Got an email this morning about this. Watched the video. Pretty neat battery powered tools that become drill press, table saw, & jig saw. Anyone here have one or knowledge of one?

Here's the video showing what all it does.

Seems a battery charger & spare battery would be good to have included.

Back about 15 years ago I had a Ryobi set up, 18 volt but not the high tech batteries, reciprocating saw, drill, 4.5 or 5" circle saw, compound miter saw, roto zip, handy with the roto zip, circle and miter saw IF the blades were sharp, drill worked like any cordless. Reciprocating saw was junk. Had its limitations. I would not base my shop around it. Used it on the job, the circle saw being small was handy in tight areas. It came with 2 or 3 batteries. With that said it was Ryobi junk to begin with, I am sure these new batteries and a higher quality manufacture would be more suitable.

With almost $700, you can get the brand new Festool track saw. I would go with that.
