Skilsaw Model 77

In 1924, Skil Power Tools created a unique power tool that changed the construction and home improvement industries forever. The invention of the Skilsaw circular saw helped build America by providing a low cost portable way to quickly cut materials on a job site. Rooted in an idea for a motorized machete to cut sugarcane, modern day circular saw technology came to life with the development of the Skilsaw model E saw. The model E had a die-cast aluminum housing that defined the portable electric power circular saw market and paved the way for and the Skilsaw model 77.


The Skilsaw model 77 had a unique worm drive gearing that gave high torque and durability for a long tool life. 77 years later, the updated and improved Skilsaw model 77 can be found on many job sites all over America. It is a true success story with a long history of performance and quality that is still the favorite of contractors across the country.


"The introduction of the first Skilsaw circular saw changed the construction industry forever," said Mark Miklosz, Skil circular saw product manager. "After more than seven decades, the Skilsaw is recognized as one of the tools that has had the greatest impact on residential construction in America."


In celebration of the 77th anniversary of this American original, Skil has created a limited anniversary edition Skilsaw model 77 worm drive circular saw.
