There's no cure for stupidity, nor should a manufacturer be liable for the stupidity of the users of its products. If the product is constructed so that it is inherently unsafe no matter who uses it or how they use it, that's different, but modern table saws come with blade guards and other safety features that make them safe if used properly.
I looked at the SawStop before buying a new table saw a couple of months ago and went with the new Powermatic with the riving blade that moves up and down with the blade, even when ripping. I felt that was enough for me, and I got a quality saw at a better price.
I think SawStop and this new device should be available for those that want them. Businesses should probably looking at them closely to avoid liability claims, but as a hobbyist woodworker, I choose to accept the responsibility for my own safety.

I don't mind seeing other styles, too, but I love A & C. I enjoy coming up with variations on the style that are pleasing to me. I like the deceivingly simple appearance that belies the complexity of the construction.

I have a pair of the 12v Ridgid drill/drivers with regular chucks that I got on a special when buying both at the same time. Great size and weight with plenty of power, and the pair lets me have a drill bit in one and a driver in the other. Very satisfied with them.

I agree with what seems to be the majority: pretty boring stuff. I would like to see reviews of less than common tools that are new and unusual or ones that maybe aren't as popular as they used to be, such as the radial arm saw. Include reasons why they could be useful additions to a small shop like most of us have.
A suggestion for new tools would be a comparison between sanders like Stockroom Supply's Vdrum sander and the Sand-Flee. Both are a significant investment for something that I have no experience with.
I would like to see the magazine post a notice that they are going to do a test on specific products and ask for reader input on the specific items that can be included IN the article, to see how user input compares with the editors' conclusions.

I very much enjoy the simple lines of Arts and Crafts furniture, especially Mission style. Also, Greene and Greene influenced styles.
