That's the same one I got. Havn't used it much since I switched careers right after I got it, but it's pretty nice.

Really wanted the pimp Bosch one with the built in rafter hook, but couldn't justify the price (was already planning on the new career).

I currently don't own a sawzall but one of my fondest memories was cutting a hole in the side of a house to install a door. From that moment on I realized how useless door locks were.

It is... But the battery renders it a toy. I work in commercial buildings and always have power.....
The DeWalt battery powered skillsaw is equally as kick ass... esp when working on soffits and facias.


And no jobsite is complete with out one of these....

Very true, when working overhead, or hanging off the edge of a roof, theres nothing like a lightweight cordless tool. As long as you don't need to make too many cuts. Otherwise you burn through batteries too quick.

Cordless tools are the only way to go if your doing minor repair/warranty/adjustment work. Saves so much time compared to rolling out then rolling up cords.

Pffft. Takes too long. Plasma arc it. :cool:
You do realize that dragging a plasma cutter big enough to cut train rails all the way out to where the rails are is kind of a pain in the ass right?

I'm looking for portability in sabatoge.

I just went outside with my new ryobi sawzall and circular saw (both battery powered) and chopped up an old chair.

I love life.

Been building a lot of jumps lately and it's been seeing a lot of use.
This is the entry portercable saw, I think it was about $70, and it's oh-so awesome.
Hands down the coolest on ever:

We carry these at the store I work at and damn! The thing can rotate to every angle imaginable, it's incredible.

I used mine to tear up my bathroom floor on Monday, because the pipes decided to let go, and leak from the top floor to the basement. I can think of better ways to wake up on my days off, but it was pretty fun too. I saw the $170 kit at Home Depot and just couldn't pass it up. I hardly ever use tools, but like to have them, just in case.

The ability to change the angle of attack rocks. Thing is plenty of powerful. It can cut a f'n I beam?? I trim kindorf beams installed with it. The ability to pull down with it above you is so handy. Makes using it on a ladder so much safer. I can use it one handed if needed.

So you bought some whimpy tools on sale at home depot and now you're masking your regret by making fun of the poor slob that called you on it. Oooh a big bad chair... Just sad. I expected more from a Bears fan. Just sad.....
