Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita 5740NB 10.5 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw

Customer Review: Makita 5740 7-1/4 saw
Summary: 3 Stars

A nice light saw, much easier to use overhead or cutting siding ion the wall. Adjustment is primitive- but light. Blade guard hangs up a bit. The first time I dropped it, the plate came out of line with the blade, and the second time, the blade guard cracked front and rear where the plate mounts. I might buy another because the mag is clunky, but the price is high. 5007nk is a better buy
