This little handsaw is truly a power horse. Of course I am not surprised…it’s a Black and Decker. I had a large flowering bush that I needed to cut down and in less than a hour it was down and the pieces cut up so that I could dispose of them…Oh, yeah, did I mention that I am a woman and I loved this just as much as everyone else. I also live in a small rural town where it is very hard to find people willing to do these projects…so you have to find a way to do them yourself. Looking for more things to cut down.

I completely wore out my first saw like this and felt lost without it. Ordered this one and am very pleased! When I have something to cut quickly and simply I grab this saw and….job’s done!

Just purchased this saw and I am a 74-year-old woman. I have a yard that certainly needed a handy little saw to cut what I needed cutting without totally destroying my wrists with Arthritis. I knew when I saw this saw, in comparison to the rechargeable ones, that this was the one I wanted and boy, was I right. Today is the first time I used it and was not disappointed at all. Knew it was the strength I needed in comparison and am so totally satisfied. With the help of Amazon and making my search easier more than I could have imagined and letting me read some of the reviews, I was confident in my choice. As for putting the blades in and out, believe me, if a 74 year old woman can figure out such a simple process, I am sure you also, will be able to tackle such a easy task. Actually, it was so simple that I wondered why so many people complained. Anyway, if you don’t buy this little saw, you will be sorry!! As a side note – Amazon’s packaging and speed of delivery is unbelievable for the price; standard shipping took 3 days, can you imagine?

I found the saw small enough to be handy for small jobs. It’s my first power saw. It did what I needed to do with it. Just have to figure out what I am doing wrong to cause it to vibrate so much sometimes.

Great idea but very Poor design. Out of the box, mine was defective in

that, just loading the blade wasn’t possible?
