Terry, I am old, lazy, and forgetful, so when I try and use my circ saw with a straight edge, I can never remember what the offset from the edge of the shoe to the blade is. So I have to measure it again. Then I inevitably make the mistake of cutting on the wrong side of the blade and screw up the cut anyway. That's why I like the saw guide, I just line up the edge of it with where I want to cut and I am done. Yes, I can make one of those handy dandy guides that we have heard about on this list, but the EZ guide does have a couple of nice features like, built-in clamps, and being made out of Aluminum. And, since my wife gave it to me as a Christmas present, I have it and might as well use it, especially if it means I need to buy another tool to use it more effectively. *GRIN*
