I bought this motor when I was rebuilding my compressor from tank up with a new Eaton pressure lubed pump. It’s reversible, rated for continuous duty, and it’s quite. After I bit the bullet and spent the cash I’m definitely happy with it. NEW 5HP 184T FRAME WEG ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR AIR...

I have the blue hf one I picked up for cutting old work boxes in plaster. 2 years later I've used it for more than I ever thought and almost daily at work and it has held up great. But like others have said buy good blades. I get fein or bosch ones.

Big fan of this stuff, not harsh on the hands and cleans up great.

I have to say Im not a big fan of there linesmen's as to me they felt bulky, but the tin snips I tried had me pretty impressed, better leverage and more comfortable than my wiss set.
