The product, in the report: 7 1/4” portable corded circular saw
Craftsman 7 1/4” portable corded circular saw model 172.10856
The saw would not shut off when the trigger switch was released. There were 2 occurrences with this. Once, I was able to set the saw on the ground and it kept running until I unplugged it. The second time, I was half way through a cut and had to yell for my wife to unplug it from the wall. I couldn’t let go or pull it out of the cut for fear of kickback. Fortunately she heard me, as I was outside and she was in the house.Very dangerous and I won’t use it anymore.

The product, in the report: Craftsman Evolv Circular Saw 18V cordless
I have a Craftsman evolv circular saw cordless 18V. I took it out of the box used it and it kicked out almost causing injury. On closer inspection I realized the saw runs backwards.
I took it too Sears and they agreed that it was a very dangerous condition. However they would not deal with it. They claimed they did not sell the product and I had to Call Craftsman directly.
