Lidl are doing a folding saw for £2.99 with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty LIDL Great Britain - lidl.co.uk
I've used these professionally and they are easily as good as some saws that cost nearly ten times as much. The only thing that will blunt them quickly in my experience is when you start cutting things in the ground like roots, or if you hit a stone with them. Apart from that they just seem to go on and on, I will be buying at least 4 as I blunted my last ones a couple of years ago and keep missing them when they come up
I did prefer the old handle design though, a lot less bulky.
I've never found a Bahco tool worth a penny yet, I avoid their stuff like the plague. My Wolf Garten is still my best hand saw, they make some of the best hand tools for gardening. Never tried any Silkys
not so sure about all the Swedish stuff TBH, they do make some nice air rifles though.
will try and get one today.....thats if they got any left
I think I can see where you are coming from now Bill, these later lidl saws aren't a patch on the old ones!
Still very good for the money and I reckon will be handy for bushcraft but for my line of work, only time will tell.
I'll try to get some pics of the old and the new side by side to show you what I mean.
