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.
