That must just be how they are branding it in Germany. Porter-Cable even call it is a Tiger Claw too. http://www.deltaportercable.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=11642# A couple of years ago there was a Craftsman version of this. I picked one up on clearance. The Craftsman version even had one more point of rotation back by the handle. Otherwise, it was the same saw as the Porter Cable. It has been a great saw but I would not encourage anyone to buy one unless they regularly work in tight spaces. This tool adds a lot of additional weight and can be tiring if you have lots of demo to do. That is a Porter-Cable model. That must just be how they are branding it in Germany.

We did not find it to be a breakthrough in convenience or anything else. We continue to stay with our Milwaukees - although I've seen some good comments about the Makita.
