lidl's folding hand saw. 2.99!

[Big T]

Hiya,

Just bought a folding hand saw in lidl's, on their "weekly offers" section. Cost 2.99! First impressions are good, has a nice locking blade that looks very similar to the blade on my Silky Zubat arborist hand saw! Cuts very well and seems very well made! Worth checking out if your in the market for a folding saw!

I bought a couple of these several years ago, a fine and a medium blade. Have to say, for the money they're excellent. I still use mine quite regularly and although the blades are past their best, they still cut well enough for most day to day jobs.

hello,
Great saw BTW value for money & if you lose it well your not losing a more expensive saw are you? I use one for general jobs around the campfire or out & about. Got a possible 'trade' with a NBC member on 1 of 2 I have spare from a batch I was given. 1 left :wink:
Regards

Hi guys, I have a multitude of these. Two in the bergen in case one breaks, one in the car (you never know) and some spares for friends.
Always pick one or two of these up when I'm in Aldi or Lidl. Think I'm obsessed!

Also have a similar one from asda but this one has a 13.5 inch blade and sheath - think I paid £3 or £4 - feel like I could cut down a forest with it! :jumping-joy:

Got 2 of these last year ,a fine tooth and a medium tooth, both still going strong.

I'll have to have a look in my local shop they look pretty good to me and everyone speaks well of them so they must be a buy.

[midas]

Saw through bone too!if youve got any butchery to do!

[NorthernYeti]

got mine for 99p in the bargan bucket they chuck all the odds in best 99p ive spent in years!

I started out with one, and I couldn't fault them really. I use the wee saw more than most do, as it's invaluable to have a decent saw when collecting a lot stick shafts (I have to work 2 years ahead of myself as I can't dry them any quicker). I use a laplander now but it's like GB axes you only really benefit from it if you use them a lot. So if your only cutting the odd wee bit it will serve you well.

Mine cut in both directions.!!!Lock open n shut.

Excellent. I'm not sure why so many pruning saws cut on the pull stroke. Massive waste of energy.
Mind you, maybe its because of idiots like me who lean out from a ladder to reach a branch. Much more likely to fall when pushing than when pulling I guess.

[roger352]

Just got home picked up 4 lidl folding great little saws for the money.

[Bernie]

Aye, they make good gifts for gardeners and outdoor people. (Got myself one today) :)

[Pootle]

I went back and picked up a second day one... already given one away.

[David_JAFO]

hello,
Well-done Pootle. I've done similar both within the NBCommunity & offline. Least I could do as an input to the NBCUK.
