All circular saws are not equal. This one would sit above the rest even if all that set it apart was its blade-change system. No more wrestling with wrenches---say hello to Porter-Cable's Quik-Change keyless, tool-free blade change setup. It's ingenious in its ease and simplicity. But the good news doesn't stop there. It's aggressive and powerful, cutting cleanly through whatever you feed it. The electric brake feature will bring the blade to a full stop in an amazing two seconds. Some other really nice features distinguish it, too, like the on-board cord clip that keeps the power cord clear of your cutting line. And the built-in dust port that rotates 205 degrees for efficient dust collection with a 1-inch outlet. Even the handle gets a nod from us, with its soft, comfortable grip. Miter capacity is a versatile 0-50 degrees, and of course, there's a super-accurate positive stop at 45 degrees. Whether you're a dedicated home do-it-yourselfer or a professional, you can't go wrong with this saw.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

PC 424MAG Circular Saw:
Received saw today. Seems well made and the table looks very good. However, do not believe the note that it comes with a case. It does not! It comes with a very cheap bag that does nothing to protect the saw and does not even have a pocket for saw blades or the manual. The electric brake still allows the blade to spin for a good 3 seconds before it stops. Did not expect cheap bag and inadequate brake for this much money. I would return it, but I need it now so will keep it.
RRibariu:
It was as advertised...a little heavy, but it is 10 lbs.
Otherwise, it is a great too an will last a good long time
Exceptional saw!:
Before purchasing this saw, I worked with a $50 Black & Decker Quantum. What a difference!! This saw cuts smoothly, has a nice blade and comparatively light. Other features like the electric brake, dust port, depth & tilt levers, and left blade make this saw outstanding. You can't go wrong with this one.
big amps, expensive:
Pros: Well made, lots of power for *real* men, less than 10 lbs. Nice balance, blade left is great (for me). You get what you pay for, but twice the quality costs 4 times as much. Kinda like fancy bike parts. Excellent bearings, cuts straight with guide like (the better, but plunge-only) Festool. Cons: Very loose floppy blade guard, but does work great and does not stick. I am sick of McMansions, huge mega-pickup-trucks on jobsites, 10,000 sq ft houses on 12.000 sq ft lots, super-size-me. get outa my way... more info
