I have a Milwaukee and I really like it. It has the quick release feature on the blade chuck which kicks @ss. They all probably have that feature now but man, it sure beats fumbling around with an allen wrench to change blades.

 

I bought a 10 amp Milwaukee on Amazon.com for $129.00 with free shipping and no sales tax.


I really used that Mikita hard. I'm not real surprised it died. I know what to do now so the gears don't get destroyed.

I'll pick up some of those "tourch" blades and whack off the extra on the Old Man Emu U-Bolts.

 

I think Porter Cable calls it a "Tiger Saw"

 

Sounds like a good tool.

The saw is important, but good blades make a difference as well. Stick with Milwaukee on the blades too.
