  • The best in class
Been using this for 11 years now around the farm. Bought it when building a deck but since then it just gets occasional use. I'm not really a fan of handheld circular saws, I prefer 10 inch blades on a table saw or miter saw. My Skil recipricating saws get the most use. This Makita is far and away the best handheld circular saw I've ever used. It wasn't treated with kid gloves. Never cleaned or oiled. Every control still works like new. It uses very few blades. It cuts quickly, accurately, and cool. It has great torque, but between the stock narrow kerf blade and its heft, it doesn't feel like it even uses it. For trimming and plunge cuts I really appreciate the stability and visibility. I will buy another if this one ever gives out, which doesn't seem like it ever will. ... show more

  • Outstanding rear handle circular saw
Makita 5377MG Magnesium 7-1/4-Inch Hypoid Saw Worm drive (or hypoid gear) saws are heavier than standard circular saws, but have several advantages. - their gearbox slows blade rotation to about 4400 rpm from the typical 5800 rpm (e.g., Porter Cable Sidewinder). Makita says this is to increase torque and cutting power. - the motor is parallel with the cut line, so the saw is long and relatively narrow. This increases tool control since there is less potential for the saw torquing away from the cut. E.g., it's easier to control this type of saw with one hand once the cut begins. - having the blade on the left side of the tool is a boon to right-handers, because you can see the blade as it cuts. I sold my first generation Makita hypoid saw recently, even though there was nothing wrong with it, and immediately purchased the 5377MG as its replacement. Pros: - as of this writing (November 2011) no saw of this type is lighter than this model's 13.2 pounds. Magnesium is used for the motor case, the blade shroud, the blade guard, and the baseplate. No doubt, other makers will soon make lightweight magnesium saws... - hypoid drives (see Customer Image) run cooler than worm drives, which allowed Makita to seal the gear box. As a result, no oil changes are ever required. Hotter running worm drive saws used frequently will require periodic gear-case oil changes and the gears wear faster - at least according to Fine Woodworking. - excellent ergonomics - well balanced and comfortable for my XXL hands. The rubber coated rear handle is really nice. - all control levers have a thick non-slip rubber exterior. It's quick and easy to set depth of cut, angle, and to control the blade guard. - the blade guard is much improved over my old hypoid; it doesn't seem to hang up, regardless of the material width, thickness, etc., and its placement is just right. - the baseplate on my 5377MG is perfectly flat. - cutting angle is easily adjusted between 90 and 51.5 degrees. To go over 45 degrees, there is a separate knob to turn, just in case you didn't mean to set it that high. - includes a stored-in-the handle Allen wrench for blade changes. - heavy-duty rafter hook is easily swivelled out of the way. - 10', 14 gage, 3-wire rubber cord with a superb cord protector at the motor end. Cord stays flexible even in very cold temperatures. - includes a 24-tooth carbide thin kerf blade Cons: - Steel reinforced magnesium or all steel, base plates, available on competing models, are less prone to bending (if dropped) than the all magnesium 5377MG plate, according to Fine Woodworking's Tool Guide. - There is a small torque-kick when it first starts - just be aware of it. Other: - there's no blade brake, but a spinning blade under zero load will stop in just over 3 seconds. - A rip fence is an extra cost item. If you need one, do an Amazon search on "makita rip fence". This is a con if you need a rip fence - for everyone else, it's lacking makes the tool cost less. Summary: This excellent lighter rear handle saw should be on your short list. ... show more

  • With the right blade will cut like a grizzly bear.
Very powerful professional saw that has taken me through a lot of projects. Lighter than my old worm drive and a lot more powerful. Worth the extra money to get a good tool you can depend on.

  • Beast
If you’re expecting this to be light and nimble then you have no idea what you’re buying or why. They mention how it’s lighter from the magnesium several times in the description, I couldn’t imagine how they could have made it heavier. It’s exactly what I wanted, a heavy duty top quality work horse. If it was any lighter it would be cheap, flimsy and harder to control with surgical precision like it is. If you have little girl arms and hands this beast will probably make you cry. I almost went with the considerably less expensive Ridgid worm drive, but after researching all the advantages of a hypoid gear over a worm gear the final choice required little thought. They only complaints I have are in the product description: 1) I wish they provided the actual at the blade torque specs on these. It would make comparative shopping much easier. 2) The description specs state in 2 different boxes that this is “brushless”. It absolutely is not a brushless motor. I did how ever know this was wrong before I ordered it because in the picture you can clearly see the 2 black caps on the sides of it for replacing the brushes. ... show more

  • Very Good Saw
Bought this saw for some cabinetry work. I am using it to rip 4 - 8 foot sheets of plywood lengthwise with a 140 tooth blade. Overview: A very hefty saw, the weight of it will surprise you and your arms will be sore after a day of using it. However, the handles and trigger are well designed and the saw never felt unwieldy. I also have not noticed any of the initial-start torque issues that other people have complained about. Perhaps they have corrected some of that problem with a revision to the saw design? Pros: * Perfect cuts - 8 foot cuts in plywood with a rip fence, blade never got bogged down. * Easy depth and angle adjustment * Ergonomic handle positions * Very sturdy base -- well reinforced, does not look like it would warp if dropped (although I'm not going to try it) Cons: * Heavy! * Angle adjustment could be a little more precise * Crap documentation - Bad for a novice user, experienced woodworkers will figure it out. * No bag provided. Pretty much every single tool I have bought in the last decade came with a sturdy cordura or other heavy mesh carrying bag. For some reason, Makita skimped the extra $4 of cost to provide one with a $170.00 saw... it's a bummer. Fortunately, my long dead cordless Rigid circular saw's bag fits this saw nicely. Invest in a carrying bag for transport and storage. ... show more
