Perfect tool for the jobFeb 25, 2011
By Victor Blake
I purchased this tool to use to undercut wood trim for a tile installation. This is a large tool. Although it may look like a grinder, it is far larger. Unlike multipurpose tools, this is designed explicitly for undercutting. It performed the task perfectly. Now to be honest, I still used a multi-tool for some cleanup and detail work, however, there is NO WAY anyone could cut as straight a line with a multi-tool as this larger blade. The blade can be lowered just about (not quite) to the bottom (the floor). It has more than enough power to cut through any trim, nails, etc.
The only thing I didn't like was that the blade has to be adjust to the same height on both sides independently. There are height markings, but I still checked it with a ruler. I can see where it might be useful to set them independently, but it did add time to setup the tool. This tool has optional brick/tile cutting blade for undercutting brick and tile as well. I purchased, but have not yet used those blades. The angle of the handle is adjustable. Another small nit-pick is that you have to lower the handle to get it to fit into the carrying case. This isn't that unusual for larger tools.
The biggest drawback for this tool is that it was somewhat difficult to find. I saw one in a video on HGTV (a different brand) which is the only reason I even knew such a tool existed. The manufacturer, Crain, also sent along a nice catalog of other flooring tools which is apparently their focus. That's pretty clear based on the high quality of this tools. I definitely recommend this tool for anyone needing to undercut for floor installation.

Solid sawJul 19, 2012
By Sun
I used the saw to trim about a dozen door frames and it was quick and easy as would be expected. Then I turned it loose with the masonry blade undercutting the stone hearth, it took two passes along the ten plus feet and it was not quick or easy but the saw performed well and was reasonably easy to control. The motor seems to have enough power to keep going even under very punishing conditions.

great tool, no issues after first floor installMar 20, 2011
By Daniel A. Hripak
Flooring isnt my business but i install a few thousand sq ft a yr and this tool will pay for itself over the course of the two jobs i purchased it for. Takes a couple minutes to set depth for the job but once its set you're good to go until the next job.
