Thread: It's Yard Sale... And Decision Time!!

So, it's that time of year! The community garage/yard sale is this weekend. The wife is in full-on "tornado mode", blowing through the house like a whirlwind. Things that haven't been used in [insert moving target here] amount of time find themselves at the eye of the storm; aka the staging area known as the living room.

One of the few things of mine that I volunteered without being told to do so was a few tools that were part of a "lot" that I got from the local auction house for pretty cheap. I mean, cleared half a table for $2-$4 cheap! Anyway......

Because of that lot, I have redundant circular saws. Having never owned a circular saw before, and these both being halfway to vintage, I could really use some help deciding which one to put out on the table for, I dunno... $20, O.B.O.?? And yes, they both work. I replaced the plugs on any of these tools that needed it, then tested all of them.

Details are in the pics below.

K-Mart saw.








Black and Decker saw.








I think they can both take a rabbit/guide thingy, but came with no such straight line cutting aide. I wonder when they were made? No obvious dates on them, that I could find.

So what do you think?

I look forward to your thoughtful responses!
