Anything Saw Link

I saw this on tv the other day. Thought it warranted checking it out. I got one ordered. Unless someone else has checked this out already and posted a review, I'll let you know what I think when I get mine in 3 to 5 weeks.

Interesting, but no closups, so I'm hoping it's not "As Seen on TV" cheap...

hope you have a good experience because that could be handy if it works as claimed and doesn't break apart with some real work. Seems like a safer alternative for young ones too...

Thanks for the link.

I seem to recall something similiar that was also a carbide blade, but it went into a saber saw. I heard that they didn't like tension from the side, or changes in density, but it was a while ago.

I saw that commercial a few days ago myself and was intrigued.

Let us know how it works out!

Looking at it - it's a Remgrit blade in a typical folding saw - there are a LOT of blade holders that hold "sawsall" blades - just get a Remgrit blade

Hint - they are slow as heck on things like wood -- but yeah, they'll cut tile, metal, etc
