Dude my parents are pulling that thing from out of the bottom cabinet next week for its big annual moment to shine. Thing is at least 40 years old and works flawlessly once a year.
Ours had the white top part but like this canned peas green bottom to it. My grandmas was that late 70's early 80's gross orange color, the white was stained brown by cigarette smoke. She had a hanging spot for it in the kitchen, she liked to smoke while doing the dishes and cooking dinner... I mean she liked to smoke from constantly from the time she woke up till she found out she had lung cancer. She quit for about 3 months, then died.
We all had one or went to a relative’s house where this thing was pulled out at dinner time….
But the real question is WTF were they really cutting up in the early 70’s that all of the nation needed a fucking SAWZALL to slice Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinner….?
Inquiring minds want to know!! It sure as hell isn’t the moist-ass bird I serve every year…
My boomer FIL has one. Literally travels with it for Thanksgivings when visiting family in Portland. It’s like some He-man power trip thing for these boomer.

If you ever need to cut a memory foam mattress into smaller chunks THIS is the best tool for the job.

Yeah, I didn't read before posting the same thing. But it works great and you can almost always find one at any thrift store.

Dang beat me to it. I came in here to say 'yeah but if you ever have to cut foam these things come in clutch'

I had an early Thanksgiving dinner at my girlfriend’s parents home just last weekend where they busted out one of these to cut the turkey.

The flowers and dingy whiteness… and the cord that you just KNOW feels grimy… that’s nostalgia!

I still have one! Found it way back in the back of the kitchen cabinet at my grandmother's house. The kids and I call it the chicken chainsaw lol

What is the POINT of this tool??? 😭😂
Gubernaculator@reddit
Because people didn’t know how to sharpen knives back then?
geriatric-sanatore@reddit
Because it's fun to use a power tool to cut a turkey

Is that supposed to be an old thing? I bought mine about ten years ago and use it about twice a year ever since.
Pro tip. The handle gets slippery after using it and your hands to move meat around, but if you wrap the handle with an ace bandage it works superbly.

Still pull that bad boy out once or twice a year. Definitely on Thanksgiving. That thing makes light work of any protein based dish. 🤣
