Like others have mentioned, there are a few design flaws - some increadibly dangerous ones as well!
1. Heel too shallow for safe operation with high chance of slippage resulting in kickback
2. They've made a simple push block too many gadgets - a safety device such as a push block should be JUST a push block.
3. CLOSED HANDLE!!!! Push blocks with closed handles should be banned in my opinion. If for some reason, the pushblock comes into contact with the blade, your hand is forced to follow. Without a closed handle, you are able to easily release the tool from your hand and stay out of harms way.
The ideas are all there, but in my opinion, you should definitely pass on this one and either make your own (which is very very very simple to do), or find one to buy, that does not have a closed handle. I would have given it 4 stars for having just the shallow heel and an open handle, but the closed handle is what really kills this item. A good example of a safety item making operation more dangerous in some aspects.Get more detail about BOSCH TS1010 Table Saw Pusher/Scale For 4000 Table Saws.
