Skil5050 Circular Saw Replacement Carbon Brush, Holder & Spring Set of 2 # 2610993156

Easy installation and worked great. Fits in a Skilsaw 5250.

My Skil 5275-05 saw had burnt through its brushes and the white plastic brush carriers. I tried this set as exact replacements seem impossible to locate or are overpriced. These drop-in fit, but a spacer is needed to hold them in place. I used 2 pieces of thick rubber fuel line to hold these brushes in place. Works like a champ!

The original brushes died in a very short time. I hope this set lasts longer. When you go to change them look at the base where they go. The original set got so hot they left material behind that had to be removed to allow the new set to seat properly. The quick change cartridge runs the cost up and melts leaving debris behind which takes time to remove. Higher cost bad design. To be fair about the same time this saw needed service I had to use my cheap import and the brushes went on it. I pulled them out cleaned them and stretched the springs and put it back together. Runs like new. I paid extra for a American made Skill saw and its nice to look at and probably better made in some ways but the brush system is a issue. Designed to fail and sell overpriced parts.

I received one pair 3 Oct. 2020, and installed but both were burned as attached first picture, then the seller resent me one pair after I reported its problem.I installed them carefully again , and check their position and rotated manually for judging smoothness , now my circular saw runs well. It proved my first installation might be not fitted well,.Thanks to the seller

Take out 2 screws replace brushes; replace the 2 screws you took out and you are back in business. Very easy simple fix. New brushes worked like charm.
