Where did you buy it?


A lad at work brought about half a dozen in along with a radial arm
chop-saw that had a laser indicator for the blade. Loads of teeth in
the blade too. He wanted £170 or so for that.

I could have my money back I suppose but I cooked 2 batteries on the
cheapo 18v I already have. I find it is the charger that gives the
trouble with these cheap tools. (I walked into the house I was
charging the battery at and thought "Bloody hell what is that painter
using?") (Meanwhile the painter was thinking: "What has that joiner
been cutting?")

If I didn't have a pretty good chopsaw I seldom use, I'd snatch up the
other at that price. Fiddling with the work-piece to get the pencil
line at the cut, doubles the time spent on an ordinary chop-saw.
