Christmas is coming. I'm considering buying a circular saw for my daughter. She's 26.
Other than a drill, this will be her first real power tool. I have a Porter Cable 743 left blade which I love. I'd buy her the same saw but it's no longer available, other than used. Same for the 843 which I believe is the same saw but with a brake. Same issue with PC 424 MAG, another saw in that same line. (I think).
So, if I can't get what I'm familiar with, I'm looking for suggestions for decent left blade circular saw. A brake would be great.
No, she is not going to start framing houses, at least not right away. ;-) All I know really know is that she wants to start doing some woodworking and was wondering what type of "first saw" she should get. She also mentioned cutting up some pallets to make a compost bin.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
