Good piece of kit. Wasn’t expecting too much because of the price so was surprised how great it works
Very useful when outside – much safer than trailing a lead to a plug point. Cuts through significant wood. Let down by poor quality blades which did not last very long at all – buy some better ones when you order this.
The saw was perfect for my needs. I used a reverse blade to saw through and remove a timber structure which was very close to the ceiling.
It’s not as quick as the higher end saws but it does the exact same job it’s perfect for around the garden and wee odd jobs and it’s surprisingly very light compared to others I recommend this tool
Brilliant saw,cuts through 3 x 2 wood like butter highly recommend
Came with 2 batteries which charge really quickly and power the saw for a pretty good time. With the right blade this saw will make easy work of most tasks I threw at it.
All in all really good value for money .
It solved my problem, took some time, but saved money.
The saw is brilliant, the blades, not so much. Had to order a different set of blades. The blades that came with it flexed too much, didn’t trust them to cut thicker wood/ branches. The battery was quite good, however if your cutting thicker wood/ tree then it will die quicker. The charging time was good. Can’t complain. Overall, brilliant product, not so great blades for what I wanted it for. I would recommend.
Bought as a gift for son, he loves it. Says it takes all the hard work out of sawing and can be altered for fine cuts or rough. Having 2 batteries is a real bonus
It’s good so far. Only had it a few days !
Tried to contact Hychika, in the UK or anywhere , no response, no spare parts no customer service nothing ,!! Apart from one email from China eventually.
now the shaft has broken out of the machine, after 7 months of occasional , the machine is now useless as I said previously can’t get a spare part so will have to be thrown away.
BUT they should have a 12-month warranty , so pretty annoyed with the whole situation as no one wants to know,!! and I’ve just wasted 70 can’t contact anybody , what are the disappointed by the whole situation.
I would not recommend buying any Hychika tool as if anything goes wrong you may as well just throw it away. There is no help or support from anybody
He wanted a cordless saw, for ease of use, and knowing that these powerful batteries soon run down, insisted on one with a spare battery. We found this ‘Hychika’ one which seemed to compare favourably to the recognised brands, but was considerably cheaper, in fact about half the price; plus it had that important spare battery.
He was pleasantly surprised when it arrived as it felt solid and fairly weighty, like the one he’d used before, and I’m told performance wise, it is just as good, if not better. He charged both the batteries, one for use immediately, and the other ready for when it was needed. The saw has been purchased originally for tidying up the garden before winter; chopping down overgrown branches and bramble. He is using his garden gloves to grab the bramble into brunches and then chopping downwards; branches again, hold and cut. This was quite a big job so he did need the second battery to complete the garden, which was ready to use by the time the first one was used up. A light at the end of the saw holder came in very handy, as it was becoming dark before the full job was completed.
A choice of 4 different sizes blades, with the two batteries, and a battery charger are all included in the pack. My partner who is experienced in using this type of power tool, is very pleased with the performance, cutting power, ease of use, and the general feel of the tool and accessories. He considers the saw set to be very good value, and would be happy to recommend.
I have never used a reciprocating saw before so can’t compare the performance to other makes, but once I’d got the hang of it, this model did exactly what I’d hoped. If new to these tools, the key is to hold the front guard against what your going to saw and then press the trigger and let the blade do all the work without forcing too much. It took a couple of minutes googling to discover how to use the tool properly and minimise the vibration, although I could have just read the instructions that came with the machine instead!
Makes very easy work of cutting 2-3 inch branches, larger was fine too with an under-cut. Haven’t tried it for general woodworking yet, but having watched some Youtube vids, it looks very promising. Cuts metal too with the correct blade ( this model comes with two wood and two metal-cutting blades) and Im going to try some tree pruning blades with coarser teeth which I reckon will be even more efficient for garden work.
What swung it for me with this model was the fact it comes with two fast-charging batteries, and they seem to have very good capacity.
Any corded powertool is cheaper than it’s cordless equivalent, or you get more for the same price, but the freedom of no cables for garden work outweighs that, and this model seems to be a good bet for the lower end of the price range.
I cut the tree trunk down to within a couple of inches of the ground. The saw made short work of cutting this 3″ tree trunk in about 5 minutes. I am very happy that I again have a saw which I can use to lop off branches from the trees around my property. I previously had a Macallister cordless saw, but the batteries would not charge after about 2 years and I could not find replacements. Hopefully these batteries will be better being lithium ion batteries instead on nickel cadmium which the previous ones were. At the price this looks like very good value for money.
