There was a time I'd see them sold used all the time, there is only
one on the Seattle craigslist today.

I have a Delta miter saw, it was an impulse buy but a good one, I use
it a lot, it's way easier to get to than the table saw. The other day
I was thinking about getting a metal cutoff disk for it, anyone done
this before?
The sawzall is a great tool for both metal, wood and pallets (both
wood and metal), another metal tool I use a is the small air powered
cutoff wheel.
The sawzall and the compressor are two tools that I used enough that
I wonder what I did before I had them.
