You only need one saw.

Its a combo table saw and miter saw. apparently they are popular in Europe with contractors.

LMAO! I am glad I already set down my wine.

I don't see the wind-up-thingy!

I think Ray can confirm this but you'd be amazed at how little storage space most Europeans have, and also how relatively few possessions. Even in suburban and rural areas, large garages, large dedicated storage areas, one car per driver and garages to match are the rare exception, not the rule.

No surprise they make tools that can perform more than one job.

I first thought the yellow part was removable thereby also making it a handheld circular saw.

There's also a router table and a small car in that package.

I would bite, if the price was right

all my stationary tools are in the garage and not used much in Michigan winters. my basement stairs turn halfway at a corner, so no large indoor projects anyway. and space is at a premium.
I am going to start a a couple skin-on-frame kayaks, and a saw like these would be about perfect for ripping stringers. wonder where to look for one in the States? must be popular, dewalt sells a couple in europe

I've just returned (from begging) to my poor, bare hovel and sit here furiously pedalling my home-made generator to power my 28K dial-up modem (salvaged from land-fill) to reply.

These flip-over saws have been around for many years and are intended for site use, particularly for first-fix and other jobs involving sawn, rather than prepared lumber. If you're cutting or trimming joists, it will do the job fine. No-one expects to make fine furniture with these, nor is that their intended market. "Respected" brands, like DeWalt, produce very accurate models (with a very "accurate" price tag), but space-saving is NOT their intention. They're made for site work, so portability is their key strength. The very reason why they're so light. I don't suppose you see many Unisaws on building sites (particularly high-rise), do you?

Regarding tools that can perform "more than one job," the Australian Triton Workshop System has been doing just that since 1976. The British Black & Decker Workmate is probably the most famous multi-function tool anywhere, which also is able to hang on a wall. I believe both systems are available in North America too. Multi-function tools have their place in any country and/or environment, not just, or even mainly, in Europe.

Regarding the "large garages, large dedicated storage areas, one car per driver and garages to match are the rare exception, not the rule" comment, the reason for this could well be that European population densities come from the fact that we've been here a fair bit longer than you have and don't like pulling down our heritage to make room for cars. HTH - don't take this personally, I didn't!

No offense taken at all. Just wanting an expert to confirm or debunk my speculative answer.
