Can it get any uglier?

Their marketeers are probably telling the designers that they need to focus on those folks in their late teens and early 20's who are starting to buy their own power tools!

That is FUNNY! Thanks Ed, for the laugh.
I can't decide whether it a big, ugly caterpillar trying to injest a funky-looking saber saw or one trying to do something obscene to it. Can you imagine the laughs you'd get (aimed at you!) if you had one of those on your bench. Or, worse, if you were on a job and pulled one out of your toolbox -- you'd be buying afterwork beers for a long, long time!

Actually a pretty nice saw. Glad I got mine before the fixation with tennis shoes struck the designers. It looks like the curvy, multi colored, imbedded rubber look might be catching. My wife bought me a new stapler the other day that looks like it was designed by Hitachi.

Hmm, should make for a bargain price at a yard sale in a couple of years.

It is a penguin in a Darth Vader mask, at Carnival in Rio, getting humped by a drunken wasp, isn't it?

Same thing these people were thinking except these people still hold the UGLY title.

At least it would be difficult to lose in the shop.

He's sure not afraid of me. A little while ago he popped under the door, looked at me with a "You're *still* working on that?" look and then scurried off again. A one eyed iguana eating a jig saw should do the trick.

Had a buddy got blind one night drunk and wandered into a tattoo parlor for a couple few too many hours.
The result looked more or less like that jigsaw.

Somebody _really_ should send that description to the manufacturer!
Ether there will be an _immediate_ product re-design, or they'll pick it up as a marketing theme.
Maybe next they'll do a palm sander that looks like a flying turtle. People could nickname it 'Mothra'.

I looked at that thing and gasped.
I could only think of one thing.
Would I put my hand in such a thing?
And if I was stupid enough to do so, would I get any fingers back?

That's one of the things that gets me... it may very well be a an excellent saw.... but it's so damned hard to look at it in a serious light.

Looks like a kid's athletic shoe. At least it would be easy to spot your stolen jig saw.
