SS destrroys the blade when deployed?


And the brake mechanism, about $200 all in. OTOH, when you pull
your hand back, you'll be happy to reach into your wallet with it.

You'll do the same with the Bosch, except you'll be right back to work
after switching the brake firing mechanism around because it works
twice, instead of once. PLUS you won't be out a blade.


But as you well know the double use feature will create a false sense of
security. ;~) You know when when you have a flat tire and open the
trunk and realize that the spare is on the ground already. ;~)
The cartridge trips and no worries until you realize that you have
already performed the hot dog demonstration once before. ;~)

It is a cool feature of not damaging the blade but if that feature is
important to you, you have my nod to buy that particular saw to begin
with. It sounds like you already know you are going to need it.
