I've been getting fed up with trying to cut straight cuts in wood for some time now, so decided I needed a better tool for the job. And now I'm cladding the interior of my new shed with OSB board I definitely need more than a jigsaw, handsaw or even a scorpion saw. I'm also planning on boarding in more of the loft soon so it would be needed for that job too.

So I got myself a circular saw. I did some research first and got this one:

Evolution Fury 1. http://www.evolutionpowertools.com/us/project/fury.html

This saw has a special multi purpose blade that can cut through anything! If you are cutting wood and it has some nails in it the saw will just carry on cutting through the lot. With a normal circular saw this could cause dangerous kickback. It can cut wood, metal and plastic.

You can also buy a special diamond blade for cutting paving slabs and bricks. That might come in handy soon when I will be laying a new path in the back garden up to the shed.

It doesn't have a laser guide, but really I wouldn't rely on that anyway (a bit of a gimmick) as measuring correctly is the only way to get correct cuts first time. It does have all the other features wanted on a circular saw though. Depth adjustment so you don't have more blade exposed than you need, and angle adjustment up to 45 degrees for bevel and mitre cuts.
