So now you're probably thinking that this is "production line overkill". Now for the sake of simplicity this article is only going to touch on "some" of the non cordless models in their inventory. Talk About a Light Wormdrive 7 1/4. They shed its weight, by converting to magnesium components.

While all the other tool makers have been trying to figure out how to lighten their "affordable" standard 7 1/4 wormdrives, Makita has beat them all to the punch with their amazing 13.2 pound Magnesium Hypoid saw.

Makita has a durable 5 inch model that packs a powerful 7.9 amp motor to slice right through brick, stone and concrete. Saws that run on AC electrical current out of a wall plug. After all, how many different types of saws are really needed. One of the most surprising aspects of the Makita circular saw, has to be just how many different types they produce. One very thoughtful safety feature on this handy unit that's of course used around water, is a GFI breaker that's permanently attached to the end of the plug.

I'm not being lazy either because would you believe that they list a total of 16 different types of saws in the AC category.
