This is a quality saw, flexible and with very fine cut for many difficult tasks
This is an excellent saw and works very well for small and intricate jobs. Very pleased with it.
Light and cuts well. Not terribly robust but it is not designed for heavy use. great for small trimming such as projecting dowel plugs.
A tool that is very useful in a tight space. Used to cut a piece of MDF in a cupboard that a conventional saw would have been too large to use. Won’t use it often but know it’s there if needed.
As a one off purchase to do just 2 jobs it’s a bit expensive.
It’s accurate as long as the bottom of the blade is supported. Otherwise as it’s so thin it bends at the handle end.
Brought this to repair cabinets in the kitchen. I needed to cut dowels down flush with the surface of the cabinet side. This is very sharp and easy to use. The saw gives a great finish that requires minimal sanding after the cut is made. I have other Stanley tools and they are all very good quality.
Having recently needed to do some diy work I read about “pull saws” but they seemed a bit OTT for what I needed. I saw this and watched a couple of videos on YT. I went ahead and bought it and it has proved probably one of my best purchases ever, accurate, agile absolutely ideal for small and detailed cuts. One of those items that you didn’t know you needed until you got it. An essential in any toolbox.
Handy Japanese type saw to have on hand. The handle van also hold hacksaw blades and rip saw blades as well so makes for a versatile item
Bought this as a present for my girlfriends dad, who does woodwork. It is a very good tool and produces a good quality finish!
Best pull cut saw going, its cheap, new blades are everywhere and it’s flush cut. If you need a pull saw for a few jobs but don’t feel the need to go big on one, this is i
This was a massive solution to a big problem I needed to cut dowels floor level after a caravan repair but couldn’t find something that would cut flush till I found this it’s soo easy to use really chuffed
Would’ve been 5 stars otherwise. Once done works well to flush cut hardwood plugs (remember to start both sides of the plug to avoid any breakout)
Nice flexible blade which allowed me to use in confined places. For my purposes I would have liked the whole thing to be half the size (model making) but for it’s real purpose, cutting dowels flush it should be ideal.
I do wonder if some of the negative reviewers were trying to use it with a normal push action, rather than sawing on the pull stroke.
Edited: This may seem obvious, but do make sure that the piece you’re working on is rock steady or held in a vice. I was sawing a dowel on a bench that was on an uneven surface, and the rocking meant that the saw caught on the surface of the bench, leaving marks that needed to be sanded out.
I had a few (very) hard to reach dowels to trim off flush. I used a sheet of paper between the saw and the surface I was trying not to mark. I managed a pretty flush cut and resting the blade on the wood (well, paper) meant it couldn’t flex too much so it was straight. I’m not going to be using this often but great to have in the toolbox for the odd job it will come in useful. I was impressed with how sharp the blade was, it’s evil.
You couldn’t make a straight cut in any normal sized piece of wood with this. The blade is too flexible. It is for more intricate work and for work where larger saws cannot reach.
As per the title I was a little taken aback by just how flexible the blade actually is, it is thin but i did expect it to be slightly sturdier so i would recommend you are careful in storing it.
I used this to cut dowels flush in a box I am making and it did do a really good job! The dowels required the tiniest bit of sanding after but that would be necessary with any blade.
I did also test this on some shiplap panel and it went through like a knife through butter so very pleased.
Wouldn’t recommend it for any pros but for an occasional diyer with a project in mind this has done just the job it needed to.
