In this episode, I review the Skil Powercore 12(PWRCore 12), 51/2" Brushless Circular Saw. I was curious about it, being only 12 volts, so I bought it to check it out. It came with the saw, 4.0 ah battery, and charger included for under $100, which is a hard to find deal.

Here is my Amazon affiliate link for the saw where I get a small amount if your purchase through it:
