Fuego 6-1/2" - Purchased in 2008
Rating:


Strengths: Light weight,6-1/2" blade is very fast and this speed makes up for the saw not having as much torq as the 15 amp saws, good power for 12 amp,easy blade change,long cord,carry bag

Weaknesses: I have not seen any weaknesses so far.

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: Nothing I research my tool purchases very carefully.

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: At a cost of 119.00 I can't think of anything this saw is missing.
This saw is better than a lot of higher priced saws.
How do you make this product better?........Raise the price a little, I don't mind paying for quality
and make them here in the USA. A good tool is a good tool even if assembled in China

Strengths: None

Weaknesses: Didn't compare to a real saw from Porter Cable, Milwake, or Skil Saw.
Couldn't even comeclose to being a contractor's saw. Leave this piece of S**t on the shelf at the Home Depot for the homeowner's to buy .

Strengths: A good saw with lots of power. No trouble at all with this tool - my money maker. From datos to rips, it has plenty of power. I like the lighted cord icon, helps me find it when there is spaghetti at the outlet.

Weaknesses: metal plate is suseptible to bending. Had to replace it ($85).
