Thread: Trade Tools - Renegade R11800CS Circular Saw

I've got a few of the Renegade tools from trade tools and found them to be ok, pretty good value for money overall.

Thanks for the response. Just wanted to be sure in case I bought a lemon (as I often do).
Cheers

Have been a fan of Trade Tools for many years.

If in doubt, ask the blokes who are running the place, tell them what you want the tool for and how you intend to use it. They are [in my experience] knowledgeable, helpful and honest in what I was told.

Thanks for that.
I have to go to Melbourne and won't be back until 1st April. So I'll check them out then.
I will also need a protractor (adjustable square ?) for accurately setting the blade for angled cuts.
Is there a simple tool for this?
Cheers

With the price of digital protractors and the Wixy type of box angle finder coming down from their previous highs - I would be looking in this direction - just keep a backup set of batteries as they do go flat [takes a while] but they usually do just when you need them.

Thanks for that.
I'll have a look around Melbourne if I get the time.
If not, I will pick something up at my local Trade Tools outlet when I get back.
