Reciprocating saw. A couple of projects I used the dremel on when I was fixing up the mower and when I built my folding workbench. I love waking up in the morning to neighbors whirring their circular saws as they are hard at work making sawdust.
I use it for everything from ripping plywood sheets to cutting out lap joint grooves. The downside of a regular circular saw is that it is heavy and bulky, and so hard to use in tight spaces or above your shoulders.
