For twenty years I used the same worm drive skil with a diamond blade to cut block and on occasion veneer flagstone. They have the torque required. Regular circular saws would burn up pretty quick. The skil still runs great despite all the dust it ate. Same with a 4” Makita grinder. Used it so much in masonry that when I go to cut wood with a regular circular saw feels it awkward to me.
