That’s got to be weird to use. I would love to see a video of it in action.
Wow, that’s pretty wild. That price is a choker though.

Yes, that’s quite ridiculous…. You realize what you can buy for that much?
A nice inverter generator and circular saw and you might have some money left over. I don’t see the point of something like this to be really honest now. You have so many options now for off the grid building in this day and age.
Yeah, seems a little late to the party..
Funky though
ok so instead of a 50 foot extension cord that you don’t need you only have to have a 50 foot exhaust pipe…..for indoor cutting….brilliant!
Makes. No sense. Would never wanna use this inside.
Those look pretty cool. Found some vids of an old model on the Tube…
The web site is a crisis site. This seems more geared towards preppers and survivalists.
probably for the amish, I remember seeing a miter saw retrofitted with a gas engine for them a while back-
take that damn english technology!!! LOL
Generator and an extension cord would make more sense. Imagine what a full line of tools power by gas motors would like like, drill, reciprocating saw, sander, and even the multi-tool.
in the first video, buddy could cut 3 times faster with a new blade………
I think so. They all look old and beaten up. I think they are cool saws, but I wouldn’t wanna have that noise all day when doing some cutting.
This is a nice vid though
It’s definitely a novelty and for large volume rough cuts. I’d probably never want or buy one unless the cost came way down. Now if you could add a feature that doesn’t require a pull start, like gas powered golf carts where you just pull the trigger and it runs as needed, that would be something.
Battery operated saw would do the job better and faster.
imagine the kickback, probably loose an arm.
Yeah. I’m sure it wouldn’t be good.
novelty aside….it’s badass.
For the bush carpenter who paints in broad strokes….
seems a bit overpriced…
its definetly a cool idea. would be ideal for framing, since many of those jobs dont have power onsite. but with the cordless saws available today, it’d be a tough sell.
an article with more info.

this saw is not that bad of an idea in my opinion. its a dewalt saw combined with a stihl engine.
