There are definitely some good ideas there. If I ever decide I need a RAS or cutoff saw of some sort I'll give that a look.

There have been similar tools sold in the UK and other parts of Europe for over 20 years. The liability laws in the USA have kept them out of our hands. Heck, even DeWalt has one.

My power tool battery broke. How to choose a new one? What are the important things to consider when purchasing to ensure it is good and lasts a long time?
