Ranked Best High-torque Hybrid Circular Saw => Excellent
Consumer Reports, Volume 73, 2008-01

by Toolmark

Consumer Reports testers ranked this as the overall best high-torque hybrid circular saw, with an evaluation score that puts it in the "excellent" range. The power and construction are excellent, and the cutting speed and ease of use are very good. The maximum cutting depth is 2 7/16 inches. Such heavy saws are mostly used only by professionals since they tend to be unsuitable for non-pros.

grade A

New King of the Hill In Worm/hypoid Category (2007-08-01)

by Morepower

Recent reviews show the DeWalt DW378GK and others handily beating the previous favorite, the Skil HD77.

The reviewers really liked:

Plenty of power
The well balanced feel with a well designed handle
Great performing blade guard (even doing bevel cuts)
Smooth running base
Greate sight line
Integrated rafter hook
DeWalts 90 day satisfaction guarantee

The only negative is lack of indents for bevel stops.

2 out of 5 Disappointing Durability (2007-12-05)

Nice Saw and I've owned it for three years. Not a lot of use and it always performed well. I loaned it to a fellow I know well to build a dog house. When I get it back it acts like I need new brushes.... (More)
