Review on 12-Inch Straight Blade Hand Saw With Razor Teeth And Bonus Holster - Altuna Pruning Saw by Kyle Rose

A Hand Saw That's Just Alright: Altuna's 12-Inch Straight Blade Pruning Saw

I recently got my hands on Altuna's 12-Inch Straight Blade Hand Saw, and after using it for some pruning work in my yard, I have to say that I'm feeling a bit on the fence about it. On one hand, the saw's razor teeth made quick work of cutting through thicker branches, and the overall quality of the tool seemed quite sturdy and durable. Plus, the included holster was a nice added bonus, making it easy to keep the saw handy while working. However, there were a few downsides that I couldn't help but take note of. Firstly, the blade itself felt a bit shorter than I would have liked, which made it slightly challenging to cut through certain pieces of wood. Additionally, I found myself having to apply a lot of pressure to get the saw to bite into the wood, which could be tiring over time. Finally, while the holster was a nice idea, it wasn't quite as functional as I would have hoped - I would have preferred a holster that allowed me to easily clip the saw onto my belt rather than having to thread it through a loop. Overall, I'd say that the Altuna 12-Inch Straight Blade Hand Saw is a decent tool, but not one that's blowing me away. If you need a saw for occasional or light pruning work, this one could do the trick - but if you're looking for something heavy-duty or professional-grade, you might need to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • The bonus holster allows for easy and convenient storage and transport, making it perfect for professional landscapers and home gardeners alike
Cons
  • The bonus holster that comes with the saw may not be of the highest quality. Some users have reported that the holster appears flimsy and may not hold up to frequent use over time. This could be a detractor for users who are looking for a durable and reliable holster to carry their saw
