Considering other saws I have, this is by far the most accurate and most solid to use. Although, perhaps not the lightest. I just love cutting posts and beams with it!

Used this to install 4x10 PT lagging for a 5' tall 80' long retaining wall. Probably close to 100 cuts in a day. Blade got a little gummy, but kept powering through. Cleaned blade, and back to almost new. not a throw away like some saws come with.

This is my first Big Foot Saw with the Skin Motor and my second 10-1/4" saw. I have an older Makita circular saw that weights noticeably more and is hard to use without both hands. The light weigh of this saw makes single handed operation possible when need be. The wormdrive doesn't bog down while cross cutting or ripping beams. My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner. Great saw.

Evidently in the time since the more critical reviews of this saw were written, the manufacturer has corrected the cosmetic flaws that existed with the earlier models.
The fit and finish and resultant usability of this saw are as good as any available on the market today.

This saw is heavier than the worm drive saws you might be used to. To use it one handed you need forearms like Popeye. That having been said, it is a wonderfully powerful saw, zipping through the hardest cuts you can throw at it. Knots in old wood and hidden nails do not even slow it down. You might get smoke and sparks, but that would be the only indication. No more having to roll 4x4 or 4x6 material to complete the cuts with your 7 1/4 inch saw, or finish the cut with a hand saw either. Big Foot does them in one pass. Another thing, and probably the most important in framing is that I can build a doubled rafter and cut it at 45 degrees or a lesser angle in one pass without having to follow up with the handsaw. If you are a builder you need this saw.

Big Foot Tools is a great company with excellent service. Dino provides top notch service. My first Big Foot was purchased over 20 years ago and it was still running strong and somehow disappeared over the last year. So I purchased the newer Big Foot model which is improved over the previous model in many ways. The Big Foot far surpasses what the Sawsquatch provides as it is lighter, more well-balanced, has a wider table, and comes with a much better Big Foot blade. The Sawsquatch comes with a POS Diablo 40 tooth blade that will wobble and if you are ripping, do a really bad job leaving the top side somewhat straight and the bottom cut really wavy; whereas a Big Foot blade, are best in the market for these larger beam saws! I ripped a bunch of headers down with the Big Foot & Big Foot blade in place and cut straight on both sides perfectly! The Big Foot also cuts at a 90 degree angle depth of 3-7/8" where the Sawsquatch cuts 3-5/8", both cut the same at a 45 at 2-3/4". Both saws are made in China; however, the Big Foot is assembled in the USA. Big Foot has is 5300rpm where Sawsquatch is 4700rpm, which may be the only thing the Sawsquatch might (apparently the lower RPMs are too cut through the material better) have over the Big Foot; however, I have had no bogging down problems with the Big Foot saw at the 5300 RPMs. They also both cut up to a 51° angle. You can buy an accessory for the Big Foot though in which you remove the table and add a 75° table which you cannot do with the Sawsquatch! You can purchase a 24" Big Foot rip guide to use with the Super Sawsquatch or the Big Foot.
