New CS5 circ saw is ideal for demanding framers, roofers and deck builders!
Mount Prospect, Ill., February 13, 2008 - For pro users seeking the clear line-of-sight of an in-line design circular saw and the maneuverability and value of a sidewinder, the new CS5 Left-Blade Circular Saw from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories is the perfect choice.
