You may be wrong:
https://www.skilsaw.com/saws#17696

Doesn't even show up on www.skiltools.com. Confusing indeed.

I get this this great big banner, alternating with a banner for
their homeowner circular saw line. Right on the main page.

If you go on amazon.com, search for 7 1/4" circular saws, and sort on
customer reviews, the top 12 saws are all Skil, Dewalt, and Makita.
No. 10 is a worm drive Skil.

There's a lot more to the sorting by reviews than just the reviews.
You could have a dozen widgets with the exact same reviews and they'll
get sorted a certain way for various reasons.
Amazon is a bit tricky that way.


I thought this thread was about the availability of worm drive Skil
circular saws. I'm not getting sucked into a discussion of the merits
of various methods for assessing the value of Amazon customer reviews.
