If you are talking to me then, no, I didn't see your reply.

I am confused Steve, are you saying that your FD has the dual blade
saw and uses it regularly? If so, how does it hold up?

Thanks

Joe

Holds up just fine. When we have used it during training it gets used a
LOT more than on a typical call. We will cut the entire roof off, do a
floor access cut, cut through the doors, cut through hoods, Whatever
might come up as a possible use on a call. For actual MVAs we have used
it maybe 10 times. We don't get a lot of calls where you need to cut for
access usually.
For the most part it does as well or better than the normal tools we
would use and it's a LOT faster.
For glass it will cut a LOT faster than something like a glass-master
tool will. With sheet metal and things like A-B-C pillars it is a lot
easier to work with and as fast as the jaws.
We have two of them, one is a newer Craftsman unit with the larger motor
and the other is one of the Duo-Saw units. Both work well as long as you
don't try to overpower the tools. Just like the rest of the gear we use.
