Shark Corp 10-2440 Fine Cut Saw

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This flexible fine-cut saw is great for cabinet work, flush cutting (dowels), general fine cutting, mitering, plywood, stair systems, and undercuts (door jam/casings). It can be used for flexed or flush cutting and features the pull-to-cut method for faster, cleaner, easier, and safer sawing. The pull-saw teeth have three cutting edges that are precision diamond-cut, not merely stamp-cut. The saw handle is weather-resistant high-impact ABS plastic. A red push button, which works on a single-push action, easily engages or releases the blade for replacement or for compact storage. The 9-1/2-inch blade has 17-teeth per-inch on one side and 9 per-inch on the other.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Saw - Crappy Handle, August 19, 2001

This review is from: Shark Corp 10-2440 Fine Cut Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

Let me start by saying that I love this saw, not like, love. The best saw I've ever owned in over 15 years of framing. I've used this saw over the past year on post and beam joinery, finishing custom homes, renovations, commercial and industrial jobs and it just keeps on amazing me. It cuts cleaner than any push saw I've ever owned and it does so while getting into places I just couldn't get to with a conventional saw. Be careful with this baby however, because this is one razor sharp saw that will remove meat from your fingers if you don't treat her with the respect that she's due. One of my all time favorite tools, period. So you must be asking yourself, if he loves this saw so much why did he only give it 4 stars instead of 5 stars?. Simple, the saw is great but the cheesy plastic handle is bad, really bad. It broke after only 1 week and I've had to bandage it back together with tape several times to keep it working. The problem is with the cheap, hollow plastic handle that is so lightweight that it tends to split in half the first time that the blade binds on you. I've seen the latest incarnation of this saw and they have beefed up the handle and reinforced it with a steel core so that should solve the problem. Make sure you get the new handle or it's going to be a sad case of Caveat Emptor for you just as it was for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Saw for All Tpes of Work, December 22, 1999

This review is from: Shark Corp 10-2440 Fine Cut Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have had this saw for several years and have used for both fine cabinetwork and for cutting 2x4s. It is amazing how fast and how fine it cuts. I prefer it rather than my regular handsaws for almost all work. The only problem I have had is that the handle is getting loose so I would not recommend getting the extra blade. I do need a new blade because it does not seem to cut nails very well.

I write a tool review column for an online magazine and also a bimonthly printed magazine. I am going to write a featured report on these saws. I can actually cut a kerf faster with this hand saw than I can with a jigsaw with a famous Swiss made blade.

Saws of this caliber should cost much more. I can also assure everyone that the handle problem is no longer a problem. I have one warning though. This saw is an extremely sharp professional tool and not for any type of play or monkey business. Make sure that this saw is put away around children.

I can say without any reservations that this saw should be in every woodworkers tool box. If you don't have one buy it now because it is the best deal on this site.
