  • In this video, I restored a rusty Skilsaw into a collector's item that you can win! The journey of this restoration began a few months ago when I was approached by SKIL Europe. In celebration of their 100th anniversary in March of this year, they requested that I restore a tool for them. They presented me with several old tools from their storage, and I chose to restore a circular saw. This choice was inspired by the fact that the story of SKIL began 100 years ago with the invention of the circular saw. For those interested in its history, I’ll include a link to the SKIL Europe website: www.skileurope.com/uk/history.
    The restoration process was challenging, involving numerous parts to refurbish. Some parts were missing and required me to fabricate new ones. The pressure was significant, as the restored tool needed to be sent back to SKIL Europe for presentation. This circular saw will be showcased at the EISENWARENMESSE - INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR 2024, which takes place from March 3-6, 2024, in Cologne, Germany. If you're interested in seeing this Skilsaw or visiting their booth, I encourage you to do so.
    The stakes of the restoration were high, as SKIL plans to gift this tool to a lucky winner, necessitating a flawless finish. For those interested in entering the giveaway and signing up for their newsletter, here’s the link: winwithskil.com/100y/.
    That's all for today dear viewers , I hope you enjoy this restoration video ! Cheers , David !

    I switched all of my tools over to SKIL, got away from Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee. As a DIY homeowner I have found their tools to be reasonably priced and durable. Their Table saw is awesome, impact drill, sawzall, circular saw miter saw, have gotten praise from my friends who actually do carpentry for a living.
    Just my honest opinion as a DIY homeowner.
