Clarke Power Products Crocodile Saw
ToolSnob.com: "Clarke Power Products has recently released something called the Crocodile Saw, which, at first glance, looks like a hybrid between a grinder and those great little trim saws that Makita and Porter-Cable make. The hook on the Croc is that it has the ability to handle wood, tile, stone, and metal."

From the pictures it looks like it might be useful, but after reading it sounds like it might be a little hard to use, and requires some training to be able to use it efficiently. This might be useful for small, strait cuts. where something is already installed, but for a shop tool it doesn't look practical.
Fail. It seems like someone designed a really great tool, and then the safety police came in and added a side order of suck. When the safety devices make it more dangerous, wtf? When you can only do one cut and the grind wheel is gone, wtf? When the bag has more spaces than available accessories, wtf?
Agreed on giving it a Fail. It reminds me of the rotozip. I made the mistake of buying one and regretted it horribly.
Wow. I was really excited when I saw the post, but then the article happened. It looks pretty nifty, but i wouldn't want to spent money on something that looks useful and isn't even half as useful as it looks. I also agree: [deep announcer voice] epic fail...
a duffel for just one tool? Seems odd. Given the size I would want to just put it in my own gig bag, but I guess that's the least of the tools problems.
Yeah i agree with you there Alex. I was hoping that there was more to it than just a really small circular saw with too much protection for its own good. Looking at the photo, there actually seems to be a lot of safety issues, just because of the requirements on using the saw. For example to odd placement of your hand, having both hands on the saw and none on the piece. Seems like you are asking for trouble there.
