No, it was called "the saw that built the west" This was the only saw rough carpenters on the west coast used fir decades. Fir some reason, eastern states used the cludgy durect drive (blade on right) style saws…

Great price for a legendary tool. Some call it "the saw that built America".
However, the world went cordless and never looked back.

SKIL sadly went the way of many other toolmakers when they shifted manufacturing of this formerly awesome saw to China. Save money (and frustration)...pickup a used "made in USA" 77 on ebay.

Like SPF and Doug Fir or any reason you're speaking for with an "i" ?

Had one built in the 70's for decades. Finally sold due to the weight.

If youre doing some smaller concrete work - yes. Careful of rebar... Or, think about large concrete saw or rent one. Have used both and a large concrete saw makes life easier and much faster. And typically they have a vacuum attachment port.

7 " diamond blade

In case anyone is considering it as a DIY or weekend carpenter, a worm drive is absolute overkill for any DIY project.

Yes, but at $118 this is not much more than a very good quality sidewinder and is better in just about every way: easier to guide, straighter cuts, safer hand position, better torque for hardwoods, etc.

I have the magnesium version and it's my primary saw for everything. I have a sidewinder mounted on a Kreg jig for ripping down panels that are too big or flimsy for my jobsite tablesaw, but I can get an equally straight cut with my worm drive doing freehand as long as I can reach it.

At this price, I would 100% recommend this saw over a standard sidewinder if you don't already have a power saw; provided you are primarily cutting on a bench/ground as it does get pretty heavy for repeated vertical and overhead cuts.

If you're cutting anything more than grooves in existing concrete, either rent a dedicated concrete saw for the day or buy one specifically for the task if you're going to do it frequently. SKIL has a 10-1/2" version of this saw for concrete but it's pricey.

If you don't enjoy sawdust getting sprayed across your face and clothes, stick with a sidewinder.

I'd spring for the SKILSAW SPT79-00 for the integrated water feed & dust vacuum port alone. It's a much better option if you're going to be cutting concrete:
