If their Pwrcore20 line is anything like their Pwrcore12 tools.that I have, it's something I need to add. The only worm drive saws I have are a Skilsaw Mag77 and an older 6.5" Skilsaw, both corded and both really heavy and unwieldy.
I have the newer skil 10” contractor table saw, and their newer 10” dual bevel slider. Have had both for over a year. Besides some minor gripes like cheap plastic throat plate on the table saw (made a zero clearance) both these tools have been phenomenal, square, and full of power. Now these are corded but I’ve been impressed with the value propositions skil seems to be bringing the last few years
I have that same table saw. Everything was straight out the box. Used it to install some laminate flooring. It cut flawlessly. Really good investment in my opinion. Only thing I did was change the blade to a fine finish one.
The TS6307-00 tablesaw? How tight is the miter slot? For me, every contractor saw ive checked in stores has an unacceptable amount of play. Wish everyone would stop using tabbed miter slots.
I know this may sound kind of crazy but I kind of wish they made a corded version. I don't want to have to swap over to another battery platform and a corded version would allow me to purchase that saw
@@charlestaylor3195 yeah I have an old 14 amp corded I would like to replace. I already have three different size battery powered circular saw. I would love to get a good corded one.
Just buy a real Skilsaw wormdrive. The corded version if 200 but you'll love it. I just bought the wormdrive cordless it's amazing . These rear handle saws are all wormdrive style.
I have that skill saw it's very nice But very heavy It slides through 2 x 4 like butter I like the fact that the battery charger charges both batteries at the same time
I've never seen a saw throw out that much sawdust like that before. I would like to see a vacuum hooked up and just see how much sawdust is left over.💯👍🇺🇸
Great saw I use it since Menards Bring it to store I pay 250$ with is perfect for saw two batteries and dual charger. Only question I got with rip fence is the best for this specific model
Okay, first…let me say, there’s a reason you have nearly a quarter of a million subscribers. Hilarious AND, comprehensive!! I’m with the corded crowed for the noted reasons BUT, I like this saw!! I also prefer the set up. Say your trimming off access rafters or some such… having the blade on the left…makes those tasks a WHOLE lot easier! For 250 WITH both batteries and the charger…why would anyone say NO! Now, get out of my truck!😁👊🏻🤣
Glad to see Skil really get into the cordless game in a big way with a rear handle saw. Wonder what they SkilSaw version will be like? With the world moving to cordless wonder if the like of the 16 5/16" saws every really become a reality in the cordless world. Those saws at least in a corded version would put a hurtin' on your famous treated 6x6. I know I have one.
I don't think there will ever be a Skilsaw based version of this one. They already got the only cordless wormdrive in the market and it's got more torque than any rear handle saw. Not sure about cordless circular saws bigger than 7 1/4, but I guess their torque needs are way too much for any battery less than 8Ah. I could be wrong, though
@@luisinhoens90 Well, I'm not soo sure about that. Many Cordless brand advertise "The power of a corded Saw or Drill, etc." A corded device can't pull but so much current from a 15 amp circuit and receptacle.1500 - 1600 watts maybe as much as 1800 +/- watts on 20 amp circuit and single device 20 amp receptacle for a plug and cord device. So the future may have some light at the end of the tunnel for such a beast...We will just have to wait and see!
@@Sniper269 There are indeed 7 1/4" corded saws with 15 amp motors but the bigger saws got more torque and less RPMs to match the same amps with sustained performance. So yeah, maybe I'm not accurate on that one, or it's just such a small market. What is true is there are more capable battery systems than in the past and both the 36V/40V systems as well as the 2x18V systems may prove with enough oomph to power more demanding applications such as those big saws. I couldn't agree more (to wait and see)
I have the Skilsaw Truehvl. It's meh. I'd pick the dewalt over it if I could re buy a rear handle. Its better in every way, bar the familiar ergonomics of a worm drive (More than likely, if you had a corded rear handle, it was a Skilsaw). The battery is HEAVY and doesnt seem to last for how big it is. The only thing I really like about the skilsaw is the dust shoot.
What about miter/compound miter cuts. Those are the cuts that some saws get hung up with the guard not retracting. Usually straight 90⁰ and straight 90⁰ bevel cuts aren't a big problem.
Well Sir I do believe Sir that will be my Next New Saw Sir O ya yah it looks like a Winer Winer Chicken Dinner you don did a Marvelous Demo with that Skil Saw Sir that's Love Power Baby because I Love Power Bay Bay
No… I do not need to see this! I will not watch th…… Ohhhhh that’s NAAASSSSSS! Soooooo NASSSSS!🤣🤣. Man Clint, for only being rated at 5300? BEASTMODE brother✊. Definitely need to check this one out. That helical gear is the way to go for sure. Thanks for the review bud. Appreciate it
looks like a sweeeeeet saw, I'm gonna look into this one ,75 thousand dollars for a 6x6? you must have connections somewhere to get lumber that cheap, enjoyed the video
Hey so I need some feedback. I'm heavily invested in Milwaukee but from what research I've done, none of their saws are really that great. I'm a stickler for getting the right tools for whatever job I'm doing, so it's important I buy a good saw. Im going to be getting into a lot of wood projects soon, so I'm really considering this saw because of quality and price. I'd like to get a track kit to turn it into a track saw. Does anyone know what kit would work with this (if any) and/or have any other suggestions?
@@ToolReviewZone Is it really worth the price difference between that and the Skil? The Skil is $250, that Dewalt is $450. I mean I'll pay that if it really is worth it
Bought this saw and had to return it because it just would not make a straight cut not even with I had a guard clamped on it kept shifting to the right
There’s nothing worse than a blade guard that snags in boards, although being kidnapped and thrown into a truck by some guy in Ohio takes a close second.
I commented above that the Skil PWRCore platform might be the Prosumer brand that finally nails it in providing tools that bot professionals and DIY can use. Reliability and longevity remain to be seen.
I want to make a snide comment about how this has grown from an LXT to an XGT, but I’m not a gnome anymore.I would also want to go on to rant about how unimpressed you’d be with it if it was rendered teal and only needed one battery. IDK what those Makita people did to you, but they must have been real jerks. Sorry about all the editing, but this is conflicting for me.
CRAZZZZYYY DAYS WHEN THE PRICE OF A LUMP OF LUMBER COSTS MORE THAN THE TOOL TO CUT IT. not quite but you know what im sayin buddy. ;) great vid keep em commin reeeaalll nice like ;)
I replaced my stolen Makita tools with a few skil 20v tools and I was really impressed. I had to replace my Makitas qick to get to work so I went for the lower price and expected to be dissapointed, but was really happy, until they got stolen !! So I lock my new Makitas but would recomend skil to anyone
Hasn't this saw been out for well over a year? But yeah, SKIL seems to be raising the bar as far as quality, selection of tools and performance goes. I have some of the PWRCore 20V Tools i bought a few years ago which was really my first foray into power tools in general and the drill and impact i owned were decent quality, though the circular saw i bought was just really cheaply made and i didn't even feel safe using it, but it was like $50 or something on sale so you get what you pay for. Their newer stuff seems to be pretty nice though and they have some good stuff in their 12V lineup as well. The TTC tested the 12V right angle impact driver against Milwaukee's 12V and 18V models as well as Makita and it destroyed both in terms of power and it was significantly cheaper than the competition. One other thing that gets a lot of people confused is that SKIL and SKILSAW are basically two different brands. SKIL is the cheaper stuff and SKILSAW sells the high end stuff. I'm sure you already know this Clint, but i just figured i'd put that out there.
Yo Clint! Nice Halloween-like beginning. ✔ That saw seems awesome! Though, for the price, they should throw in another set of bat-rays to compete with the Makita rear-handled saw. Also, to be critical, you didn't USE 3 bars of fuel, you had 3 bars REMAINING. That's real nass like!
Anybody can cut on nice saw horses or table. Let's see how it works when you're standing on the top plate bracing the piece on your left knee with your left hand while cutting it with your right hand.
Nice saw but we all know that batteries are expensive so I'm not too sure on that I'll have to do some more research but anyways like to review good job, and remember, stay Sharp
I'd love the blade on the left-hand side, makes more since for right-handed people or here to me at least. Man for $231.57 you can't go wrong with 2 -20v bat-rays @ 5AH is an incredible deal with charger & bag to top it off so thanks for that, it really nice!!!!!!!!!!!
The blade on the wrong side is a massive deal breaker for me. When your blade is on the operator's side there is WAY more chip out and tear out that goes flying at the operator. I upgraded from the Milwaukee 6 1/2" saw to the 7 1/4" saw for that reason alone! It helps that the bigger saw is much stronger but the 6.5 did have all the power I needed... Just my two bits, I'm sure many other people will prefer their saws in the left blade configuration and that's ok too. It's ok to be wrong. Just kidding.
What do you think of this new SKIL Saw?
I think Skil PowerCore could be turning into the Goldilocks of power tool platforms. Just right for both professionals and DIYers.
got to admit its a lot of saw for the price. it looks like it up there with the best of them well on the way ;)
Definitely surprised with its performance Robert 👊
If their Pwrcore20 line is anything like their Pwrcore12 tools.that I have, it's something I need to add. The only worm drive saws I have are a Skilsaw Mag77 and an older 6.5" Skilsaw, both corded and both really heavy and unwieldy.
It looks great! You might agree with me for saying this Clint, but Skil just out-classed Makita’s 36V rear handle saw by a wide margin.
You can always depend on Skil to put out a great circular saw. So glad it's a left blade design, definitely on my short list of tools to check out.
I have the newer skil 10” contractor table saw, and their newer 10” dual bevel slider. Have had both for over a year. Besides some minor gripes like cheap plastic throat plate on the table saw (made a zero clearance) both these tools have been phenomenal, square, and full of power.

Outstanding review Clint! Love the ability to direct or vacuum the sawdust. Thanks for the Birthday shoutout the other day…….that was awesome!
Haha, thanks Steve, I appreciate brother, and you are welcome!!!
SKIL is the OG. Love how they cut in when least expected.
Skil has been making some good tools for the past few years. They have always been decent, now Thier moving up the chart.
It's pretty exciting to see brother
Bought it when it first came out for $199. Have used this for months and no issues to report. Batteries last longer than you would expect.
That's the one thing that got me too was the battery life Fred 👊👊
😵💫Wood prices!!😳 Nice saw. Still not changing platforms - 2z enough. Like the L hand blade. Love my 36v Makita.
The Makita saw is also great

Good saw my father had3 of them

Could you help me understand the connection if any that Skil has to Skilsaw?
Same parent company Chervon but Skilsaw is marketed exclusively to professional tradesman while Skil is a "prosumer" brand.
Comment below is 💯 spot on
I was surprised that you had such a tough time getting Vance into your truck lol
Hahaha, he is very feisty
Now that's funny.
Not talking was the best part.
OK Clint, what ever you say, just untie me. I wasn't ignoring you, I was using the restroom, and I wasn't done yet. Yes it was a great video.
Neat sawing machine-how does it compare to the Skilsaw cordless 77 WD that uses one 48v battery?
Only down side to the saw is that the batteries don't like the cold. In my experience.
If you buy your 6x6 treated with pilot holes predrilled they cost even more!.. I think your wrench was draggin
whaaa nice saw.
