SKIL Power Tools is proud to offer the next generation of SKILSAW with the new HD5687. This new circular saw takes its heritage from the Worm Drive SKILSAW and offers the ultimate combination of unmatched performance, lightweight design and unbeatable value and is designed to tackle any project on the jobsite. With a high power motor and enhanced functionality, this SKILSAW has the cutting capacity to help carpenters and contractors take on the toughest projects at a more affordable price point.
A superior power-to-weight ratio separates the new HD5687 Skilsaw from other circular saws in its class by engineering a 15 amp, saw with all ball bearing motor, without the added weight. SKIL has also taken the Worm Drive SKILSAW handle design preferred by professionals on the jobsite and incorporated them into this saw, making it more comfortable for users. The HD5687 Skilsaw is a clear cut choice for those cost-conscious users who want to get the job done without sacrificing power and performance.
The HD5687 Skilsaw features a 51-degree bevel capacity to allow for a wider range of cutting angles, ideal for making an angled rough cut while framing a roof or creating a clean corner joint on a baseboard. Additional features include a professional 20 Amp AC-DC switch, patented anti-snag lower guard, rear view depth adjustment, stamped steel foot plate, spindle lock and eight foot cord. The saw comes ready to go with a 24-tooth carbide tipped construction blade.
Available at Lowe's and professional supply houses, the new HD5687 Skilsaw has a retail price of $89. As part of a new partnership, Lowe's now offers the most extensive selection of SKIL tools of any one retailer.
