Hi just bought a used Craftsman circular saw.
Model: 315.108400
11AMP
7.25 inch blade type.
Anyway, trying to remove the old blade from the saw, and so I am using that
wrench
socket thing that came with the saw to try and unbolt that bolt and the
whole blade just keeps spining.
Is there a trick to locking that blade down so you can use the wrench to
loosen the nut and remove the old blade?
Or did I just bought myself an unusable saw?


Yeah, that can happen. But the OP said the blade was spinning.
He just didn't know how to stop it from turning.


Vise grips do a nice job. Or C-clamp.
Toe of your boot (make sure saw is
unplugged).
