“Craftsman circular saw is an excellent value”
I bought this saw to replace my Craftsman saw that I'd had for several years and destroyed. I was happy with the previous saw and decided to buy another Craftsman. So far, I am happy with my purchase. I love the LED light that comes on as soon as it is plugged in because it gives me a visual telltale...

I bought this March 2009. Used It on 1 small project. I went to use it today and saw that the front handle was cracked. I tugged on it and it broke. Sears Hardware would send it out for $29.99, but I said no. I ordered a replacement handle, costing approx $15 with shipping. This saw replaced a 30 year...

I bought this Craftsman circular saw with the intent for it to be my main saw for a long, long time. And it looks like I made a good decision.
The blades are easy to swap in and out depending on the material you need to cut. Simply unscrew the nut and washers with the handy wrench that inserts back into the saw and put the new blade on. The laser track is nice but you'll still want to make line measurements on the wood to follow. It is precisely straight but that is just my recommendation.
For those reviews that complain that the unit is too loud, it is a saw so it is going to be loud. A carrying...

I have dropped it from about 10 feet with no damage. This is by far the best saw for the price. The laser is definitely helpful. The saw is a little heavy and perhaps a little louder than other similar saws, but definitely not a reason to keep you from buying. This would make a great gift.
I needed a circular saw for basic projects around the house. I didn't want a bare bones model and I didn't want to spend a ton of money either. This Craftsman 13 amp model fit my needs perfectly. It's well designed with comfortable handles. The adjustments are easy to use. And the price is great.
I was working on tearing down my old deck to prepare for the new one and in the process my trusty old Craftsman 2 hp circular saw gave up the ghost. The good news, if such a thing is possible at that point, is that my saw died after it finished the last cut I needed from it. Rest in peace, my old friend, rest in peace.
Out with the old and in with the new!
I went to Sears today and was mulling over my choices for a new circular saw. I saw the usual suspects hanging on the display wall, Skil, DeWalt, Craftsman, Porter Cable, Bosch and so on. I picked up the Evolv saw and at $40 it was sure light...
read full review »this saw is perfect for a homeowner looking to pile up some necessary tools for projects around the house without spending alot of money as usual i waited for it to go on sale and used a coupon and got it for 39 99 .i wish it had a case but i cant complain considering the price a quality budget tool that does the job
A really nice saw for the money. Holds up to my abuse and that is saying something, Sometimes I even let my husband borrow it. I just finished a sign for my Dad's shelter house, he will love it!
It's a great circular saw! I highly recommend.
I have to say that out of all the different circular saws I've owned, the one I keep coming back to is the Craftsman 7-1/4" corded circular saw for its rugged cxonstruction, and capable motor. This saw just will not lug down on the thickest hardwood I've put under it! My latest I got as a Xmas gift way back in 1991, and it's still looking and running like new. Not sure when, if ever I'll need to replace it, but if I do it'll be another Craftsman to be sure!!!
Have purchased Craftsman tools for years and they just keep on going and going, strong and dependable.
Works great. Laser helpful.
Great power, clean cuts. Laser makes staying online easier. Just bought it today and sliced through 19/32 OSB like butter. I love that there's a storage spot right on the saw for the blade wrench. I know I won't have to search for it when I change blades.
LED work light on front helps with visibility. Everything on this saw is easy to make adjustments to.
It was on sale for $20 off and $7 for a warranty extension to 3 years. What more could you want for under $60?
Some complain it's loud, but I cut the OSB with my wife sleeping in the next room and she said she never heard it....
It's great to have a reasonably priced Craftsman circular saw with the laser! It's so easy to handle and so easy to see the line with the laser, especially as we age!
Perfect saw for medium to heavy duty work. If you're looking for a home improvement "once in awhile" light duty saw, go with a smaller one. Personally, I love this one.
