I've had one for 23 years and really like it. However it's heavier than a boat anchor. It has very little vibration and it allows to reach a long way across things to continue a cut. Make sure the piece being cut is well supported as you would need to be a real horse to stiff arm it back. I dont think anybody would use it for overhead cuts, again to heavy. Anybody out there have and still use the 10" Skil wormdrive.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
I have a really old one all metal, to heavy for everyday use, I do have a 10inch skill worm, used it once wish it was a 10 and one quater, That too is to heavy unless im ripping 2x then its great I keep a old one with a metal blade in it.
