Free shipping? And for $15? SO tempted! Anyone try it?

They used to advertize these on tv back in the 70s or 80s, other than that, I don't know much about the concept or how they hold up.

I would think the vibration would be fierce!

I've used one. That experience caused me to buy a jig saw.

Would that really work?

This thing looks like the brush cutter for my string trimmer! It scares me on the right machine, I don't think I'd put it on a saw.

Well maybe! I have a saw just like that, maybe it would work.

Intriguing concept, it is working on a spline concept which is great for cutting OD's, but suspect an ID cut would be pretty rough. At that price I can't imagine it would hold up that long. It seems like it may be handy for some rough carpentry work. If I did more of that, I may consider buying one.
