When we were out at the home builder's show in Las Vegas last month, we came across a multi-purpose hand saw that really kicked butt. The name of this baby is Evolution rage. Really, this is a new version of a circular saw that just about cuts through anything on the job site or at work in your shop at home. We saw this saw cut through steel, aluminum, wood, plastic, and even wood with nails in it. This is all using the same blade on the saw from start to finish. The only time you have to change the blade is if you want to cut through cement or stone, then you use there diamond edged blade.
All of this cutting goes on without coolant required, and what's really hard to believe without seeing is no sparks produced! The saw has plenty of RPMs to generate cutting power, but the saw controls the power so well that there really is no heat build up, and the material, even steel, is cool enough to touch right after cutting. The saw collects wood or metal chippings automatically, nice feature! The Rage manufacturer claims that the saw blade system can cut up to 60 yards of 1/4" steel. We haven't tried to cut that much at once yet, that's for sure.
Standard equipment that comes with the rage is one side handle, one fence guard, one safety goggles, one Allen wrench one very durable molded carrying case for the saw, ear plugs, one multi blade, and a complete operating manual. It also looks like they have a fairly nice 2 year warranty! This saw is definitely worth checking out, its multi-purpose use pays for itself in no time at all!
