Default Omni Dual Saw - Is it any good?

Well, let's see

Three easy payments of $59.99 - comes to 3 cents shy of $180
so let's call it $180 even.

Then there's the $39.99 S&H which we'll round up to an even $40
to keep the math easier.

So the "In You Hands Price Tag is "only" $220.

You can get a pretty nice "regular" circular saw - that
will produce nice finished cuts - or deal with 2x4s and
4x4s - for that kind of money - and a well known
brand name - with an established reputation - for
that kind of money.

Anyone here planning on using a hand held circular saw - which
doesn't have a "table"/"foot" - but comes with an edge guide (?)
- and "lubricating sticks" - to - cut through nails - or steel pipe?

And when you're trying to get someone to believe that the
finish of its cut in wood is "craftsman like" - don't provide
the close up of the cut - that looks far from "craftsman like".

I couldn't find any info on the blade diameter or the max
thickness it can cut - something I WANT TO KNOW before
I'd fork over $220.

I'm going to pass on this one - too much hype and not enough
actual information.
