The worm-drive circular saw has remained relatively unchanged during its decades of production, but now there's a new version of the venerable classic. Cuz-D's Straight Flush looks a bit like a Skil 77, but its olive-drab paint, heft (14 lb.), and assorted levers and buttons make it appear more like a tactical weapon. In addition to being an all-around workhorse, this 81/2-in. saw is capable of cuts up to 31/8 in. deep and bevels from -5° to 65°. The front of the saw folds up to allow for a plunge or nose cut, and makes it easy for you to cut flush to vertical surfaces with a removable guard that exposes the inset arbor blade, resulting in true zero-clearance cuts. With the guard removed and the front of the base tilted up for nose cutting, the Straight Flush looks dangerous, but it does its job very well. It's fast, efficient, and leaves a very clean cut.
