I always thought it would be a good idea to have a long-life carbide tooth hand saw for pruning limbs, and cutting hard boards with nails, and sure enough I found several models using Google. Anyone have experience with these, and if so, for what uses? They are Danish, and offered by
The experience I have with Danish is for breakfast. Very tasty if they're not stale.
What you are looking at are called "reciprocating saws" or sometimes a "sawzall" - the name Milwaukee gave theirs.
There are very good for remodeling (as in cutting out "stuff"). They are also OK for metal cutting as long as precision is not required. It's usually a tool for taking stuff apart, not building new stuff. You can also do tree trimming with the right blade.
These folks have a lot of different tools and blades on that page, don't mix it up. I've never seen anyone use a masonry blade in a recip but maybe you can order a few and let us know how it works.
They taste like chicken, I hear.
