Review on Saw Set Pliers Handsaw Zinc Alloy & Copper Alloy Saw Set Tool Woodwork Hand Tools Sawset Puller DIY Accessories by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

After some modifications it is marginally useful at best

Was pretty disappointed. After seeing a bunch of positive reviews I was hopeful it would be useable out of the box. Maybe im just unlucky, but mine came with so much slop in the cylinder that locks onto the saw blade, that the piece that is supposed to push the tooth out, wouldn't actually touch the teeth of the saw. I had to take about a 1/16th piece of steel and shove it down the top of the cylinder to get it to actually push the teeth.Before, it would touch the tooth and then immediately lift up above and slide off of the tooth. Now after a while of dicking around with it, I was able to get it to slightly set some saw teeth. With it all the way on the heaviest setting, it barely sets enough to keep the saw from binding in the cut.I would recommend going on Ebay and picking up a vintage one. You can get a much better saw set for 25 bucks there.

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • The pliers may not work as well with saws that have a large number of teeth
