Get More MAG and Less Weight with SKIL's New MAG77LT Worm Drive SKILSAW®

MT. PROSPECT, ILL. – Who else but SKIL could invent the world's lightest worm drive saw? The new SKIL MAG77LT weighs in 4 lbs. lighter than the standard worm drive saw* but offers the same power and durability consumers have come to expect from their SKILSAW.

"The SKILSAW has an unparalleled reputation among the contractor community. The only request we've heard from tradesmen is to make the worm drive lighter," said Gregg Mangialardi, Group Product Manager, SKILSAWS "SKIL's new MAG77LT is the answer to this request – we've delivered a tool that is 4 lbs. lighter than the industry standard without compromising the power and durability of the worm drive SKILSAW."

The world's lightest worm drive saw has seen several other improvements as well, making it the ideal saw for residential and commercial framers and remodelers. The MAG77LT comes with a 53o bevel with a positive stop at 45o for increased bevel capability. The foot conveniently stores a multi-function wrench which is used for the oil plug, brush cap, adjusting DOC / Bevel nuts and removing the blade diamond knock-outs. Equipped with the Cut Ready Depth of Cut SystemTM for quick and easy depth of cut adjustment and a 24-tooth carbine blade for exceptional impact resistance – the MAG77LT delivers on the promise of More MAG. Less Weight.™

The new tool arrives on the heels of the 75th anniversary of the legendary Worm Drive SKILSAW. This summer, SKIL Tools is celebrating the launch of the MAG77LT by hitting the road and touring the SKILSAW Custom Chopper through numerous cities in the US and Canada. Created in partnership with Paul Jr. Designs, the custom-built chopper was built to commemorate the 75th anniversary milestone in 2012.
