The new worm drive family includes three saws: the SKILSAW SHD77-02, the SKILSAW SHD77M-02 and the SKILSAW MAG77LT. Each is designed to achieve different cutting applications.

The main feature of the new SKILSAWs is their reduced weight. Each saw is lighter than its predecessor. The new saws also feature a multi-function wrench that stores on the saw foot for convenience, a Cut-Ready Depth of Cut System for quick and easy adjustment and a 24-tooth carbide blade.
