I believe at least some of the metal cutters have slower blade speeds. Have you ever seen one of those metal cutting circular saws work? They are amazing. No sparks and a clean flash free cut. They make them as cutoff saws now. I'd love to have a cut off saw in the garage that doesn't shower the place in sparks. I think a regular abrasive saw would still be necessary for certain jobs but most stuff could be done better and faster with the carbide tooth metal cutter.

I find these kinds of tools generally a much better value when packaged in a kit. I paid about 600 Canadian for an 18 V XRP 1/2 hammer drill, Sawzall, Circular Saw and flashlight. I got a coupon to pick a free tool and chose a 3/8 angle drill. I have used all of them and the 18 V power is amazing. The flashlight lasts for hours and is almost a bright as a headlight. The drill is fantastic. The saws have proven equally usefull and imressive. All around one the best value for money purchases I have ever made.
