Do not buy. Definitely not quality built. returned 2 just this week. Both loose shoes and one had the retaining nut fall off when I was loading blade. I would say to spring for the 7 1/4, looks to be better built.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Boght this saw for two reasons. 1 - I'm a lefty and the cutting blade is on my side, 2 - It's more powerful than my other cordless saw. In addition, it came with a fast charger and a great little USB charger that works with the Skil 20 volt power supplies.
I would recommend this to a friend!

1. I like the fact that the motor is small and the shoe (base) is wide (see pic). I usually use the saw shoe and a piece of long wood as a saw guide. Wide shoe with a small motor minimizes the chance that the saw will bump into any obstacles.
2. The 0 and 45 deg notches should also be available on the opposite internal opening side of the shoe. This will help more precision cutting.
3. The brushless sensor control is very sensitive and will stop the motor for no good reasons.
4. The charger is very noisy and does not charge fast.
5. Although the USB charge port is rated at 2.1A. It actually provides much less than that (Don’t know if it’s because the lack of proper support of USB handshake signals. It’s pretty useless for new devices).
Regardless, for DIY projects, I still think it’s a good saw and I recommend it.

The saw worked fine when I was using it and I like that it wasn’t too heavy. However with less than 2 hours on the battery it would no longer charge. Skil was no help because I misplaced my receipt. That is understandable but will be shopping for a new saw other than skil now since I had this issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
