10-24-23 Bowsaw 24In

Quickly and easily cuts through a wide range of wood with no wobble and little exertion. Makes light work of bucking logs in areas where using a chainsaw isn't ideal. I opted for the 30in not only for longer cutting strokes but also because it comfortably rests on my shoulder with the handle perfectly aligned with my hand when on the move. Well-made and highly recommended.

Bahco is a brand I trust, and their tools are generally robust and good value for money - this bowsaw is no different. I purchased the 30 inch version, and it's perfectly possible to fell and cut up medium sized tree with it. I do like the special saw blade that comes with it, and is designed for green wood. It has additional gaps to prevent the teeth becoming clogged whilst sawing live, moist wood. I bought a selection of spare blades for my saw too, including blades for both live and seasoned wood. Choosing the correct blade for your task makes an enormous difference. Another excellent feature is the adjustable tensioning screw, which is superior to the non adjustable lever found on most bow saws. Lastly, the finger guard is a real bonus, because however experienced you are, bashing your knuckles during vigorous sawing is a hazard. Not any longer. I've seen enough life altering chainsaw accidents to persuade me that manual wood sawing is preferable. Besides that, a bowsaw has nothing to go wrong, is way cheaper, and requires no fuel. Yes, it requires more effort, but exercise is good for you, and I'm not risking losing a limb, or worse. To my mind this excellent bowsaw basic kit for preppers, or anyone with a garden. Coupled with my wonderful Silky saw (also available at Amazon) it's all I need for cutting firewood and maintaining my trees.

This a great saw, cuts through wet or dry logs with ease.

Really good saw, cut through a medium sized tree in about 10-15 minutes. Only issue is the blade cover, can be a little bit fiddly to replace, ended up with a big cut on my finger, so made me a bit hesitant to use again, not sure if that’s down to me not using a saw often or it’s just a bad design. Took a couple of usages to figure it out. But no complaints about its efficiency, less hassle and less money than a far more dangerous chainsaw.

I have found this to be a fantastic tool and worth every penny. I bought it as I need to saw up a lot of logs for our wood burner. I considered buying a chainsaw, but I'm very glad I saved my money. It was promptly delivered and well packaged. The blade is very easy to fit and to tension. I find the cutting performance to be easy and thorough on both old dry logs and fresh new ones. I've been using it a lot and it is still sharp and cuts brilliantly. I'm not exactly strong, but I find this saw easy to use, it is extremely sharp and well balanced, so I don't have to apply much pressure. The blade can get a bit sticky after a while, but I just apply a bit of oil to the blade. So, if you've got a lot of wood to cut then don't waste money on a chainsaw, buy this surprisingly brilliant tool for the job instead. Based on my experience with it, I cannot recommend this bow saw strongly enough.

Best saw I've had in a long time. Cuts through wet wood like butter.

I was impressed with this product, made light work of taking a tree down that had fallen on the fence, was a good 40ft long but quite thin. It was on the maximum size for the bow saw but it still worked very well. Gave a very smooth cut. It was a basic cut and drop job but none the less it saved me a considerable amount of money - the tree surgeon was going to charge at least 5x as much. It was very comfortable to use and the motion was free flowing due to the sturdiness and sharpness of the saw. Obviously not as quick as the chain saw but perfect to use one handed due to a sprained left wrist. Ladies - you may want to consider this saw if you need one as I found it to be a good weight but not heavy, it had a good grip and it was surprisingly good at getting the job done. I have subsequently used it to saw the branches off the tree and it did a good job there too and it is still sharp. Am very pleased with the product. A good buy and would not hesitate to buy again.

We had a very large willow tree come down in storm Bert and couldn't afford to get anybody into sort it out, had also bought a chainsaw but ended up using this instead as it made quick work of everything eight inches and less and I also managed to cut through over 12 inches by going at it from all sides which took time but still worked. Obviously about 12 to 14 feet of the main trunk is still laying where it fell I didn't even attempt to try that with the saw but this saw was invaluable for clearing the rest of the tree from the garden so highly recommend.

Far superior product to the slightly lower priced lookalike stuff on the market.

I highly recommend this saw. I bought one for half the price from a local big box store and I got 10% of what this saw is. It was unusable. This saw is awesome. Well balanced. Very ergonomic. Very sturdy. And the tensioning system is very easy to turn and makes the blade nice and taut for making straight precise cuts. Spend the extra and get this.

Buscando una buena sierra para nuestro jardín con muchos laureles, donde siempre hay algo para cortar, me encontré con esta ingeniosa sierra. Pensé que era algo caro. Pero seamos honestos por una sierra de cinco, diez euros no se puede pedir mucho. El mismo día que me llegó empecé a cortar la madera y el día siguiente ya tenía todo listo. Hasta los troncos de 20-25 cm corta sin mayor esfuerzo y no cansa mucho. Sólo se debería cortar la madera fresca, porque con este dentado con madera seca va peor. Pero hay otras hojas para eso. El mango de plástico es adecuado para mis manos y puedo utilizar la sierra durante mucho tiempo sin ningún punto de presión. Doy cinco estrellas. Los volvería a comprar inmediatamente.

I don't do this often... to be honest, an item has to be SO BAD to make me feel I need to publicly complain about it or SO GOOD as to make me want to tell the world about it, and neither one of those 2 happen often. Usually I order a product and I get more or less what I was expecting, within a few varying shades of better or worse than hoped for....and that's about middle of the road and I'm ok with that. This saw however..... ohmy...... We had a ton of ice and snow over the thanksgiving weekend, MANY trees in our neighborhood shed limbs under the weight of the ice and snow.... and there was MUCH cleanup to be done.... My old chain saw gives me fits.... its the new gas, they don't like to run on this 10% ethanol stuff and its harder to get it started than it should be, and runs like, well....it runs poorly once you get it cranked. I just didn't want to fool with it... not in the ice and snow... SO.... I started looking for a good bow saw, cause I didn't already have one.... who needed it when they had a chain saw? right? BUT.... as I age, I start to understand not all the old ways were bad ways.... I watched reviews, read reports and finally decided this Bahco saw was for me... It was made in Sweden not China.... and while Sweden isn't USA.... its not China..... Its also made of steel, not aluminum .......good old last forever if you take care of it steel..... The blade was tempered steel, not tin, not pot metal.... so many of these things are such junk.....no sir... this is the one your granddaddy would have pulled down off the shelf and taken home, and if he had, its the one that would still be serviceable after years of hard use..... now the part you'll never believe.... but armed with this saw.... and a Bahco clearing axe 3022 ....... I was able to clear the deadfall in my yard faster than could my young neighbor with his shiny brand spanking new chainsaw..... So much faster in fact, that once I was done, the old man took his hand tools next door to help the young'un with HIS deadfall.... and was able to process most of it before it could get his chainsaw restarted..... he finally admitted defeat and cast his brand new 300.00 chainsaw aside and took over the saw while I used the clearing axe to de-limb he would process the trunks into firewood size sticks.... The saw cuts effortlessly thru 4 and even 6 inch limbs, we estimated with no downward force at all, no pressure on the blade.... the blade chewed a depth of near 3/4 an inch per effortless stroke.... we cot 4 inch limbs in 6 strokes and 6 inch limbs in about 10 strokes with 0 pressure applied to the blade.... just effortless cutting. We have several older folks in our neighborhood and we spent most of the day processing the deadfall and the work never became hard.... we never felt we needed to take a rest break do to the ease of the work... I attribute this wholly to the quality of the saw and its wicked sharp steel blade. My young neighbor returned his chainsaw to the Depot.....and has since ordered a bow saw..... I have since ordered the smaller size to have a matching set and one that can get in smaller places.... Let me tell ya straight..... look at the price of this saw.... you need to buy one even if you don't have a use for it right now, its one of those tools that you just have to have.... its better than a chainsaw for anything but processing a full felled tree..... its dirt cheap.... not often in this day and age can you get MORE than you paid for.... This item however is exactly that. Having used it...... I'd give 3 times its asking price to replace it. Its just THAT good
