Awesome for demo projects
I've owned this saw for 6 years. I used it to cut apart and scrap a car after it was totaled in a crash. With a few metal cutting blades it took a unibody car down to a pile of scrap metal. I then used it to demo a giant pool deck that needed to come down. I went through several wood demo blades but it did the job with ease. Lately I've been using it once a week or so with wood demo blades to chop up pallets I burn in my fire pit and wood stove. I just ordered the first replacement part - a new shoe as the old one wore out. Very high quality tool.
