Downside??? You have to be willing to hold and use the tool properly.
Anything less does not result in a "downside".

That is why they have that flexible foot on them, to press up against
the work being cut. Sounds like somebody was trying to reach too far.
Like any power cutting tool, you gotta plan your cut before you pull the
trigger. No saw works well to cut the end off a spring hanging in
mid-air. That is why those tree-pruning saws on the long poles are of
such limited usefulness, other than right up by the trunk or a thick
main branch.


Any CSI fans will know that seems to be their tool of choice. Usually for
cutting plasterboard to reveal the dead body behind. But never with the
foot up against the board.

Strange their walls never seem to have studs...
