Hmmm... brings back memories. Ever had a plaster-of-paris cast, the kind
they used forever? I was shocked when it came time to remove mine, and the
horrifying saw they came at me with turned out to be strictly vibratory
rather than skilsawish in nature. Kinda makes you wonder what took them so
long to adapt the same technology to multi-tools.
