Hey Shawn, I've been mulling over purchasing the Mag77. What do you, or any other Mag77 owners out there think of it. It definately looks like the last circular saw I'll have to buy. But 16 lbs, ouch, that'll get heavy after a while.
Cheap tools will cost more in the long run.

: Porter Cable's routers and RO sanders are nice, Hitachi sliding compound
: miter saws are amazing. Skil Mag 77 worm-drive circular saws. Dewalt gets
: the nod for 18V cordless tools.
: I hear you about the Bosch jigsaw--nice machinery. I really like the quick
: change mechanism--much less temptation to use the wrong blade, just
: because it's already installed and too much hassle to change to another.
