This little saw is a quality piece. It's speed is half of others that I've owned and that alone makes it 1) last longer, and 2) much more controllable. Great for both tight places and thin sheet metal work.

This was my husband's purchase. Solid construction. Originally chose this one because it's the only one I found with "quick change" blades, however they use set screws just like every other one. So I don't know what they mean by "quick change." Just be aware if that's a big selling point for you. Other than that, I have nothing negative to say.
