Indespensible tool Nov 16, 2007 By James Birdsall
I am a contractor. My wife bought this Navigator saw for use around the house. I laughed at it and called it a "girl saw". One day a few years ago we had a knotty problem cutting a large beam. I reluctantly tried the Navigator. It worked perfectly. Now we have four of them on the job sites and the guys fight over them. Cutting pipe, notching framing members, accurately slicing large beams, I just wish they had made it a bit more durable.

Easier than a hand saw! Jan 20, 2008 By Happy Camper "Lynda"
Black and Decker PHS550B 3.4 Amp Powered Handsaw with Storage Bag

Love how much easier this saw is than a hand saw. I am a senior citizen, and I use this saw to cut up larger branches when I trim my trees into smaller bundles.

My only complaint is that I had a very hard time putting the saw blade into the slot. I didn't think the instruction on how to do that was clear at all. That is the only reason I didn't give it a higher rating. A strong man probably wouldn't like it, but it sure was what I needed. A regular hand saw would not have worked for me.

Works as advertised May 26, 2008 By na
I needed an electric saw of some sort to cut some branches off this tree overhanging our townhouse. So, I went to Lowe's and was debating between getting this one vs. another one like it by Black & Decker which was cordless, and then compared those against a reciprical saw. I don't know jack about saws...however, I didn't want to spend $100 for a reciprical if I didn't need that much power. I had anywhere from 1-5 inch branches to cut apart.

So I took this home and it plows through branches like you cannot believe. You motion it back and fourth just like a regular saw, and within about 10 seconds, you can saw a good 3-4 inch think branch like it's butter.

Highly recommended for those type of applications. Have not tried it on plastic or anything else yet but love it so far based on just that one need.

Blade Installation Sep 16, 2010 By Mary Sparrowdancer "Author, investigative journalist, columnist."
It took me about an hour to finally figure out how to install the blade. The problem is that apparently the locking pin is sometimes in the wrong position upon arrival at our homes. The oval opening in the blade will only fit over the oval locking pin if the locking pin is in the right position. Use a flat-head screw driver to rotate the locking pin (easily seen through viewing opening in the housing), until the oval locking pin is in the right position to allow you to place the blade opening on top of it. At this point, the blade will be at a 90-degree angle to the machine housing, tip pointing downward. Push/pull the blade upward until it locks into place. Hope this helps. (Happy Birthday, John.)

Great Tool Mar 27, 2008 By Joanna C. Ahearn
As others have said, "This is a great tool" As a woman, some of the tools I see and try to use are either a) too awkward and/or b)weight to much. I love this handsaw - it is lightweight, easy to use and the cuts are great! I first used it on piping (copper, pvc) the cuts are nice and clean. I also have used this on my Elm trees for triming and the such, just great-my guy friends and co-workers laughed when I first got this and now they borrow it a lot!
