Default TV saw...

....anyone checked-out that counter-rotating saw that's been hyped on TV?
Actually looks useful, *especially* if it's a good build...

I rank 'em right up there with Thompson's WaterUnSeal, Minwhacked
stains, Crapsman tools, CONgresscritters, and Nigerian investment
bankers.

A local TV station does "Does It Work?" segment weekly...they had a
couple of handyman/contractor types try it out a year or so ago I recall.

Worked well on metal; a siding guy liked it well enough he bought the
sample one from the reporterette to put in his truck...

Wood, not so much...the general contractor type was thumbs down.

So, from that I'd say would depend on the application as to whether it
would be useful or not...

I had one a few years ago...gave it to a friend who was dismantling a
couple of old cars to build a one out of three 1974 Duster 340. He
loved it, but it broke with maybe three or four hours of use. He
wasn't up for spending money on one.

They may have improved since then, of course.
