Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-07 Summary: Nice saw ... I've had my saw for several years. I use it for small (say, "tiny") jobs around the garage. I use 1/4" wood for lots of little things... they're free in the form of paint-stir boards. The Handisaw is perfect for working with this type of wood (soft). I also use it for dowels and trim but have used it for 1x2's also. I like the fact that it uses standard (and cheap) sabre saw blades and it's so easy to change from one to another. I read about certain "fixes" in some of the other comments and I decided to do them. Only ...more

Editorial Reviews [1] ... Review | It couldn't be any easier than this: a cordless hand saw that cuts wood, metal, drywall, plastic, rope and more. We like it for its grab-it-and-go convenience and because it doesn't balk at wood that's up to an inch thick. It's perfect for taming overgrown bushes and stray branches, but it also makes quick work of PVC pipes, vinyl gutters, wire shelving, wallboard, craft projects and a hundred other things. It's small and light enough for even the most petite among us to grasp it firmly with just one...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-24 Summary: Great little (not so) saw ... This saw is fairly large and takes a little getting used to. It cuts on the pull stroke and so has a very fine flexible blade. Does a great job on plain old firing and also on hardwoods. Indispensable addition to the shop although it is moderately large and takes some effort to find a good place for storage. The current handle is plastic and doesn't see to be particularly sturdy but no signs on any problems so far. A great tool but like power tools should only be used by kids with direct supervision. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Woodworkers Essential ... The Shark Corp 10-2440 Fine Cut Saw is an essential tool shop accessory for both the intermediate to expert woodworker. Because the cutting teeth are oriented on the pull stroke, you get a thinner kerf. A thinner kerf means less material to cut through so you get a finer cut with less effort. If you need to cut dowels or plugs flush to the surface, simply bend the saw on the pull and push stroke. Great for trim carpentry work as well. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-06 Summary: As promised ... It's been hanging over my workbench for three years now, always ready to make a fine cut on a small part or flush cut a dowel or plug - anything the machine tools can't get to. Great tool for the price! It's my first pull saw. It's never disappointed me. Buying another one now for a gift. ...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-14 Summary: Surprisingly Strong & Effective ... I was creating a couple of openings for new electrical sockets in my home; I had started them by drilling smaller holes around the area I needed to saw out, and though I was using a fairly sharp drill bit, it was quite a task to drill all the way through the 2-layer, 1" thick drywall I was up against. Enter Fat Max... and I mean that literally. That little sucker tore through that drywall like it was French bread, and I was done with both openings in less than five minutes, with much less effort than I expected it ...more

I make signs for a leading Beer company.I need something to cut poster board and paper, so i decided to try the skil out.It does a good job on cutting the material except it wants to lift the material towards the blade making it hard to cut a straight line.I also purchased a Black and Decker cordless sissors, that does a wonderful job cutting a straight line for less than half the price of the Skil.The Skil has an advantage though. It can cut through thicker material like coreplast ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-16 Summary: A Must Have for Cardboard boxes ... Skil 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter. Note that I only have used this item for breaking down boxes from our business shipments. I was tired of cutting down boxes using a standard box-cutter blade, for flat packing. For single-wall cartons, this cutter slices through the box folds/creases with ease, like pushing an self-powered lawnmower. For single-wall cartons, cuts not-along the box folds, are still a breeze, with minimal effort. Double-wall shipping cartons require a tad bit more effort to push the cutter, ...more
