We compare the New Hitachi Work Drive saws to some of the other saws on the market to give a good comparison for what a user should expect. The prices are all very close, but in one case the power is lacking. Comfort and balance are also not the same among the brands.

I like tha other style dewalt worm drive ..
That Ridgid sounded like Thomas the tank. Like I think I can, I think I can. But it did make it.
It didn’t sound like it would hold up over time. For me, I want my tools to last til the day I die. So for like 50, 60 years.
The best one though is battery operated. Or maybe someone can come out with a hybrid.
Great Worm Review#WorkshopAddict
See here for a great tear down/review of the new skil 77 by AvE – breaks my heart to watch it – sad to see where skil has gone since they are now simply a chinese saw with the skilsaw name…

Which one would you recommend?
Bosch own Freud blades so it’s interesting to see they supplying them new
Take it from a Framer, they all suck, worm drives or any other drive will suck until they bring back 18-20 amp saws. No power anymore, ripping takes a tole on every saw especially when you either rip into bigger material or use bigger blades with same motors. FYI I use makita everything. Whenever I can except big foot saws
So which Saw came in first ,second, third. ???
if the skill saw was 50% more id go for a cheaper saw but for for a 10-15% difference im not gonna step down to a ridgid saw thats not gonna be as much of a joy as the skill
this was no help in distinguishing the differences
you think it’s steel or aluminum? you can’t tell the difference, can you? This tells me I should stop watching this review right now. Thanx, but not thanx!
The Dewalt corded worm drive would beat them all. I get you hate Dewalt winning all the time. Even the Dewalt FlexVolt cordless would beat the rigid and Bosch….
“No matter how you cut it…”
You should fire your video editor for not putting a rimshot in there.
regarding screws on hitachi, maybe these are JIS screws, and not philips, just like japan made cars and motorbikes use JIS, these are much better than philips.
Bosch does not own Skillsaw anymore. Another company bought Skillsaw about 2-3 months ago.
My only question is cheap aluminum or a little more for magnesium 77?
Here is a design review of the Skilsaw, a different contrasting view:

No Makita?
How long have hitachi owned metabo? Is this something to do with the new kit they suddenly have about?
I bought that Ridgid worm drive a number of years ago, and never liked it. I always thought it was lacking but never ran it head to head with a 77 so it’s nice to see I wasn’t just brand biased. it lives with a Diablo metal cutting blade for metal studs or mild steel now. After getting the Makita X2 rear handle (or the DeWalt if that’s your flavor) I can’t see myself breaking out a corded saw for just about anything aside from wet cutting or masonry.
Hitachi has really stepped up their game in the past year!!
Skill #1, bosch, makita #2
Diablo blades #1
I like your comparison logic!
Man, you were freaking me out when you were cutting with the saws with your left hand right in front of the blade. I don’t think that is an approved support technique. 🙂
All good !
If you are most interested in what will last you the longest, along with good power, you have to go with Makita
Bought a Skil saw last fall – hated it so much it’s still basically brand new as I had to buy another Milwaukee (which is what I was replacing)
Dewalt and Makita? Where you at?
Recently The Robert Bosch company sold the Skil and Skilsaw brands to Chervon. Chervon owns the EGO Power ope brand and a couple other brands.
Im bakeing some chicken strips. You want to come over? Ill share
The Skilsaw and Bosch are identical aside from the brand name and color! Bosch sold Skilsaw to Chevron in 2017!
Skilsaw made in china is not Skilsaw. I’ll stick with Makita
I prefer my Bosch Worm Drive 1677MD Direct Connect. If the cord gets cut I just need a new extension cord.
