Very awesome energy saving saw
5 Stars
Very awesome energy saving saw
I can't think of anything I dislike about this straight Silky PocketBoy saw with large teeth and a 6.7 inch blade length. I live on a small tree farm, and I recently had a number of trees cut down by someone with a chain saw. Now I'm using the PocketBoy to saw up the limbs on the ground. I literally sit down on the ground with my limbs and have at it with my handy PocketBoy.I used it one time to cut down a very small tree (no more than two inches in diameter) to ground level. It performed great at that too, although a curved PocketBoy might work better for that type of task.This PocketBoy was my starter saw among the Silky brand of saws. My training is nearly complete. Lessons learned:1. This saw is energy saving because very little effort is required. The saw does most of the work.2. Silky saws are fast, a testament to the effectiveness of the blade. If you want a slow saw, buy something else.3. It is designed to cut only on the pull, and I barely use any pressure against the wood on the pull. On the push, I use no pressure against the wood, only pressure to move the saw back into position for the next pull. It takes a little practice to learn the Silky saw way.Still on my to do list is to learn how to clean my Silky saws.I now have five Silky saws in my collection: the professional 21-ft extendable pole saw, the professional series KatanaBoy 500, the BigBoy 2000 with extra large teeth, the Zubat professional 330 with large teeth, and the PocketBoy 346-17 reviewed here.All of them are AWESOME, and I like the fact that the blades are replaceable.
