  • TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (9/12/2007)
  • When I began working in the building trades some thirty-plus years ago, carpentry tools fell into two categories: basic hand tools and simple electric power tools. I didn't start working with cordless tools until the mid-80s, when I bought my first 9.6-volt, 3 3/8-inch blade cordless saw–more of a toy than a tool. Today, however, cordless technology seems to be the fastest growing segment of the construction tool market, and cordless saws have come a long way in terms of technology, power, and performance. I was eager to test the newest models on my jobsites, and I am happy to say that many of these saws finally can be considered power tools.

  • Premier Fusion General-Purpose Saw BladeMVP Award Winner: Premier Fusion General-Purpose Saw Blade
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (6/13/2007)
  • Freud America. Sometimes "general purpose" means doing many things, none of them very well. The Premier Fusion general-purpose saw blade, however, has been designed to cover the gamut from crosscuts and rips in hardwoods and softwoods to cuts in two-sided veneer and laminates. Not having to change blades "saves huge amounts of time," a judge noted. A double-grind tooth design helps the carbide blade cut smoothly so vibration is dampened. The nonstick coating prevents corrosion and gumming. The series features four sizes: 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-inch. Cost: $99. 800-334-4107.
