L have owned and used this saw on construction sites, home repair and general wood cutting projects. It has served me well for 20 or so years and finally I must replace the trigger switch. The only maintenance ever done to it was to drain and replace the gear oil every two years, more often under heavy use. I have used it with a diamond blade to cut cementious siding and ceramic floor tiles. I have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about my Skilsaw! Rather, I lavish praise on it for its' toughness, its' power and stability in use under harsh conditions and in the poshness of a workshop. It has never let me down.
My only regret is that the magnesium model was not available at the time I made my purchase. I still cannot justify replacing it with anything else!
Love it, Love it, Love it!
