Unbelievable. I have been using substandard saws from Home depot for years. Blisters, erratic operation, and in general poor performance. I read the reviews on this beast and figured: "Meh, twelve bucks. I'll give it a chance." This all changed when it arrived. From the moment I opened the well packed box from Amazon, I knew something was different.
I unsheathed the noble blade from its protective cardboard cover, and immediately noticed the high quality craftsmanship involved in its birth. One could almost envision a sweaty blacksmith, laboring over the forge to craft a blade that would desiccate wood the way the warriors of old smote their enemies. The blade is twice as thick as any other saw I have purchased previously, and reinforced along the top edge. The finely crafted handle is lovingly wrapped in supple rubber, to prevent slippage and blisters. The ergonomics of the handle are flawless, allowing the hand to join seamlessly to the tool like two lovers embracing.
One I calmed myself, I put the metal to its task. I began cutting a tree to pieces so it would fit in my trash. OUTSTANDING. The wood gave beneath the mighty blade with little effort on my part, like a butter knife through...butter! It was like the saw read my mind and performed the work for me. Who was really in charge...me... or FAT MAX?!
Excellent , finely crafted piece of metal that deserves a place of honor in any mans tool collection. Five enthusiastic stars.
