Old Skil Saw

5 1/2-inch handheld circular saws used to be common, even predominant
(before 1960 or so). I have a Black & Decker one from the 1970s that
I like because it is so lightweight. Blades are still available.
They're even back in production again.
I bought one - on sale - about a year ago.
Lightweight plastic housing makes it very easy to handle.
For heavier work, though, I've an old Singer-made Craftsman Commercial
7 1/4" saw with a cast Aluminum housing [heavy thing] that's easier to keep
going straight on long cuts.
