A great tool, although it's a bit noisy. OTOH I do have trouble with the blades; the ones I have found so far are a bit like the 'toy' hand held circular saw blades used to be and get hot and blunt annoyingly fast.
 
wow! thank you guys. Not in a million years would have found that name...this is great!!!
