium. The thing weighs half what the Mag-77 does, also has a left-side blade, and I reviewed it elsewhere on this tool review site. Corded Magnesium Worm Drive Circular Saw is lighter and better than ever. If your really into classic Skil you will also want one of their model 100 "Surfboard" planers.SKILSAW SPT77WM-22 15 Amp 7-1/4 in. If your looking for a collectible saw I would either suggest a Model E or for a more modern one, one of the 250 saws that Skil offered as a limited edition, that was painted in an American flag style color scheme.

After going back and forth with Skils customer service who insisted that none of their model 77s ran grease, I tried oil. When I purchased this saw its gearcase was filled with grease, not oil, and included in the tools case was a tube of Skil branded grease. It has enough power in my opinion, to still be quite useful.
