SKIL dates to 1924 and the invention of the worm drive circular saw, a design still copied today; the brand passed from Bosch to Chervon in 2016. Current focus is the PWRCore 12 and PWRCore 20 lines with lithium cells cooled through the pack, plus the PWRJump charger that gives roughly a 25 percent charge in five minutes. Corded classics remain in the catalogue, including the SPT77 worm drive saw favoured by west coast framers.
Reasonable for home renovation, deck work and light trade use where the budget is tight but the tool still has to cut straight. Build quality has improved under Chervon, though fit and finish do not reach Makita or Bosch Professional standards. The tool selection is modest next to Ryobi, service centres are sparse, and the brand carries an outdated reputation that does not reflect the newer PWRCore models.
