Craftsman 10&#34 MiterMate Miter Saw (21226) —

This is a great saw for the plain fact that it goes beyond the basic miter saw. Saws for decades have done the same straight cuts, bevel cuts, etc with the wings at 180 degrees. This saw breaks the mold by having completely adjustable wings for cutting trim. Before this saw you'd have to measure it out exactly, hope it fit correctly in a corner you assumed was 90 degrees, and if there was a mistake just caulk it in. With this saw, just use the angle finder on your corner (inside AND outside corners), transfer the angle to the saw, and make a perfect cut. Saves us non-pros time, money, and a lot of guesswork.
