5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible tool, November 16, 2007

By	James Birdsall (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a contractor. My wife bought this Navigator saw for use around the house. I laughed at it and called it a "girl saw". One day a few years ago we had a knotty problem cutting a large beam. I reluctantly tried the Navigator. It worked perfectly. Now we have four of them on the job sites and the guys fight over them. Cutting pipe, notching framing members, accurately slicing large beams, I just wish they had made it a bit more durable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easier than a hand saw!, January 20, 2008

By	Happy Camper "Lynda" (Albuquerque) - See all my reviews

Black and Decker PHS550B 3.4 Amp Powered Handsaw with Storage Bag

Love how much easier this saw is than a hand saw. I am a senior citizen, and I use this saw to cut up larger branches when I trim my trees into smaller bundles.

My only complaint is that I had a very hard time putting the saw blade into the slot. I didn't think the instruction on how to do that was clear at all. That is the only reason I didn't give it a higher rating. A strong man probably wouldn't like it, but it sure was what I needed. A regular hand saw would not have worked for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised, May 26, 2008

By	Dave Schinkel "Sr. Software Engineer" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed an electric saw of some sort to cut some branches off this tree overhanging our townhouse. So, I went to Lowe's and was debating between getting this one vs. another one like it by Black & Decker which was cordless, and then compared those against a reciprical saw. I don't know jack about saws...however, I didn't want to spend $100 for a reciprical if I didn't need that much power. I had anywhere from 1-5 inch branches to cut apart.

So I took this home and it plows through branches like you cannot believe. You motion it back and fourth just like a regular saw, and within about 10 seconds, you can saw a good 3-4 inch think branch like it's butter.

Highly recommended for those type of applications. Have not tried it on plastic or anything else yet but love it so far based on just that one need.
