I've found that the quality of power tools (particularly DeWalt) has dropped over the last 10 years. In my shop I have several 12" mitre saws and the best one is still the oldest one. New saws come and go but the old one is still the most accurate. When it comes to repairing tools it has to be a fairly inexpensive repair to be worth the drive and the repair bill to be worth the time and effort. I've found that if the switch is shot chances are there are other problems on the horizon. Alan

Wow road87man that's harsh. I think of this as a piece art. It has a pleasing shape and an interesting colour contrast. In my opinion this piece can't be judged strictly on function, form was clearly a priority for the designer. As for space required, perhaps the designer has a space that it fits into perfectly.
