Will do some more research on the Skil. Haven't read much about it.

Haven't found any good videos of it, in action.

Here's 3 bad reviews on Amazon. But there seem to always be a few, on every brand. I reckin there are a few duds in any large batch of cordless saws.

Lowes only has the good reviews. The saw only came out last year. So there are not many reviews to read.

Saw some good videos about 40v Greenworks. Then saw a video where one quit.

Don't know about the WEN warranty. A brand new saw is only about $80. Most bare saws are at least $150. Many are $200 or more. The WEN batts are also about $80. Lots of brands are $125 & UP, if they have 4 Ah or more. If you go ONLY by price, the WEN should be junk. BUT, they get good reviews & seemed to do OK in the videos.

If I spend more & don't get a really good one, I'll always wonder if the WEN is any good, or just junk.

I started looking closer at a Ryobi. It was said that they cut fast because of high chain speed. But, LOTS of guys posted about how much oil they leak. They say that Ryobi tells 'em they all leak & that they should drain the oil after every use. I definitely don't wanna have to do that. I don't mind a small leak. My little storage building has a wood floor. So a little oil will just help preserve the wood.
