This video is not worth watching. However, if you want a cringe worthy moment, go to 8:27 and watch for about 10 seconds.

What other items do you have in your shop you can use for a push stick?

At least he used something!

I wonder if the power strip was the one he was using to power the circular saw.

BINGO

It's a safety feature. If he slipped and cut the cord, the saw would stop. I wonder if Steve Gass thought of this

Got that beat. There used to be this clown here on WN who used the end of his combo square as a push stick.

If he cuts the power strip does it cut his electric bill

LMAO!!! You could wrap a rubbery power cord around your fingers and use it as the push stick and if it slipped it would cut the cord thus cutting power to the saw and you dont cut your finger off. The Power Stop!..

This feature could work on almost any power tool.

What's wrong? Doesn't that thing prevent the board from surging toward you?
