  • Get a 12V inverter and a normal 120V AC fast charging adapter. It seems silly to turn DC into AC then back into DC, but it’s totally worth it when you need a lot of charge fast.

    There are 12V inverters that plug into cigarette lighter ports. Some use a wire, and some just stick out of the port.

    You can also get “fast” charging USB ports that stick in your cigarette lighter, but they are never as good as a proper charging adapter. Maybe nowadays you can find a real fast charging one now that USB-C fast charging standards are a thing. I haven’t shopped for one in a long time.

    First off, the brake is $100, not “a couple hundred”. The blade is ruined, but decent blades aren’t crazy expensive either.

    A staple won’t trigger the saw stop unless you are also touching it. It works on capacitance, and a staple doesn’t have any capcitance on its own.

    You must only surround yourself with people who are prejudiced against SawStops. Twenty identical answers? Come on! The company wouldn’t exist if people didn’t buy them.

    When everything goes 100% perfectly, table saws are very safe. I have hundreds of hours using them, and not one injury. But if something goes wrong, I’d rather have the safety of a SawStop.

    Growing up, my father told me of a friend of his who slipped when operating a table saw and fell face first onto it. He lived, but you can imagine the damage it did to his face. It went right between his eyes, thankfully. A SawStop would have prevented that.

    Your car analogies are stupid, too… if I had a choice between buying a car without airbags and one with, I would buy the one with. Same with seatbelts and crumple zones. People like you have been around for hundreds of years saying shit like, “I don’t wear a seat belt. They’re for sissies.”

    Accidents happen even when you’re taking all of the normal safety precautions. No gives a shit if some forum full of good ol’ boys thinks using a SawStop makes you a bad person. Stop being such a hater. If someone wants to buy a SawStop, why do you care? Don’t answer that. I actually don’t care.

    I don’t own a SawStop, so I’m not trying to defend my purchase. I just think you’re an idiot for going out of your way to trash talk them.
