Power of A Circular Saw – A Review Question

When we buy power tools in general, all too often we concentrate on the power only and disregard the benefits any features can bring us. Visitors to Inside Woodworking often ask about the best circular saw for their needs. Here an example question from Mark - mostly focusing on power instead of quality or features:

“..I am in need of a replacement circular saw. How can I be certain that my saw will have the power to spare, and be the dependable workhorse that I have become use to?  I miss the saw already.”
Mark Todd at Miami Florida.

Mark, when you go out to purchase your next circular saw you might find yourself overwhelmed by the number of either corded or cordless models. We put together an extensive article called circular saw reviews that compares circular saws, by motor power, features and accessories.
