Advantages: cheap, quite good on features

Disadvantages: none

When looking for a new saw I needed one with a deeper cut for some diy work. The saw would be used very infrequently so would need to be cheap enough to justify getting it.

Homebase stocked a small range of saws, Black & Decker, Bosch & Power Devils. The larger saws ranged from £45 - £130. All had similar features and blade size but the quality of construction did show in the price.

Working to a tight budget made the Power Devil my only real option. The cheapest comparable Black & Decker was another £40.

The saw has a 184mm blade which gives a cut depth of 55mm. It has adjustable depth and angle of cut.There is a rip fence and provision to fit a dust bag. It also came with a spare blade making it excellant value for money.

For £45 it is relatively well made and is fine for occassional use, however the more expensive ones were far better designed and much easier to use.
