Thank you for taking the time to bring this review to our attention.

Last year I purchased a 5007Mg Circular Saw, used it for three days and put it back in the case where it stayed till yesterday. I took it back out of the box plugged it in, the light came on, but when I pulled the trigger nothing happened. I found that the warranty was out on the tool, so I took it apart to find out what the trouble was and found out that the trigger switch would not work. Being Sunday I got no answer from Makita, but I did order a new switch and got back an email this morning that it was being sent.

This morning I called to complain about the fact that I bought what I thought was the best saw I could buy and paid premium price for it, only to use it three days and now have to buy a new trigger switch for it and spend another $20.53 for it plus have to wait however many days to go back to work on my project to get the new switch.

I never paid so much money for a circular saw in my life and I'm 70 years old and have used them since I was six. I never had a trigger switch go out on any of them and they were much cheaper. I buy what is supposed to be the best and the trigger switch goes bad after three days use, Ridiculous!
