Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light, portable, & makes very little mess. Very portable. The power switch is ergonomic and easy to use.

The only thing is you have to remove one phillips screw to remove the squaring rail. Also, i really wish it had a wrench holder for the included wrench.

First price is either spot on or a bit of a bargain. But it's still not perfect and frankly can never be made perfect.

Excellent value for the money - they definitely over shot my expectations.

Conclusion: it is good value for the money if you spend about an hour tuning it up.

Shipping

First time i’ve ever done tile, worked great and fast delivery.

Packaging/appearance

I did have to square the transport tray guide to the blade upon opening the package, but this was a very easy adjustment that j... Read More

Competitiveness

So i returned it, and bought a kobalt brand product competitive to this.

Anyone who has used the cheap versions sold at hf hd or lo should be ecstatic with this one.
