Should you buy it?
Buy If:
- You want an affordable saw that cuts cleanly and quickly for branches and small boards.
- You need a comfortable, non slip handle that reduces hand strain during longer jobs.
- You are a smaller user or senior who needs an easy to handle, compact saw.
- You value built in ruler and 45°/90° guides for faster, more accurate cuts.
Don’t Buy If:
- You need a tool built for heavy, professional daily use; long term durability is unclear.
- You require guaranteed razor sharp teeth or extra blade stiffness
- You need high TPI/PPI or a replaceable blade for precision work.
- You plan to cut very thick hardwoods often; performance for that is not well supported.
This saw is a strong choice for DIYers, gardeners, and seniors who want a sharp, comfortable, low cost tool with handy measuring guides.
If you need proven long term durability, exact blade specs, or consistently stiff professional blades, consider a more heavy duty saw.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What materials can it cut?
The product description and multiple reviewer reports show it cuts wood (including green wood), tree branches and small limbs, boards (examples: 2×6), laminate, and PVC.
Reviewers specifically mention garden branches, kindling, and household boards, so those are confirmed in real use.
Is this saw good for pruning?
Yes for light pruning. Several reviewers say the saw makes quick work of branches and small tree limbs, and users reported easy cutting of limbs.
Because the blade is 16 in long and the handle is ergonomic, it is convenient for yard work and pruning small to medium branches.
For large trunks or heavy, frequent professional pruning, long term performance is not proven and one review reported blunt teeth and low blade stiffness, so results may vary.
Does this saw have a rust-resistant coating?
Yes, the blade is made of SK5 carbon steel with a black Teflon coating. The coating reduces friction during cuts and helps protect the steel from rust and corrosion.
Does this saw have a comfortable grip?
Yes, it features an ergonomic handle made of ABS and TPE materials. The handle is non-slip and cushioned to reduce hand pressure, making it more comfortable for extended cutting tasks.
