The Black & Decker is fine. I have one, it's very sturdy. 3 years of occasional use, mostly cutting steel and aluminum, and it runs like the day it was new. Until recently, it was also more powerful than the comparably priced Dremel (2 amps vs. 1 or 1.5?).

I used a Makita planer helping somebody with a boat restoration. It was easy to take too much off if you weren't careful, but it left a really nice surface after cutting.

I have the drill and driver from separate purchases. The driver has no problem with lug nuts and even got off axle nuts after a few second of hammering. Drill is... a drill? It's fine, no major problems.

It's got a table, so I reckon you can use it as a beam cutter or a post topper and get a far cleaner cut. Looks a bit scary though, to me.

Might be a good mini-mortising tool, if the replacement bar/chains aren't crazy expensive. I'm imagining sharpening those cutters with a tiny, tiny file...
