That's the perfect tool for people that want pumpkin guts all over the house.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

I once used a sabre saw to carve a pumpkin in a contest. There was :beer: involved.

I say that as someone about to married whose fiance has asked "what kind of mess are you making now?" more than once in the last couple of weeks.

I got one on closeout last year at HD for $5 and use it to trim my dog's nails with the little drum sanders. :thumbup:

First, let me just say that all of you have WAY too much time on your hands. Pumpkin carving? What are you all, 12 years old? :)

Second, it's a PUMPKIN! Who needs a power tool to cut through a big orange melon?

Third... this what I use to carve MY pumpkins: the ultimate pumkin carving tool. :lol_hitti I love the design books these guys carry too!

It's not a question of need. It's a matter of using all resources available to you. :) If you could get the same results with a power tool in less time than by doing it by hand, why wouldn't you?

Bah! REAL men do it by hand! With a sharp rock! Ugh ugh ugh! :badteeth:

Everything is better with more power

True enough, but I the orange stains are a ***** to get off the paint when I try the chain saw! I looks like something from a bad 'B' horror flick! :yikes:

Seriously though, I think the rotary tools may be better for doing the etched/engraved type pumpkin carving where you're not going all the way through, but I prefer the small hand saws, knives & punches for the regular carving. It gives a lot better control.

Im suprised no one here uses a .22

Kinda illegal in my neighborhood and slightly dangerous. Although I did hear of someone once using a small explosive charge to "carve" their pumpkin.
