To me these tools are the best on the market....power is phenomenal! one of the great things about it is the safety factor... if you look at alot of these other brands to use the tool they have a twist handle or throttle type... so in turn if your hand gets pinned somewhere it shouldnt be it could possibly keep power on the tool and i would gaurantee that your hand is gonna give out before that metal does. Ive also seen these cut thru things that other ones would not or other ones that have broken blades while trying to cut. Try em sometime and youll never go back
