I bought this as it looked like it would do the trick to cut up old wood from a bed for repurposing and it was so easy to use, it worked great! I have arthritis in my hands, wrists and shoulders so find conventional saws difficult whereas this was a lot easier for me to hold and navigate, would recommend! I also used it to trim the branches in my garden tree and it was just as easy

 

This is so versatile, adjustable blade that locks securely in place at various angles extremely sharp, I used this to cut through tree trunks approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and it sailed through them, when finished, the blade folds away in the handle, nice and safe. Extremely pleased with it.

 

ecently moved into a house with a large garden that had numerous multi stemmed bushes and trees which had all been left unpruned for a number of years.
This saw has made light work of everything i’ve asked it to do so far, from cutting out small branches to even sawing through a couple of trunks that were about 100mm – 125mm thick (although this was a little harder to do).
It’s safety lock works well and it’s easy to hold with a handle that has good grip and fits the hand well. Even the colour is useful as it’s easy to find when you’ve put it down while working under bushes.
Very pleased with it so far, it’s done a lot of work and is still sharp.

 

I’ll be honest and start this review by saying that I use this in a different capacity than most – This sits in my bergen and is used to process firewood when I’m doing bushcraft.

Sizing wise, I didn’t expect it to be as big as it is, usually when something looks big in the pictures, it’s smaller in person… Not this, I’d probably say the pictures make it look smaller than it actually is, which isn’t a big deal.

It’s also sharp, the blade is easy to change, and there’s multiple locking positions whilst the saw is in use, if your cack handed like myself, it’s a useful feature.

Ergonomics, I don’t find it overly comfortable to use – I’m used to using axes, hatchets and large knives to process wood, so that might be why I’m struggling with the hand position on the saw, although saying that, it does seem better suited to people with large hands than medium or small hands.

For the price, your getting a sturdy bit of kit, which will more than do the job, so in that sense you can’t go wrong.

If you’ve got smaller hands, I’d suggest looking for something slightly smaller in size though.

 

Just saved myself a small fortune by pruning and cutting down my overgrown cherry tree which had grown to 18 feet high. Using a sturdy ladder, I firstly lopped off the smaller side shooting branches and those which had sprouted straight up in the air with a pair of strong tree loppers to reveal the main thick branches of the tree. These were fairly substantial branches over 6 inches in circumference and this little miracle tree saw soon made light work of the whole tree. It truly is an unbelievable piece of kit cutting through the branches with hardly any effort at all. The secret of success in not to work hard at cutting through the branches but to let the extremely sharp saw do the work for you. Just rest the teeth of the saw on the branch and just move the saw back and forth and once you get into a rhythm the saw cuts effortlessly through the wet wood of the tree. Best purchase I’ve made in years for so small a price. Can’t praise this little gem enough but watch out…..this saw is not for leaving out around the home or garden as it is a 3 teeth set cutter and makes Jaws look like a goldfish in comparison as it is so sharp and made of quality materials. Comfortable to hold and use so no aching hands and arms and you don’t feel as if you’ve done the London Marathon a couple of time either. I’m 72 years old and the whole project was a doddle with this cutter even for me at my age !
