    That would be handy for trimming shooting lanes for hunting.

    It's kinda cool but I'll keep my hatchet and jigsaw and keep my money in my pocket. Just another way to
    :makeitrain" and I've got enough of those already.

    Thankfully, my sense kicks in and overrides the "want" 99% of the time. :sherlock:

    I could be wrong but I think the Green colored Bosch is only available in Europe, might not see this in the States for a while. I have enough sawzalls for now...

    Pretty cool. I would buy one for a gift for my wife to use around house and barn if the price was reasonable. Also a good size for younger ones to start/learn with.

    I am not so sure about that, that thing has limited safety; the thing should probably have a tip guard even if it does have limited power. AvE tried using it as a saw mill on his video and it soon died.

    I keep a 115v Homelite 14 in. with my electric splitter for that purpose. Use it mostly for fibers that just won't separate. This one is cute as hell, but I question its usefulness.

    If we think of it from a firewood hoarders perspective, or typically heavier duty applications, it doesn't seem very practical. But it appears to me to be a craft making tool. Designed for light duty, smooth cutting convenience. And from what I've seen, Bosch usually makes nice stuff.
