Bahco 21 Inch Bow Saw with Extra Wet Cut Blade

Bought to cut down some branches that were overhanging into my garden - worked well

Over the last few weeks I've been slowly cutting down a 30 foot laburnum tree (that was 65-70% infected) I'd been quoted silly money by "tree surgeons" to cut down but not remove or infect the roots. So off I set with my trusty loppers and saw, however, when the branches got to over 3" I needed something with a bit more cutting edge (I don't like using a chain-saw!!) So (after a bit of research and reviews) I invested in the Bahco 21 Inch Bow Saw with Extra Wet Cut Blade What a little gem!! it made easy going of the 3" to 5" branches and although the main trunk is over 11" thick it certainly did the job with a bit of elbow grease. I'm now slowly and "organically" trying to kill off the root system. All in all (apart the time factor) I've have saved over £600 on one the tree surgeons quote!!

Purchased this bowsaw to cut back trees in the garden. I use one at work and have found them to be of good quality and pretty robust the added bonus with this item is the free extra which will certainly come in useful as the winter progresses. As I live in a rural area i carry this item in the boot of the car just in case. In sum do I like this product? ==YES. Would i recommend this product to others?==YES. Would I recommend purchasing through Amazon?===DEFINATLEY.

Nice feel to it. Handle is helpful and facilitates use. Well used to date and still sharp.

I have used the Sandvik equivalent of this saw for many years until I mislaid it. Fortunately I was recommended this make and I am glad I bought it. In short it is easy to use, lightweight, strong and cuts through branches as thick as my wrist in a matter of seconds. I haven't used it for joinery yet, but that is not why I would buy it. Rough wood, green wood that is its preferred diet. The extra blade is not a gimmick, it is really great for wet wood. If you really want to, you could probably break it through misuse, but my guess is that the blade would go first. First class.

Well made quality product, comes with two blades one for green wood and the other for dry wood. Both are sharp and are able to cut effectively. Have used the saw to clear trees which I would have previously used a chainsaw. I’m very happy with the saw and would recommend it.

I took a long while deciding which saw to purchase to do some light to medium tree pruning. Having worked as a landscape gardener's assistant 20 years ago and having used lots of different saws in the garden over the years, I can confidently say that this one is the best. Well made, solid, easy to use and comfortable to hold naturally, it is a top buy. I did also get one of those other 'fold out' type saws which was very good, but this one is the best. 5 Stars.

The saw is great and made short work of the thicket I needed to cut back. My criticism is the volume of packaging used. Now perhaps there are rules relating to putting sharp objects in the post but the box was as large as a filing cabinet and contained 30 m of brown paper and some of those air-filled bags. The saw was 580mm x 200mm x 25mm.

Excellent saw fits in-between branches very useful.
