Review: Great Quality - Bought to replace one that I bought about 40 years ago!! The usual Eclipse great quality, works even better than the last one, just great. Used to cut all sorts of materials and it copes. Handle can be adjusted to multiple angles relative to the blade for convenience. Works well. Easy to use.
Review: Brilliant - An absolutely brilliant tool. I used it to alter some pallets to make a compost bin. It cut through the nails and screws far better than my hacksaw. Highly recommended

An absolutely brilliant tool. I used it to alter some pallets to make a compost bin. It cut through the nails and screws far better than my hacksaw. Highly recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Demolition saw
*by R***E on 29 April 2022*

I use these to cut through rusted screws when removing fence panels. This allows the panel to be reused when the rotted posts are replaced. It's a great saw for this as the blade is thick and cuts anything.
