I need to purchase a circular saw. I just need a basic middle
of the road quality model. I like to purchase good quality
items that with proper care and maintenance will last a
long long time.

My FIL bought all three of his son-in-laws the DeWalt DW364.
It's a lot of saw. Hopefully it's what you're looking for.
