Default JCB circular saw

I would suggest that this saw from Argos(or any where else)be avoided.
I tried one-- it reminded me of the 1980's Skoda. Crude construction
and weak start-up. Other really stupid defects with the saw guide bar.
It was that bad that I did not bother testing it on a wood cut. The
other one that my selection of expensive blades would fit was the Worx
wb150cxl. To my supprise--the little laser light proved useful and it
has good power. Had I not considered the amount of waste of buying a
saw that my good blades would not fit I could have made a worst choice.

I had a JCB jigsaw, it lasted about two weeks! But so cheap it wasn't worth
the effort of taking it back...

I have a JCB sabre saw which I have abused beyond belief over the last 9
months and it still works an absolute treat. I'd recommend it.
