Circular saws are like pickup trucks--everyone seems to have a stand-alone favorite, a
saw that (in the user's experience, anyway) vastly outperforms all others. Well, on a lot of
job sites that favorite is the 7-1/4-inch Makita. With its long-lasting 13 amp Makita motor,
heavy-duty aluminum foot, and easy-to-read gauges, this saw is tough to find fault with.
The bevel adjusts smoothly with a screw-tightened lock, and depth adjustments are
equally easy to make. There's also a built-in shaft lock for easy blade changes. As with so
many Makita tools, the brushes are easily accessed and replaced. While it's true that with
heavy use the depth adjustment can start slipping, retightening the lever lock is fairly
easy. The main reason we (along with a lot of other people) like Makita's saw, however, is
its remarkably well-balanced design: it's extremely easy to follow a line, and even after a
long day of making cuts, this saw still feels good in your hand. --Jon Groebner
