Description of Skil HD5510 6.5 Amp 5-1/2-Inch Circular Saw

It?s an amazingly light 6-1/2 pounds, and quite honestly, it feels like a toy when you first pick it up. But don?t be fooled by its petite dimensions. It plows across a 2-by-8 like nobody?s business, and if you?re used to a bigger, heavier circular saw, you can?t help but be delighted by how beautifully it handles. Taking it through a ¾-inch sheet is a joyride.

The left-side blade is perfect for right-handers, offering a nice clear sightline, and all the adjustments are convenient and easy to use. The bevel lever is up front, and the action is smooth and easy to set precisely. Depth of cut adjusts from the back, and that, too, is done easily.

If there are any caveats, we think it would be only that your capacity is slightly less with this little Skil as opposed to a bigger model, in that you can?t cut a 45-degree bevel on 2-by stock with this, and you?re at your max depth of cut at 90 degrees on a 2-by.

For everything else, this is an absolute beauty of a saw that will never tax your back, your shoulder or your arm. Contractors who find themselves climbing ladders or working on scaffolds will especially love this saw, as well as homeowners who don?t feel confident taking on a beefy saw but still want to get the job done. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
