I was watching this because of the good reviews (5 stars on Lowe’s, which incorporates Skil.com reviews), including various demos on youtube, and because of some bad reviews on the Dewalt and Milwaukee saws that said the blade holder breaks (for one of them, I forget which, there’s a youtube video to replace the holder which requires a new shaft, which is about $44 and requires a propane torch to remove some bolts). So I bought this Skil from eBay here for $77 with no tax and free shipping (some are still available from that seller as I write this). I received the saw a couple of days ago and just tested it a little. Vibration isn’t gone, for sure. But you can tell there’s some lowering of vibration. Seems a substantial saw (~9 lbs.). Seems a great price for a 13 amp saw (Milwaukee’s 15A Sawzall is heavier and its sale price is $150). I bought a second one for my nephew, this time from Lowe’s ($7 more but easier returns).
This is made in China, by Chervon, who bought Skil from Bosch. It’s been on the market about a year.
