Corded circular saw ~17-20cm

Why We Chose It

If you're hunting for a saw that slices through wood like gossip through a small town, look no further. The SKIL 5280-01 is the unsung hero of the power tool world. With a 15-amp motor that could power a small spaceship, this saw outperforms its predecessor, the SKIL 5680, by a country mile. It's lighter too, so your biceps won't hate you after a day of DIY. The single beam laser guide is there to ensure your cuts are straighter than your uncle's infamous tales at Thanksgiving. And let's not forget the carrying bag, because who doesn't want to look like they're off to a construction site fashion show? With a 51-degree bevel, you'll be making angled cuts that would impress even the most discerning beaver.

What It Does

• Slices wood like a deli meats slicer.
• Loses weight, unlike you post-holidays.
• Laser guide: because measuring tapes are overrated.
• Comes with a bag: for those who love accessorizing.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't brew coffee; it's not that versatile.
• Doesn't come with a carpenter's diploma.
• Not ideal for cutting through marital disputes.
• Won't reduce your wood allergy symptoms.

Tech Specs

• 15-amp motor: it’s the Hulk of saw motors.
• Weight cut by 15%: saw's on a diet.
• Laser guide: for when your eyes aren't enough.
• 51-degree bevel: angling like a pro.

Who It's For

Meet Bob, the weekend warrior who thinks he's a mix between Bob Vila and Tim Taylor. His garage is his kingdom, and this saw is his Excalibur. Then there's Linda, the Pinterest addict, who needs this saw to transform all those virtual pins into reality. Lastly, we have Dave, the reluctant handyman. He doesn't want to build, but when he does, he wants a tool that won't betray him mid-project. This isn't just a saw; it's a lifeline for those who think they might just saw their own fingers off.
