What do you call this? What does Harbor Freight call this?
 
What's the angle? grinder that has two small circular blades going
the opposite direction? Specifically, what does harbor freight call
their cheap one? I suddenly need one, I think, but can't get it
because I don't remember what it's called. Thanks.

(There used to be one advertised on late-night tv.)

You mean the Dual Saw with Billy Mays ?

I've not seen a dual blade grinder.

Local Costco here has them. Not sure of the name brand but it has the two
blades that counter each other - $130. They are saw blades and not wheels.

Never likely to see the "optional diamond blade" at HF.

Ditto on both counts.

Yeah, I think so.

I've not seen a dual blade grinder.


I guess anything with a 4 inch wheel looks like a grinder to me.

Thanks.

I guess not. I just looked at all their power tool / saws. Probalby
still under patent.

Oh well, for 100, I'll use a drill and a sabre saw. It was an excuse
to buy a new tool.

Thanks and thanks all.

They've had something called I think a "dual saw", not sure if you can
find it on their site now.

Try Sears for dual saw or similar.

Thanks to you and everyone. Yes, it seems to be called the *Omni*
dual saw, which might be important. Or maybe the name is changed^^^

If you don't say Omni, one of the hits is this:
http://www.stoorz.com/i/dual-saw?z=G...915Qodbn jjmw
which is 128 dollars with their on-line coupon**, plus who knows how
much shipping, when the cheapest prices for Billy Mays's product is
150. ^^^Wait! Another ad says this IS the same product, but they've
changed its name to the TwinCut Dual Saw, and they want 180.

Okay, I can't tell if it's the same thing as
http://www.ecrater.com/p/4783608/bil...sed-as-seen-on or
not, but at 130 or 150, I don't really need it.

**It says the coupon expires today. Yeah, right, lately they always
expire the day I look at them, and tomorrow they'll expire tomorrow,
right?

There's also this one
http://www.amazon.com/Omni-QuadForce.../dp/B003ZUYANK

120 dollars. Terrible picture, all kinds of extra words in the name,
no mention of As Seen on TV**. It all makes me nervous.

**Of course "As seen on TV" doesn't necessarily mean it's the product
one is looking for. There can be some cheap imitation that they
advertise on one channel of TV for 5 30-second spots, and then they're
not lying afaik.


A set of replacement blades here is 33 dollars and elsewhere 30.
