Very good fine saw for the price


At the price and for what you get i cannot complain


For what it is it is a very good value

Shipping


It took a very long time to get and would have received a 5 star from me should it had got to me a month or two earlier


I already got it before due date

Packaging/appearance


Just buy it but dont throw away the packaging its better than nothing for keeping it from attacking stray hands and fingers


I keep the saw in the original plastic packaging sleeve this is good enough for occasional use

Competitiveness


It is easier than others ive used and the size is great


I have seen similar saws produced in china and the steel used is far inferior


I have some other pull saws and they dont even remotely compare


At the price it is easily the best trim saw ive ever use

    Thinner blade went through the wood better

    I was surprised at how competent it was for decently thick pieces of hardwood like 434 diameter branches that i rip cut longways

    My next saw is going to be longer for that sort of thing with bigger teeth

    This one was great for small precision work and i think thats what its best at

    The large tooth side takes a lot more effort to cut and leaves a rougher edge
