Pros:
Good Grip, Good Safety Features
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
It has met every expectation. A great performer. Smooth, powerful cutting tool. Great visibility when making precision cuts. The only drawback - due to its size and shape, it is a little more difficult to store than most circular saws. However, a tool bag is a good solution to that minor inconvenience.
