I just tested the Bosch
PS50-2A 12-Volt Max Multi-X Cutting Kit . WOW! I mean
WOW! It made, with a little help from me, two ultra-precision cuts in a
piece of baseboard so I could install a vanity base cabinet. It was
mission critical that the blade not touch the hardwood floor. I
switched to a square blade as I got close to the floor. You NEED one of
these amazing cordless tools. I wish I would have had one years ago
when I was building everyday! Talk about a time saver. WOW! |
