Circular Saw - Evolution Fury 1

[Kin Hell]

I looked @ buying one of these evolution Circular saws, but the type to sit on a bench, sometimes known as a Chop Saw. I didn't buy one in the end despite seeing positive reviews by the truck load about the saws themselves. Where these Evolution tools fall flat on their face is the longevity of their blades. Apparently, if you hit nails in wood, it has a severe impact on the sharpness of the blade when then cutting something softer such as wood. Most might chirp, "So buy another make of blade". - But this is not possible.
Where every other company such as Makita, Metabo & even *cough* Black & Decker use a 30mm size hole in their blades, Evolution do not.
So you buy an Evolutions circular saw & then have to buy their blades or throw the tool away.

Ttrue, but their blades are generally also cheaper than other makes. I've seen them 50% less, plus I'm still using the original blade in mine with no issues.
