Overview
The SKIL 5280-01 is a saw weighing 8.7 pounds, sold under Skil's corded tool lineup. No blade size, power rating, or cut depth is listed in this catalog entry.
At 8.7 pounds this sits in the weight range typical of a corded circular saw meant for regular jobsite use rather than a lightweight trim saw. The listing omits blade diameter, amperage, and bevel range, so anyone matching this tool to a specific cutting job should confirm those figures through Skil's documentation before buying.
- 8.7 pound weight
- 4.7 average rating
- Over 14,300 ratings on record
- About 3,000 purchases in the past month
Who it's for
Suits buyers comfortable choosing based on brand and weight class who will verify blade size and power separately. Not the right pick for someone who needs cut depth or bevel range confirmed upfront.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Weight consistent with a standard duty corded saw

Performance notes
The 8.7 pound weight places it in the range of a standard corded circular saw, heavy enough for sustained use but not among the bulkier worm-drive models. No power, speed, or blade specifications are included in this listing to characterize cutting performance further.
