I have purchased a 16 volt cordless set of tools that includes a circular saw, a jigsaw, a drill and a reciprocating saw. The set comes with two batteries and a plug-in charger. I went to Sears and purchased the old style non-electric mitre box for under $50. I purchased the hardware to build 4 sawhorses using 2 x 4 lumber. I hustled a piece of scrap plywood from a subdivision under construction that yielded a 20" x 6' board, backed it with two 2 x 4's, set it over two sawhorses and created a workbench that can be taken down and leaned against the garage wall. Using a clamped on straight edge, I can rip anything I need for home (or layout) use. The tools go back into the plastic case and onto the shelf when not in use. The space in the garage is not affected. I have invested, in total, less than $400. For home projects, including a layout, you do not need to blow the big bucks on big tools. Of course, this is just my opinion. <br /> <br />Tom
