With its arsenal of connectors, the Zeta P2 makes connections at nearly all angles, at the shop or on the job site, easy and exact.

"It saves so much time, which is huge. This isn't an inexpensive tool, but I guarantee you it will pay for itself if you use it. When I first saw it, I thought, "What wizardry is this?" Whoever thought to have the blade dither like that is up there with the guy who invented zip ties."
