Powerful, excellent control.
The reversing switch would work once in a while in the beginning, now it doesn't work at all.

the ratchet is a real piece of work! not made well. the rest of it is dang good stuff. i put a 6 ft pipe on the breaker bar and removed the bolt. sockets are made out of good stuff

i have a big garage 28 x32 and the wind twisted it i used this winch to make it plumb it has worked well

I have found the HF blades to be too poor to cut anything for long. I use Vermont blades, and they actually fit good. As for the saw itself, I use it to cut autobody metal panels, and fiberglass panels, and have very little trouble. If the "blade sticks", and has to be bumped to restart, it needs oil. When mine does it, I add oil to the air inlet, and also a couple of drops to the piston where the blade attaches. A couple of the cleanup guys use it to cut up the old urethane bumpers for better stacking for disposal, and they love it. All in all, it's a great tool, as long as you use it for what it was designed, and maintain it...

Strong enough to support 200lbs bouncing a bit on the very end, albeit with a bit of spring.

The driven end has about a 15 degree offset so that pivoting the handle to the other side gives a different angle -- a nice detail compared to some other brands. Even with a six point socket you can find a near-horizontal angle to use as a diving board, or fit between obstructions.
