Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shark Corp 10-2312 12-Inch Carpentry Saw
Customer Review: first handsaw I've ever enjoyed using
Summary: 5 Stars
My only memories of hand saws were from using my dad's old 70's era push-cut beast as a kid. It was slow, difficult to control, and laborious. This has completely changed my opinion of hand cutting. It works incredibly fast on cross cuts (don't force it, just let the weight of the blade do the work) and reasonably well on rips (though seemingly a bit slower for some reason).
The handle is well designed in that the angle allows you to grip it horizontally (as you would in most circumstances) but also vertically for sawing into a board (teeth away from you) which I used to put notches in a board to make a joint. I've been reaching for it more often than power saws lately because it is quick, fast, less messy and not noisy.
Customer Review: Best small saw ever, but keep it away from nails
Summary: 5 Stars
This is far and away the best small saw I have ever used. I have a lot of experience with pruning and log cutting hand tools, and I have spent a lot of money getting saws that work well. This is not a pruning saw, I use it for carpentry, but no other saw I have used compares to this one for the smooth and fast and effortless cutting it will accomplish. But be aware, if you accidently saw a nail, this saw will self destruct, not just get dull, but actually break off the teeth. It is such a wonderful saw that I bought a replacement right away and I am very happy to take the extra care of keeping the guard on the saw and storing and using it with care, because it is such a wonderful small saw to cut with.Customer Review: Sharp as a Tack !
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, it's probably even sharper. These saws are amazing ! They cut so effortlessly and smoothly. With very little effort at all, you can cut through a thick piece of wood. What might take you twenty strokes with a traditional western handsaw, will only take half a dozen with this beauty. Next time, you're tempted to plug in your circular saw and use the extension to do some cutting outside, just pick up one of these. You never need any power, no batteries, just pure human power and there's a great sense of satisfaction when you cut a piece of wood without the use of a power tool instead of wasting energy. At least the kind of energy that can pollute our earth.Customer Review: The perfect saw
Summary: 5 Stars
Light, sharp, easy to use -- you can't run out of good things to say about this great saw. The thin blade cuts through wood, particleboard, PVC, whatever -- with virtually no effort. And the pull saw is very easy to control to get precise cuts with minimal effort. I like this saw so much I often find myself using it instead of my circular saw. A perfect tool.Customer Review: The Best Saw, Period
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had my saw for over five years and I have cut everything from bones to trees to PVC. Even with half the teeth missing it is still usable. I tried to replace it with another saw but nothing comes close. So I just ordered a replacement blade. This also makes a great backpacking saw; it's lightweight and compact with the handle removed.
