SKIL 15 Amp 7-1/4 Inch Circular Saw with Single Beam Laser Guide - 5280-01

Great saw. I love the extras that my old Skil saw did not have. This company makes wonderful products. It does the work easily and is not too heavy.

Great saw, bought it for the laser guide, which makes more accurate cuts for us DIY folks. Carrying case OK, nothing fancy. For what I do, right price and right durability. More of a DIY saw.

I'm glad I bought this because my 30-year-old Skil worm-drive circular saw (that still works perfectly) had become too heavy for this aging DIYer. I'm in the middle of renovating my basement and bought it on an impulse because of the weight and price/value ($59). So far, it's much easier for me to handle. It's no frills, but a pleasure to work with, and it came with a quality blade. For $100-200 more, I could have bought a cordless saw, which would be very cool and probably safer (not having to manage a cord). However, I'm accustomed to corded saws, I'm always near a power source, and I'm already over budget on my project - so this saw works perfectly.

Great tool but it’s HEAVY. Plenty of power for fast accurate cuts. The laser works fine but it could be a little brighter for use in bright sun. Did I mention…… it’s HEAVY!

My normal circular saw is a SKIL 15 amp worm drive bought over 20 years ago and probably has thousands of hours of use. My need for a cost effective saw to stay at the vacation home presented the question "cost versus durability" for a low use tool. When comparing the options worm drive versus a standard circular saw the difference has always been cutting power. Circular saw price differences usually relate to the motor power/Amps. This SKIL has a 15 amp motor and a little weight making the rolling into a 2x4 cut fast and easy. The laser guide is a nice feature given my normal use with a worm drive. The laser offers a quick alignment on the line without moving to find the blade on the right side. Yes worm drives are the best for aligning on the line and using their weight to make the cut. Comparing this saw against other manufacturers showed SKIP 15 amp 7 1/4 circular saw as the best for the price and included a soft case. A storage case was a plus in the comparison against other brands.

This had everything we needed to cross cut 4x4 8ft beams. For a first timer like us, i liked the quality of product and laser feature was such a savior. Highly recommend it based on our few hours of wood cutting job.

this is also a very good buy, I shopped the local stores and they wanted over a 100.00 dollars for known products. i got this a very good price and it works very well. this work well for my home repairs. the red Lazer can be seen during the day light hours.

Nice as usual and does the job.

I’ve only used this a few times. My expensive dewalt circular saw broke after 5 years of light use and was battery powered. This saw is quite good for the $. It’s plug in so the power is consistent. Honestly it outperformed my Dewalt but maybe I didn’t use large enough batteries. The laser feature is nice. Works with the kreg rip cut jig too.

Se recibió lo que se estaña y como se esperaba,cierra de marca y buena calidad

Soy fan y usuario de otras marcas, pero al ver las características (disco de 7 1/4” y 5,300 RPMs, láser) y el precio, era difícil decir no. Llegó en la fecha indicada, tres días. La sierra llega bien empacada, caja original dentro de una caja de Amazon. La máquina llegó con un ligero golpe en el interruptor del led, y pensé en regresarla. Pero decidí quedármela para arreglar ese pequeño detalle que con el uso deberá pasar a segundo término, estéticamente nada mayor. Fué cosa sencilla de arreglar y quedó funcionando al 100% el interruptor. El láser rojo, venía algo desalineado y también fué sencillo ajustarlo (llave allen 3/32”). La potencia se escucha y siente al encenderla!! Se siente ligera porque trae alguna piezas de plástico, aunque la cubierta de la hoja es de metal. La sierra que viene incluida trae su protector de plástico, y su manual de usuario, todo en orden. Aún no la pruebo funcionalmente, esperamos hacerlo pronto. Recomiendo Comprarla!!!

Good machine but to buy in India one must know that it is not comatible with electrical standard in India so you gonna need step down transformer/ adapter

The lazer is dead on , perfect mobile saw for everyday house work (fence, base boards , deck, etc) For the price don’t think twice ….!
