The Clarke Crocodile saw fitted with one of  five different saws blades can cut through a wide range of materials like wood, copper, aluminum, plastics, fiberglass, drywall, ceramic tile and marble. It even cuts conduit, pipe, and sheet steel, including truck bed diamond plate. Using 4 amps of power, the 3-1/4" diameter blade spins at 4000 rpm's giving the Crocodile its solid performance.

"It's a go-to saw for any number of projects," said Craig Valentine, president of Clarke Power Products.  "It's great for basement remodeling, handling cutouts for outlet boxes, tile flooring and kitchen backsplash jobs, cutting away rusty quarter-panels on cars, as well as custom cutouts for stereo sound system installations, plunge cuts,  HVAC cutouts for whole-house humidifiers and vents, trim work, crafts, hobbies - all kinds of jobs."

The guys over at CopTool put together a really good video comparing the two carbide hole saws, but they make it very clear that these two hole saws are not in the same class. While the Milwaukee Big Hawg is meant mostly for wood, the Bosch Carbide Saws are meant to cut through a range of materials.

While watching the video keep in mind the 2-1/8" Bosch Carbide Hole Saw costs a little more then double the price of the Milwaukee Big Hawg

You can pick up your Milwaukee Big Hawg or Bosch Carbide Hole Saw at Amazon.

I have added a comment system to all tool reviews. Now you will be able to ask questions, or add comments about a tool or review. This is replacing the old comment system that was used to link tool reviews with the forums. This should be a better system having both on the same page.

So be sure to check back on your reviews every once in a while to see if there are any comments.

It was suggested that I add a blog aggregator to the front page, so a spent a good amount of time trying to find something that would work well and still look good.

After a long search, and trying out a few that looked good, I found something that worked well and looked OK . I then spent a good amount of last night styling it to make it look better, and get everything to line up correctly.

I have added it to the right sidebar, and have used it to replace the blog links. When you hover over a link, an overlay will open up displaying an intro of the blog entry. The 4 listed blogs are displayed in a slider to help save space. To open the slider, click on one of the names.
