                          Very Nice! But the Clamping Lever…
                          The clamping lever is made of cheap plastic that can and will break at anytime. I don’t know if it is possible to insert and lock the saw blade without it but I will find out. Otherwise this is a beautiful product. I will keep it and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

                              Worked like a charm
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to update my dining room with some bead board under the chair rail. I needed a saw that could cut out holes for the outlets and also the panel around the window. This saw cut the bead board with ease and the project is looking great so far. Other brand options were much more expensive, and all my Ryobi tools do the job. For any DIY'r out there, these are great tools that will get the job done.
