Bought for pruning the garden, that is, branches. It is impossible to work: vibration, jamming on branches of any thickness. It is impossible to cut accurately - it jumps off, the cut is not even. As a result, the tree only hurts, do not smear with pitch, since the cut is all "torn". Where there is a fork of branches, it is impossible to work, just do not crawl to where you need to saw off a branch. And besides pruning the garden, it will not work anywhere: it is sharpened for round branches, the emphasis is also for round branches. You can only saw off the handle from a shovel, but in view of the shortcomings described above, this will not work either. I would put -5, but it turned out to put only 1. I constantly take tools and household appliances from Bosch, but they let us down with this model: uncomfortable, does not cope with its function in any way. I bought it, tried it and handed it back to the store, got the money. Do not buy! Bought for advertising and price. Useless thing. For pruning the garden, it is better to buy a special high-quality folding semicircular hacksaw: it will be both better and faster! And for thin branches up to 2 cm - a siccator (this saw cannot cope with such branches!).
