I'm sure they will be happy to take your money. :)  Doesn't look like the product has much of a following.

Might be ok if you are making parts once in a while for your model railroad, or are a building super and need to fix something small on location.  The stability and power required for anything remotely serious, just isn't there.  Got suckered into the Craftsman cordless tool collection similar to this.  The circular saw gets about 3-4 cuts through a 3/4" board before the battery poops out.

Better to buy a 10" tablesaw and a small collection of cheap power tools from HF.  It'll take a bit more space, but it won't cost much more and will have the power to do the things most will want to do.

Have to agree with Randy -- and for the $600 - $650 price tag you could get a pretty good assortment of higher quality tools that would do the jobs much better !

Hmm, I see your points. It's on the pricy side for sure, but makes sence for a small hobbiest who wouldn't have much more then an apartment balcony. It is designed in the UK as well, it was even featured on their dragons den show a few years ago.

Interestingly Neph, you're not far off. Our dollar just hit an 11 year low compared to the U.S. buck.  Things are cheap up here now guys, so we'll gladly take your money :)

I remember buying a customized Red Wings jersey for my brother from River City Sports in Ontario and paying $50USD SHIPPED from there to AZ.

$50 SHIPPED from Canada, with my brother's last name and favorite number (sewn, not ironed on) on it? Someone indeed got hosed, but it wasn't this Metsican!

Red Wings huh? Looks like everyone got hosed on that deal.  :duckhunt
Considering they've won more Cups since the 90s started than, oh, the Flames, for example,  my brother was more than chuffed.

Then again, what do I know, I'm a Coyotes fan who would bang Elisha Cuthbert.

You just said favorite number.  You could have been refering to your bro in laws favorite players number.  I also speak English quite well.  Enough to know how to spell Mexican.  And didn't Elisha Cuthbert give half the team Herps or some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---?

It's actually at 3.7 out of 5 stars, which isn't exactly terrible...

Assuming all those 5 star reviews are legit... some of them probably aren't...

Elisha Cuthbert is a 'definitely bang'. Why is this a debate? You know you wouldn't kick her out of bed.
