Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, produced a hands-on review of this exact Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2732 saw. PTR scores it 9.4/10 and calls it one of the highest-performing cordless sidewinders available, winning a timed OSB rip test among more than a dozen competitors; heavy weight is the main tradeoff. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Top performer — won PTR's timed OSB rip test among more than a dozen cordless competitors; Natural, ergonomic handle with push-down trigger safety; Solid value with a full premium feature set (dust port, electric brake, magnesium shoe).
Flagged: One of the heaviest cordless options (12.6 lbs with the 12.0Ah battery); Upper blade guard obstructs the sightline on crosscuts and hangs slightly on bevels; Best full-depth cutting power only comes with the pricier XC6.0 Forge battery.
Only one whitelisted tester—Pro Tool Reviews—had accessible review prose for this exact model, naming the Skilsaw SPT77WML its best corded worm-drive circular saw for its 77-series 15-amp power and lightweight magnesium build. No other whitelisted source with accessible measurements was available, so no cross-source comparison exists. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Named Pro Tool Reviews' best corded worm drive circular saw; 77-series 15-amp motor delivers ample wood-cutting power; All-magnesium housing (motor, shoe, gear housing) keeps it lightweight (~11.5 lb without blade) for a worm drive.
Flagged: Premium price positioning ($199, or $219 for twist-lock cord).
