This saw is comfortable, balanced, and the reduction in weight was well thought out.Ī two position saw hook is well placed and securely holds the saw on 2x lumber and often came in handy allowing you to hang your saw on a ladder, joist, or rafter without it falling off.ĭuring angled cuts we appreciated the anti-snag lower guard which seemed to improve the overall guard functionality and provide smooth guard operation for small cut-off pieces. I plowed through double plywood, 2x stock and 4x stock with zero issues. The reduction in weight will benefit the user over time with hopefully reduced fatigue in repetitive use situations. Using the tools weight and gravity to make cuts with this saw still hasn’t changed.

It has a 15 amp motor and still has enough weight, stability and smoothness that most worm drive fans love and appreciate this new weight “sweet-spot.” While the lighter weight of this saw is appreciated this is not a light saw. Releasing the spring stop allows for a bevel adjustment up to 53°, a 2° bevel increase over the MAG77.

One nice thing I noticed is that when I tested the depth-of-cut scale was that the saw sets at approximately ¼” deeper than the measurement allowing for the one tooth length to penetrate the material and minimize splintering. I never really use the scale and wonder if the production cost would come down if they eliminated it altogether? I’m guessing they are trying to get you in the ball park quickly. plywood, and for 1x and 2x dimensional lumber. I’m not a huge fan of the depth-of-cut adjustment which is marked for 1⁄4-in., 1⁄2-in., and 3⁄4 in. There is an adjustment to ensure the blade is 90 degrees to the base which is nice for setting up the saw and checking it after a drop. The spindle lock is more accessible the previous model and makes the blade change process faster. Currently it enjoys the reputation as being the lightest worm-drive saw on the market.Īttaching the blade to the Mag77LT was easier. Skil achieved this weight reduction by using magnesium in the blade guard, base plate, motor and gear housing. and has an 8-foot power cord with a twist lock plug. The Mag77LT measures 9 x 20.75 inches, weighs 13.2 lb. This saw is even lighter than my Dewalt DWS535 and the Makita’s hypoid 5377MG.

The best feature on this multipurpose wrench is the positive-action “snap in” that holds it securely in the saw’s base plate.

It is very much still the “Skilsaw” that we all know with the same basic time-tested design. The Mag 77LT is Skil’s newest and lightest circular saw yet.
