Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shark 10-2205 Trim/Detail Double Edge Saw
Customer Review: FLAWED DESIGN, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Summary: 1 Stars
FLAWED DESIGN, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I was looking for a saw to cut some door and window shims flush. I purchased this saw based on the positive reviews. However, I am extremely disappointed.
I had read how the blade can come loose, but I assumed if I tightened the red retaining screw and was patient I would see success; no such luck. The blade would continuously come completely out of the shaft rendering it useless.
The problem is the basic design is flawed. The blade has an open ended forked tongue -< which slides into the shaft. The blade is then secured to the shaft with a red plastic retaining screw. Because this type of saw cuts on the pull, the combination of an open ended blade tongue and plastic retaining screw generate inadequate force to keep the blade firmly attached to the handle, even using a light touch when cutting the blade comes out of the shaft.
The saw design is so flawed it cannot perform its basic function, therefore I am being forced to return it for a refund, (my first return ever).
UPDATE: I was finally able to secure the blade using a pair of pliers to tighten the blade retaining bolt; so I kept it. However I stand by my initial assessment, the blade retaining mechanism is flawed, and I do not recommend this product. The manufacturer should redesign the blade retention mechanism to be more like the Milwaukee utility kit's Quik-Lok blade system: [...]
Customer Review: Fantastic saw
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought my second 10-2205 saw. I just about completely wore the first one out. I like this one a lot better than it's bigger brother. I don't understand why many other posters have a problem with the blade popping out. There is more than just a screw holding the blade in.... there's also a round hole in the blade that accepts a washer that's part of the retaining assembly. Either way, I've never had the blade pop out. The cutting edges are extremely sharp, and there are too many uses to try and list them all. The two different teeth-per-inch on either side is also very useful. I'll keep buying these saws as long as they keep making them.Customer Review: It's sharp!
Summary: 3 Stars
A great little saw. Have used it a lot and find it is keeping it's edge well, even though I've been cutting oak, ply, glue, etc., etc.
My big problem with it (and the only reason it doesn't get five stars from me) is that the handle does tend to pull off - which is a serious issue on a back saw like this. I've no doubt I'll figure out some way of preventing this (maybe fine sandpaper on lower part of the blade? maybe make another handle?), but the handle design itself should be better.
Still, its a good, sharp blade and I think worth the $$$.
Customer Review: Does the job, but dangerous to use
Summary: 3 Stars
I use this saw to undercut the door frames when installing laminate floor. The sharpness and thinness of the blade makes it an ideal tool--but with a "catch". The screw that keeps the blade with the handle gets loosen almost every time, no matter how much I tighten it. The blade can dangerously fly off as a result, and I hurt myself from a cut the first time this happened. People be aware!Customer Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's amazing when you can find a great tool at a low price. This saw holds an edge and cuts through hardwood like a hot knife through butter. VERY small kerf. The other user is right, it's a perfect saw for cutting fret slots if you are a luthier. It's an awesome dovetail saw. If you are getting into dovetailing then you will be very pleased at this saw's performance.
