Bosch “direct connect” retro-fit kit?
Has anybody tried to retrofit their Bosch or Skil worm-drive circ saw with the “direct connect” retro-fit kit made by Bosch? If so, was it easy to install and how do you like it?

A standardized approach, quick-to-install hardware, and a simplified design make building custom casework cost-effective.

I don't particularily like the direct connect.
Your cord has to have a good fitting plug and mine welded the cord up and it was almost impossible to fix I had to break the round collar to get it free.

I put the handle on my old Mag. It's been a while, but I don't remember it being difficult.
Havent done the retro kit but I have the Bosch CS10 and I like the direct connect. A couple of people that work with me say they like it too.
Probably has nothing to do with your original question, but i'm in the mood to talk (type).
