Default This is freakin cool

Not only is this cool, but I was at the studio one of the days they were filming this and got to watch them cut the car in half. It really does do everything it shows in the commercial. Any of you guys who are chopping cars or just want a kickass saw, this is the one. Kind of pricey compared to other saws but its awesome.

Geeze I get too much of those clowns on TV and now they are on the forum. Sears has been selling this type saw for some time. Very cool saw.

Hmmm...I do a lot of small steel parts cuts that I use a portaband for, that thing might be just the ticket.
Very Cool

That's Billy Mays. I think he's the antichrist! You can't buy anything he's not involved with.

So.......how many easy payments of $39.95 (plus shipping and handling) is the Dual Saw? Will they waive one payment if I order in the next ten minutes?

Actually, when I had a sign company the franchisor recommended a little Makita 9.6v power saw that was a complete waste of money. That counter rotating saw, if it could be run by a reasonable sized inverter, would have been a real blessing on job sites to trim large plastic sign faces for final fit into a cabinet. I wonder why they keep stressing that it can make straight cuts? Isn't that an operator issue? Any power saw can make a straight cut with a proper fence setup or a steady hand.

Billy Mays is the man. I bought one of those "Pops-A-Dent" jobbies from one of his informercials and the damn thing actually works on reasonably shallow dents that don't have severe metal stretching (if the metal is stretched you wind up with bumps where the dents were).

Hey, $19.95 and it's made in Germany! My adult son is intrigued by the ShamWOW. He wants to make a ShamWOW suit. He keeps saying something about wearing it to wash his cars in. We were at the S.F. International Car Show and there was a pitch man there selling ShamWOWs. When we walked up the guy was doing that carpet/coke demo and my son was completely entranced. I had to drag the big guy away. He was reaching for his wallet (which I've never seen happen before when I'm around).

If I was on fire, and that guy was selling water, I would burn to death. He irritates the crap out of me.
