You are right, power tools are powerful, dangerous and should not be used.

You know.... I can remember when Arlington first came around. Their stuff was pure junk and we refused to use any of it. But over the years they actually became quite innovative and produce some really nice stuff! But this thing is just F$&%ing DUMB!!!
