    I love it. My spouse's Uncle Jim lost three fingers in two separate table saw incidents...I don't know, myself I think I'd have learned after the first one, but that's just me...

    I had a neighbor that did it twice himself. And on a radial arm saw. Those scare me. Especially, when I see people pulling the blade that will self feed if you don't keep the saw from pulling itself into the material. And where you put your hand to hold the material in place seems to be an issue, especially if short material.

    I used to work with a guy like that. Drove screws through his hand and out the other side. Missing multiple fingers from entirely different events. Guy could count in fractions.

    Agreed the push stick is too bulky the grip handle does not afford good control.
    Something like this with a forked wooden blade would be much better
