Kawasaki chop saw?

[jeepjunky]

So my wife bought me a chop saw, she offered the $200 Dawalt, but I opted for the $99 Kawasaki (I needed it for a current project, but infrequent use otherwise). I looked them up last night on the net and they appear to be made by Alltrade tools, same company that makes snap-on.
Anyone have experence with the Kawasaki chop saw, I used it today. It seems tight and well built...Heck it even cut metal
I guess Im hoping that the $100 spent on the saw was well spent, I just couldnt justify the BIG name tool.
Thanks

I've seen Kawasaki power tools in Tractor Supply and have also been wondering about them.

The 15A chop saw currently has five reviews:

Oh brother...All Trade doesn't make Snap-on. Snap-on is made by Snap-on. All Trade licensed the Snap-on name to sell cheap "tools" and accessories through discount auto stores, etc. The All Trade "Snap-on" stuff is pretty much junk. All Trade must have thrown them a lot of money to license the name, but somehow, I still think this is a bad deal for Snap-on if people start associating All Trade with them.

It's the same with Kawasaki. Licensed a recognized name to sell imports, largely Chinese, through stores like Pep Boys, etc. I'm sure for occasional use, it'll be fine.

Looks an aweful lot like a green painted HF chop saw, also 99.99
