I took some scrap metal to the dump today and noticed a red handle out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough, it was a Skil Mag 77. Looking closer, the saw was nearly new with a sharp carbide blade in it, but the cord was slashed. Of course I took it home, and with the installation of an $8 replacement plug (took 10 minutes), I had a perfectly good and fully functioning Skilsaw. I work in heavy civil construction and I see my fair share of waste due to the fact that time is money - lots of money, but does it say something about our society when someone will choose to replace a $200 saw with a new one because $8 and 10 minutes stand in the way?
