So a lazy Sunday has lead me to watch the new Discovery show 'Pitchmen' today and they are spotlighting a 'new' saw called the Omni Dual Saw. Apparently this saw has been in the works by a French inventor for 12 years (former fire fighter). It seems very similar to the Craftsman Twin Cutter...

wow wish i was closer

I've been seeing that CL ad for months on the Detroit CL! The guy is either lazy or too cheap to buy one at Sears. :headscrat

As serious as his Avon collection is :lol_hitti

Mine showed up just like pictured above! Very nice score. Glad it came with the case as well. It would have cost me $30 to get a case otherwise....same price for the saw itself lol

Mine should be showing up today. I am anxious to see if it will come with a case or not.

Sometimes the OD of the 3/8 sockets will not allow you to get to some fasteners. I primarily use 3/8" drive but there are just some hard to reach spots that require 1/4" drive socket clearance :thumbup:

I use one all the time where I am dealing with small hardware (1/4" or less) where its a through bolt/screw and I can't get a wrench on the other side (counter bored hole). I use the breaker bar on one side with my 1/4" ratchet on the other. This is mainly done on assembly type of work.

Yup. Usually the weight is in reference to the head, not the overall weight of the tool.

I'm not sure how the 'quiet glide' series slides attach, but if they are anything like the basic home owners series, you won't be able to move them around too easy. On the basic home owners series, the rails attach to guides that are formed onto the inner side walls (which are not moveable). HTH

I picked one up as well. It's a good enough price where I can store it away until I buy the battery or need to use it :)

There is a used tool store out in Waterford, which is somewhat near by the metro area. They have a variety of used mechanics tools from all the big 3 tool truck companies. I've gone there a few times and picked up some nice deals. The address is: Geno's Tools 4716 W. Walton Blvd Waterford...

Are you referring to the symbols stamped into the wrenches as engravings? Those are Snap On date codes! They tell you the year the wrench was manufactured. I still think you got a heck of a deal....even if you have to replace the 3 flank drive plus wrenches with 3 standard flank drives to...

Thanks :thumbup:
