My brother bought one a couple of years ago.  He used it a lot. building 
a log arch among other things.  Not long after the warranty expired he 
picked it up by the top handle and the saw broke at the pivot.  HF said 
"tough, out of warranty".  He bought a Milwaukee and it is a much better 
saw.

He keeps the broken HF unit on the wall to remind himself to never buy 
something from HF with a power cord.
