Skil’s enviable reputation in circular saws is so ingrained that many refer to any circ saw as a “SkilSaw”. Balance, power and weight are critical factors in saw design and improvements have been incremental – each ounce shed is a major achievement.
The challenge to Group 4 was to carry the SkilSaw legacy into a new generation of saws with updated features and a 2-3 lb. weight reduction.
The outcome represents the crowning achievement of a 10+ year design partnership that launched over 200 products into the market.
The final design achieved a 2+ pound weight reduction and introduced a number of time saving and accuracy enhancing features while infusing the saw with the earned equities pro’s have come to expect.
