Product Description

Amazon.com

If you've never used a pull-saw, you're probably wondering if everything you've heard about them is true. It is, especially when you're talking about this handsaw from Shark. The ancient Japanese concept of pulling to cut gives you maximum results from minimum effort. Everything about this Shark is top-notch: the shape of the teeth, thickness, balance and the coordinated angle of the teeth, blade, handle, and blade replacement system. Because these blades cut on the pull rather than the push, the blades can be thinner, lighter and more flexible than regular saw blades, and flexibility means flush cutting. The cut is uniformly accurate, clean and easy to start, and you're left with a super-thin kerf. The blade is nice and wide, so you can fearlessly guide it with just a thumb. Something about the angle of the teeth seems to clear debris better than a standard saw, too. Add to this awesome saw the pry bar that comes with it, and you cannot beat this set. We love the bar for its ultra-sharp chiseled edge and the curve that gets you into the tightest spots. It's certainly the thinnest flat bar we've seen, great for prying off trim and molding with virtually no damage to the surrounding wall or the molding itself. We can imagine putting this to good use as a paint scraper, staple and nail puller, carpet remover, tile remover… the list goes on and on. We are impressed.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

The saw is very accurate. With a single thumb edge on the center of the blade to keep it straight up, you can cut a perfect angle with this saw. Blade removal replacement makes it even more desireable. These are Japanese saws. The Shark company products are available in a lot of stores, so it is not a come and go product.
The thing I am really excited about is the small pry bar. I was doing a few odd jobs around the house. I removed some flaking plaster in the ceiling of one room, using the large flat although curved (fortunately) chiseling end. It did a superb job. Then I went into the kitchen and needed to replace the weatherstripping on the kitchen door. The flat part of the chisel made quick work of removing the old weatherstrip. Then the stubborn brad nails came right out using the other end with the pry-nail removal combination.
The unique thing about this tool, is that it is not anywhere near as large as the Stanley pry bar we all, or most of us use. Yet it is large enough to do the job. Makes it comfortable to keep in a belt pouch. It truly is something you will use again and again.
The price is an advantage also, if you consider the price of the individual pieces, it is quite a saving to buy them in this combo pack.
It is especially useful for someone who does trim work, but is far to useful in any number of ways, so as to recommend it too highly to any one service. Buy it, you won't be sorry. It will become one of you top favorite tools. Hope this was helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Combo of Quality Tools!, July 7, 2000

By	Al the Pal "Al the Pal" (The Fruited Plain, United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Shark Corp 58-9018 Fine Cut Saw and 8-Inch Prybar Combo Pack (Tools & Hardware)

Toolpig was right! I had to move an interior door so I sent for this set to get the prybar. It made removing the moldings a breeze. I was able to reuse them around the door at its new location. The curved blade will get under the molding with only a light "tap," and the curve of the blade will gently lift the molding, the load spread across its 2" width. The nail puller is great on those busted off finish nails - one "tap" to set the claw into the base of the protruding nail stub, then pry it out.

I have other Japanese pull saws, but the Shark seems to have an edge on them. The blade is easily replaceable - just push the red button and the blade pulls out, push the blade in until it "clicks" to remount it. You won't have to do that often if you replace the plastic tooth guards supplied with the saw after each use. They pull off easily perpendicular to the blade, but you will have to slide them along the edge of the blade to get them back on. (They look kind of like those plastic paper binding strips you used on a term paper.) The saw has fine teeth on one side (crosscut) and large teeth on the other (ripcut). Both leave a smooth cut that hardly needs sanding.

You won't be disappointed with either tool and you will save a few bucks buying the combo!
