The product, in the report: RotoZip tool. Black,Gray & small amount of red color. Round shape about 9 inches long with handle
I own a ROTO ZIP model RZ10. The serial number is 2430. Recently I was going to use my ROTO ZIP tool to do some work on the roof of my home.When I turned the tool on, all of a sudden the handle separated from the motorized part and the tool fell onto the roof and was spinning wildly out of control with the cut off blade spinning at a very high RPM. While spinning on the roof top the blade hit my shoe and put a gash in it. Furthermore the electrical cord began to wrap itself around spindle attached to the tool.It burned part of the cord.I had a very difficult time trying to pick up the spinning tool as it was jumping all over the place.I finally manager to get hold of the tool and secure it enough to turn it off. I then reattached the plastic handle and had just once again turned the tool on when the handle once again for the second time came off. The handle attachment of this tool is extremely insecure and unsafe! I could have easily had a badly cut hand or even a severed finger because of this poorly designed handle attachment. I will not use this tool again with the handle because it is blatantly dangerous and unsafe.

The product, in the report: Rotozip Rebel spiral saw tool
Rotozip Rebel spiral saw handle falls off and caused damage to floor and is dangerous. Borsch bought this company and the unit had been recalled years ago to my surprise when i began to look for parts. Contrary to your sight they will not do anything for a user and despite the recall suggested i might buy a replacement on Ebay even it it is illegal to sell it according to your announcement. even at the late date something should be done and they should not be allowed to ignore the issue.
