So, I got a pretty cheap circ saw for Christmas and returned it today. I am looking for another circ saw to replace it. I already have one cheap saw, so am looking to move up a notch. The more I learn about tools, the more I learn that cheap tools often are more of a headache than they are worth.
So, what is the deal with the worm drive saws? Sears had one, but it weighed a ton. Is there really anything I should be looking for besides amps and is the body not made of plastic, like the one I received. Actually, the thing that bothered me about my Christmas present saw, was that there is a thumb button you have to press in before pulling the trigger. That ensures that you can only use it right handed. There are times when using the saw left handed is more convenient. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
