Default 3 1/2" circular saws

I am intrigued by the little 3 1/2 hand-held circular saws by Dremel and
Wockwell. Anybody have one? Rockwell offers a 1"+ a hair depth of cut.
I think Dremel is 3/4". Would have been handy on a recent job. BTW,
I went to HD and learned they don't carry Rockwell. Wonder why.

Just a contract thing. Nobody carries every brand of anything.

I have a neighbor that has the Rockwell, he complained that it was slow
and left a pretty rough cut, lots of tear out.

As for HD not carrying Rockwell, that is incorrect. Perhaps your
particular store does not carry Rockwell but the ones I go to do.

I did not think HD carried Rockwell at all - and hell, I used to work there!
Shows to go ya, I guess.. So - I went to the web site and sure enough, it
looks like they carry some Rockwell stuff, but it does not look to be a
complete line at all.

And oddly I recall seeing the Versacut saw at Christmas at my local HD.
