Ever try to use a circular saw in an apartment? What a hassle! Full size power tools are not only big and cumbersome...
they are loud!Really loud .
I know my neighbors wouldn't appreciate it much if I started cutting some wood in the middle of my apartment.
But what do you do if you like work on small do-it-yourself projects? The solution most people come up with is to use a rotary tool such as a Dremel.
This really doesn't work well for several reasons: 1.
The cutting disks always shatter and break 2.
It takes forever to cut something such as a piece of wood 3.
They are awkward to hold 4.
It's hard to get a nice straight cut Here's the solution: Mini Circular Saws If you haven't heard of them, these little suckers are amazing! They are just like full size circular saws, but have a much smaller blade, are lightweight, easy to store and aremuch quieter .
They also come in cordless models.
Mini circular saws are perfect for small projects around your home or apartment and will make short cutting work of almost any material.
Wood, tile, carpet, plastic, drywall...
heck you can even use them out in the garden to prune some small branches or bushes! What I really like about them is that they solve all the rotary tool issues I listed above and are just plain efficient.
These saws are made by all of the top brands: Craftsman, Makita, etc.
If you have a particular tool brand that you like, chances are that they also make a mini circular saw.
