    Interesting, watching that link led me to you tube videos of similar saws by DeWalt and Makita, then led me to finding 'flip saws'. WOW, check out the prices.

    I consider myself a tool junkie, but had no idea either genre existed.

    Not a joke. They are popular in Europe. Combo tools are not as well liked in the U.S.
    Woodworkers here like individual tools.
