BLACK+DECKER Powered Hand Saw Jigsaw Autoselect Scorpion 23mm Stroke Length and Prune 500W with Kitbox Includes 3 Blades RS890K-GB

For the price that I paid for it at the time (£35), this was an excellent buy. I've not got round to using the jig saw facility yet, but have used the straight cutting saw for quite a few different jobs, and found it performed well. None of them were large jobs, or particularly difficult, I cut about 10 thin wood off-cuts, cut through two or three 4 x 4s, and have made a lot of cuts, (upwards of 70) through 21.5 mm pvc (solvent weld) pipe, and have just had to change the blade the first time. It does sometimes vibrate a bit, but it's manageable, and I'm a not particularly strong woman. The only thing I don't like is the safety feature on the on/off switch: you've got to depress one button and flip the other switch at the same time, and both are quite stiff to operate, so I find it difficult to do this with one hand. Because I need to hold them with quite a lot of strength for my puny grip, I don't think it makes it very safe at all, as I've found, when needing to let go quickly that I'm holding the saw in such a death-grip that I don't instinctively let go, but need to consciously make myself let go. So if I needed to quickly stop the blade, say because I was accidentally sawing into my foot, I can see myself taking just that little bit too long. For me, it would be safer if it needed less of a grip to operate, but then it will probably still mostly be men using these, and who'll probably not have this problem unless their grip is as weak as mine. I find it easy to change the blades, and changing from straight cut to jig saw is also quite straight forward. There's a little location pin, which needs a flat-head screwdriver to adjust, if it's not in the correct position, but which normally only needs to be done once. The instructions are basic but sufficient, showing how to change the blade etc, and giving recommended depths for cutting different materials, which are: 100 mm for wood, 3 mm for steel and 50 mm for plastic or pruning branches. So this is not a heavy-duty saw, but good for general DIY jobs around the house and garden. The other drawback with this saw is that only B&D blades will fit, and only those for this particular saw model number. But based on my experience so far, they last a reasonable time, depending on what you're cutting. If you were cutting lots of really hard and/or thick wood, the blade will probably not last especially long, but you'll get a good few cuts. I don't know whether this saw would still be such good value at £15 more than I paid for it, though, so while I'd recommend it, not sure it's worth £50, compared to others on the market. Suppose it still works out cheaper than buying a reciprocating and a jig saw separately, though, if you need both but one or both only for occasional use - that's what really made this attractive for me: I will need the jig saw at some point for a job I've had planned for ages now, but after that, I might not need one again for a long time, so it didn't seem worth buying two separate saws for such occasional use. The other thing missing on this is a vacuum attachment for the dust. Otherwise, am really happy with this, and not sure how well those vacuum attachments work anyway, so have still given this 5 stars.

I bought this mainly for garden jobs like cutting up logs for firewood and pruning some large shrubs. It made light work of them. Saves so much time and effort. I have a section of laurel which had gone years without a chop. Last time I cut it back it took ages with a hand pruning saw and is very hard work. This scorpion saw saves all that time and effort, I got so much done in no time and cut what i could ready to burn. Ive used it on some very thick branches and with just a little pressure and sawing movement the tool does a great job. I think the key is not to be heavy handed and force it. Wish I got one years ago, brilliant little thing. I also like the kit box and alternative blades. Not sure if I will ever use the jigsaw function but clever that it has this option. Highly recommended. I have now owned this for 3 years and its had a lot of use but I broke it cutting a stump out. The blade clamp broke off inside. I found a part online for £5 and replaced it myself, a bit difficult getting the screws out as manufacturers don't like you to do your own fixes, I was happy to buy another saw but thought I would try and fix it as it was a cheap part and I now have a saw as good as new again. I really should replace the blade, its still the original one and still works well. To fix it you will need a new blade clamp which will come with 2 self tapping screws and a long thin torx security screw driver, or as in my case you tube and a have a go attitude. Its been a great buy and is ready for another year or 3.

Despite already owning a Worx reciprocating electric saw (the more cylindrical-looking types of saws with a longer blade protruding from the front), this Black & Decker electric saw has proved to be a real boon for me to cut timber of around a thickness of 4" (eg the larger type of square fence post). That's because it's so lightweight and therefore easily manageable. You are likely to need a saw of this kind for cutting as, for example, a jigsaw usually has a limited depth cutting capability and saws such as these give you a straighter, more easily achieved, cut vs something like a circular saw.... *** The Amazon 'Tech Details' are misleading : 1. The 'item' weight refers to the ALL the saw items, cable/plug, blades, paperwork and case (which this 'EK' version includes - and very handy it is too !). 2. The saw unit itself weighs just 1.6kg. minus the cable/plug - as in use you're not usually going to be 'heaving that' ! In comparison to my Worx saw, which weighs an eye-watering 8kg, you can see why this 'lightweight' is an excellent alternative when the weight of the saw is not that vital (it helps force the blade down with more demanding cuts...). Yes, it's largely made of plastic so not as robust either, but in those less demanding situations that is no biggie and means I'm not left exhausted after a cutting 'session' having previously been required to hefting around hold/carry around an 8kg 'lump' ! It's lighttness has proved especially useful when 'attacking' unwanted branches etc, when I need to wander around inside the wooded areas of my garden border to lop/shorten trees. The main reason I bought this saw was because it was on offer as an Amazon 'Lightning Deal' at a price of £24.99 - something of a bargain as more recent repeat offers have been somewhat higher, but after some use I think I'd be tempted if it were going to cost a bit more than I paid for the positive reasons I've mentioned.... The only 'downer' is that a replacement main blade is around the £10 mark, so in my case nearly 50% of what the whole kit cost in the first place - this means I'll use it when absolutely necessary vs my Worx, as very capable blades for that can be got for about £1.50 !!! I think I can see where Black & Decker aim to make most of their profit - minus 1-star for that.....! So, for general cutting requirements I can thoroughly recommend this little beauty - it's notably lightweight and with a sharp blade should be able to deal with most 'average' tasks such as those I mentioned. Even at a 'normal' Amazon price of around £35 I think it's a good purchase, especially as there's little to compete with it at that price level.

لا لا لا انصح ..لايوجد قطع غيار فالسعودية ...رح المحلات وخذ منشار معروف وتاكد انه متوفر منشار له في حال خرب او انكسر

ممتاز وقوي كما في الوصف قطعة يستحق اقنائها

Tadellose Handsäge. Säge ist ein Ersatz für eine defektes Altgerät. War mit dem Handlöing und dem Schnittergebnis dieser Säge bisher immer sehr zufrieden. Säge läßt saubere Schnitte ohne Hilfsmittel zu, da sie ziemlich ruckfrei schneidet. Lieferung der Säge in einem Set mit verschiedenen Messern in einem robusten Kunststoffkoffer und mitgeliferte DE/AT Steckeradapter. Der Umfang des Adapters entspricht genau dem Original UK Stecker, somit gibt's kein vorstehen etc. und deswegen sicherlich kein Handlingsnachteil. Lieferung und Mailverkehr hierzu wie immer einwandfrei.

C'est la 3eme scie que je possede.. la premiere etait un cadeau que j'ai beaucoup aprecié et utilise.. Elle a rendu l'ame apres 6 ans de loyaux services. J'en ai achete une autre de suite et l'utilise encore., La troisieme j'en ai fait cadeau a ma mere pour faire les petits traveaux de sa maison. Excellent outils, pratique, fonctionnel, en scie egoine ou en scie sauteuse. ca evite d'avoir a utiliser des scie circulaire qui sont vraiment dangereuse. La scie Scorpion permet de tout couper sauf les gros arbres ou les grosses pieces de bois. et pour le prix c'est super.. domage que le nouveau model soit plus gros plus chers et pas mieux !

Innanzitutto fantastico il prezzo amazon di 54€ che è esattamente meno della metà del prezzo che offrono le grandi catene del settore (Bricofer,...) da volantino in offerta. Fantastico soprattuto questo seghetto che ha superato le mie +rosse aspettative!! A vederlo in foto sembra molto plasticoso e fragile ma in realtà è solidissimo! Il primo giorno l'ho utilizzato subito per tagliare travetti da 7cm per un ora di seguito, e si è comportato alla grande- non scalda e non si scalda neanche la lama che rimane sempre supertagliente ed efficiente! Ottimo prodotto! lo consiglio assolutamente!!
