sounds quite dangerous!

Wow!

No repair available?? You're supposed to just send part of your saw back for $75 and have no saw?

[Bruce Wrenn]

The recall for Emerson made Craftsman saws was because of operator error and no reasonable way to prevent it. Reasonable being CHEAP. The Ryobi recall is because of a poor, but cheap, method of manufacturing. They are asking consumers to bite the bullet because of their short sightedness. Seems like a FULL REFUND of AVERAGE RETAIL PRICE would be better! They are saying, sell me your saw for $75.00, because we made a piece of CRAP.

Or a class action suit.
