Don't spend more for a pro grade saw for something you may only use a couple of projects a year.
For less than 50 bucks I would get the Black and Decker. I have 4 saws from a 25 dollar B&D to a 200 dollar Milwaukee. I take the B&D on the jobs that if I should drop it or run over it or even just forget it, I wouldn't lose any sleep. It cuts just as nice as the high dollar one.

Only buy hand tools from Horrible Freight. They don't pack the magic smoke in their electric tools as good and it comes out way too fast.
