Bob Vila was pushing that
for Sears 4 or 5 years ago.
Here's their current version....

I looked at one of these in Sears a while ago. It had that cheap feel of a Harbor Freight tool so i didn't buy it.

I buy everything Billy Mays trys to sell on TV. The one I like best is the Dewalt 18volt drill lookalike with the dirt auger, only $19.95.

I actually bought the impact gels for my work boots. I have to say, they work great. If the blades were more readily available for the saw I'd give it a shot.

Do you have one? How do you know it's got a sh**ty motor? I'm thinking about buying one just to use for cutting cast iron tubs in place to make removal easier. I'm concerned with how long the blades will last and how long it would take to cut a tub up?

I had no idea this type of saw had been on the market for 5 years. I am a little surprised by that.
I am not much for buying anything off tv since I bought my dad a set of the one-size-fits-all wrenches many years ago. Even got a chitty set of screwdrivers for free!
I think I will wait until someone comes out with something that might hold up. I'm thinking if someone could, they already would have. Like was mentioned, I can't see the blades holding up. I like the concept though.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

I just watched the ad on its website. For some reason I got a picture of homeowners bleeding and missing body parts all over the country.
