It's more dangerous, because it usually means one hand on the work piece, and only one on the saw. 2 hands always better than one when using a circ. Does the average guy have that luxury? Not until...

It's not dangerous if done properly, or certainly no more dangerous than cutting with a side drive skilsaw.

What I've noticed is this type of saw is often used in a vertical manner - what I mean is the user props lumber up across his foot or something on ground and holds this vertically, cutting downwards...

I just feel like it's a huge downside having to use two hands, especially since I cut across a lot of just 2x4

I don't have this model but a vintage larger worm drive Skilsaw, a huge aluminum sucker. I like the higher torque and it seems more stable. Maybe it's because you're pushing from behind the blade, as...

I've owned this saw for many years (and paid quite a bit more for it, around $180-190) and I would never want another corded circular saw.
First allow me to explain why this would be better than a...

The gears/gearbox are quality. Metallurgy is high quality. Parts are serviceable. Top notch quality. For those who use this every other second of their day, it makes a big difference.

Worm drives are really just for framers. Unless you are framing homes then the cost weight isn't really worth it. That's why these things have a rafter hook.
