I’d donate it to my local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. They’ve been doing fiber cement siding for years, and the dust has always bugged me (even with goggles and a mask.)
I borrowed this saw for a very brief day on my current project and it worked sweet. I would love to have it to finish up my current house project… James Hardie over a rainscreen (outsulation).
The saw essentially blows the dust through a small hose to a 5 gallon bucket (user supplied). There is still a little dust but much, much less. When I used it we didn’t use respirators, so nice.
I didn’t blog about it but made sure to notify my followers…

My driveway is a mess and I would use it to saw cut up the present driveway to then put in a new one.
Ohhhh, I would finally replace the rotten backerboard in my shower to HardieBacker. Its scary, I put my hand through the tile the other day. Its like someone put tile unto a day old subway sandwich.
I would love to get rid of our cement drive and put in pavers.
I subscribe to this site also.
I don’t think I would use it on my driveway. I too would donate it to Habitat or the local CHDO here in Lawrence,KS USA. The quality of the cut was always limited to how long one could hold your breath the old way.
I’d gift it to my neighbor who is an independent contractor.
I’d use it on local Habitat for Humanity projects. Fiber cement siding is much sturdier than vinyl, but it’s a pain to cut with shears.
Oh, I love this and in the spring we are putting up James Hardie shingles!! Thank you for the chance to win…
Merry Christmas
I would use this saw to cut the concrete blocks I’m using to build a retaining wall.

Can’t beat what Adrienne said. Would probably rip up the old steps out back.
We have two complete bathrooms to install in our house so this would definitely come in handy for the shower walls!

I would use this saw to cut the concrete blocks that are in my living room
Just a quick point to make here for many of you.
This saw isn’t really meant for cutting concrete, it’s for cutting fiber cement siding products.
I’d sell it to buy the tools I REALLY need! 🙂
My wife wants a new bathroom! New backer board under the tub surround and new tile underlayment on the floor.

I’m fixing up the 100 year old shed next to my house.
Cutting “cement board” is not a healthy task and this saw seems to address the problem well. I beleive the contractor remodeling my busness addition will be using this tool so I will get to see it in action. I would like to have one of my own as I have several old warehouses that need repair and I would like to recover them with a durable and in expensive fiber cement siding.
I could put that to use on a number of projects.
I saw one person comment about the dust but this saw has a collection hose.
My DH is rebuilding his shed so I know he would use it for that.
I would give it to hubby to work on his grandmas cement driveway that the county really messed up!

Having the right tools makes for a happy handyman! I have asked my hubby to replace our walkway to our front door. This is exaclty what he needs to complete my wish list project.
My grown son is a tinkerer and fixes everything in my house as the good son he is and does not own one. Please have pity before he tries to fix something else without the right tools!!!!
My husband would love this
I’d actually donate this to friends, who make displays for merchandise shows.

My brother in law is a handyman, does about everything. Anyway, I’d love to be able to give this to him for his job. I know he’d be shocked and amazed if I handed it over to him! Of course, my mother has some sidewalk work that needs to be completed and this just might do the trick. So it’d be a win/win for him and her!
Thanks for the giveaway.

to remove sections of broken sidewalk so we could pour a new section.
I see that this would work well on granite and marble–would love to use this as we work on our countertops
My dh and I would use this to remodel our shed.
We are wanting to add a walkway and patio area and this would be so helpful so we wouldn’t have to rent one.
