It worrying that some circular saws can lock the switch on, so if you
have to drop it because of a graceful fall off the ladder, it doesn't
stop the motor itself.
For some time, circular saws have been required to have switches that do
not *lock on*.

Right, that must be why I got my nice Black and Decker at half price from a
shed.
