Broke down a month or two ago and bought their top of line multi-toolwith no clear reason why I needed it. It is the kind of tool that youfind good reasons for owning, as I have discovered several times sincepurchase.We are building a garden shed with a 1' overhang and hand-cutrafters. I started boxing in the eves today. When I sighted down thehorizontal row of rafters I noticed the dufis who cut them (me) hadone hanging about 1/2" lower than the others. Moreover it cut was atan angle. I could see myself standing on my head on the ladder tryingto cut it off with a hand saw. Then the light went on. Marked the cutline and ran the tools narrow wood blade into the side of the rafter afew times. In little more than one minute the wedge shaped chunk waslaying on the ground.Also used it to trim the sheet siding on one end where it overhung theadjoining side by about 1/4".Love it.RonB

Well Ron, I think I still have a few nails to bang before I check out. I have a home for those things.

Only time I go to Charbucks is when I am with somebody else and they insist on it. I find their coffees to taste burned, and their prices excessive for inferior product. Quite frankly, Dunkin'Donuts and even Mickey D's pour a better tasting cup. Pretentious yuppie twits.
