I caught a thread on rec.woodworking, and apparently a lot of people

should know better don't know how to use a circular saw, and/or just
don't
get the concept..
A very sophisticated mechanism, that accomplishes.... what????

What thread was that? Post a link, please.

I'm curious who on the rec doesn't know how to use a circular saw.
Please provide the link, or tell me the thread's subject line.
Thanks.



What's inneresting to me is that this thing is bogus from *first
principles*, like effing perpetual motion -- altho at first blush it
does
show some promise..
But instead you get these big long voice-of-effing-reason
"""objective"""
posts/reviews, from assholes who just don't effing get it.

I *did* miss the obvious, however, these things are made with spit,
and
these companies are set up to sodomize you with your own credit card.
The motors are crap, and the blades DON'T last through steel, esp.
rebar,
bar stock -- not at 6,000 rpm with a 5" diameter.

Sears apparently made one years ago, discontinued it, brought it back
in
various forms.

But ultimately, this pos is just a 4.5" angle grinder, with a toothed
blade.
$19 from HF.
AND, just how useful is an angle grinder with a toothed blade? visavis
a
regular circular saw?

PV's Law:
ANYTHING on an infomercial is crap.
ANYTHING over-advertised (Geico, Progressive, freecreditreport.com,
Nautuilus TreadClimber) is crap. The money that should be infused into
the
product is instead spent on hype.
Really just the arithmetic of immutable economics.

The Little Giant Ladder and the Fein Multimaster were sold on

=============================

Uhhh, the..... PRICE???????? just as a start.....

infomercials, as was the Chia Pet. Please explain what sucks about
those items.

Your quoting skills are atrocious. You decorate and obfuscate instead
of just quoting like everyone else. Be that as it may...

=============================================

for some reason, your posts are not quotable. Which is proly just as well.
---------------------------

You said all stuff on infomercials was crap - fine, you don't like the
price of those products, but what's wrong with them?
==============================================

Bang fer yer buck that is 1/10 the bang/buck of "traditional" tools = crap
and/or ripoff.

Bang fer yer buck = performance divided by $$.
Either low perf or excessively high $$ = crap and/or ripoff.

No one else seems to have the problem - just as well.

I see there's no link to that thread you mentioned, so I'll assume
that the BS about people on the REC not knowing how to use a circular
saw is just you blowing smoke.
=========================================

Dude, take a 'lude, and do a search like I did. HTF do I know the exact
thread? google is a fukn mess.
It may not have been rec.woodworking... coulda been alt. or whatever.
goodgawd....
--------------------------------------



I bought both the Little Giant ladder and the Fein Mulitmaster before
their patents ran out when there were no comparable tools. I did not
buy them from infomercials. The Little Giant I picked up at a trade
show, and the Fein was bought used. Both are anything but crap and I
would have liked to have had both years earlier. They would have
saved me both time and money in the long run. Now that the patents
have run out there are competing products, and you can get into
similar tools for less money. As far as I have seen, none of the
competing products have the same quality. You aren't willing to pay
for the quality - that's not my concern.
======================================

Sounds to me like you are very happy "buying the price" -- more power to
you.
But, I'm happy that you're happy.
I'm even happier that we are not neighbors. goodgawd.....
