    OT: Extolling the Japanese pull saw

    If anyone needs to cut down tree branches of almost any size and does not have a pull saw, you are missing out. This little $10 gem has cut down a ton of wood for me over the course of a few years. It cuts quickly and easily and safely. There is little chance of cutting off the tip of your finger with this gas and electric free gadget. I don't know about Hershell though.

    Does this have any advantages over a regular handsaw, which I use quite a bit?

      Like night and day, Tony. It is called a pull saw because it does most of the cutting on the pull. The teeth are configured to cut deeply with minimal effort.

    Fmd,
    Where can you get it for $10? EBay sells for $20 plus.
    Thanks,

    You're a better man than I am if you're cutting 8" trunks with a hand saw. It would take me 3 growing seasons to get 1 tree down.

        I agree with the pull saws. They lit you use your strength on the pullcut and do the job. I've used them for years just not a harbor freight one.

          Same concept is used in fine wood craftsmanship. There it is called a backsaw.

            Also many pruning saws...
            The 10" pull saw cuts larger caliper branches much easier compared to my Ars18 pruning saw.

          Not to be confused with SKS from Eastern Europe!
