Customer Reviews for BLACK+DECKER 3.4 Amp Powered Hand Saw

Very powerful little saw, easy to use. On switch is sometimes a little difficult to engage. Cut thru 5/8" pressed board flooring.

I was shipped this in a box that was held together by packaging tape. Two possibilities a returned item or UPS tried to save a falling apart box (it was the original box not placed inside a shipping box). New blades for sure but Saw not 100% sold it was never handled. In reviews I saw several people returned due to not being able to insert/attach blade - I think I got one of these with new packaged blades. So the next 30 min struggled with attaching blade. Saved by watching a youtube video thank you lady who made it. The metal slot inside has to be turned (knew that from reviews) but the video said you have to depress the release blade button while you turn that metal slot with the screwdriver! Got blade in no thanks to large instruction sheet from manuf. If not for the pandemic I would have taken the bus and returned this suspected returned item and exchanged for a new unopened box (none in stock in my store). I will have to count on the 2 year warranty as my safety net. The lightweight is good for my arthritic hands and cutting thicker branches my pole branch trimmer can't.

I have really had a good time being able to cut whatever I need/ no waiting on anyone

This is my second Powered Hand Saw (daughter misplaced the first one). I could not get my new one fast enough. This saw is so light weight. Using it to cut off the extra part of a 4x4 fence post while standing on a ladder was a breeze. At first I was a little frustrated because you have to hold two buttons at once to run it, but after I realized the top button only has to held long enough to start it, I changed my attitude and finished off the post tops in no time. It is a pain to round up electrical cords as appose to having a battery, but then it never dies on me mid project. Did I mention that I'm a 78 year old woman that still loves to do home projects, so anything that makes that easier for me is a winner and in my book this saw is a winner.

My circular saw went belly up. I often used a hand saw because the circular was a big deal to get out for one cut. Saw this electric saw and decided to try it. I recently used it to cut the wood for a bed structure in our van. It worked great! My only problem is it’s heavy enough to aggravate the arthritis in my thumbs. Got some heavy duty gloves and much better. Wouldn’t advise for fine carpentry. This is great for my needs. Thanks Marie

Thank you for providing a product that made my life a little easier. This is easier to use than other power tools. It is light weight. We used this tool to cut the subfloor out.

I'm in love with my new saw! Really easy on my hands and cuts through 2x4s, pine logs, and plaster board very easily.

At first glance thought this little saw wasn't gonna cut it. Getting the blade on was a bit challenging due to the oval looking thing not lining up but some wiggling with the blade finally got it turned enough to slide the blade over it. Now just turn up the whole blade and lock it in place and your good to go! Saw feels good, sturdy and cuts great! Sliced up some four inch trees that I had a hard time getting to with anything else by cutting a small triangle notch to prevent pinching of the blade. Just buy it if your looking for an electric hand saw like this, it works quite well!

Extremy bad extremky bad extremly bad ectremly bad

Works great have not. Received all paper work yet . Just enough for a 71 year old grandma !

Excellent buy for the money. Blade insertion apparently was a problem for some but seemed pretty intuitive! Would recommend for trimming, light cleanup!

It is ok, not smooth, too much vibration

Light weight and easy to use.

This saw did not cut the wood that I had bought it for. The description of this product is not accurate.

Perfect for my project. Cutting landscape wood.

Easy to use. Used to cut shrubs down as well as the roots. Also used it to trim tops off of deck posts. No issues.

I think this is an excellent,handy little tool.I am a 76 year old do it yourselfer.I would advise that you have some strength in your hands.This little guy is powerful.I used it to cut up treelimbs.Did the job.

The saw is lightweight. However the blade was difficult to install. I would recommend watching a you tube video for help. Once you see the video it's very easy to install. So don't waste hours trying to do it on your own!

Wasn’t able to insert the blade so the item was returned!

Priced right. Vibrated alot. Good job on the saplings and small trees.

Very poor cutting. Will cut dead or dried branches better but does not cut live branches at all. It just vibrates on it really hard.

It is a little heavier than I expected, but does the job just fine.

Wonderful product for small jobs around the house. I was stubborn and wouldn't give up my hand saw until a relative turned my attention to this. It's great.

I brought this little hand saw because it is small,not sure how to rate it I have not been able to put it together the blade slot does not line up so I have to take the cover off I will not return it I want it to do small jobs at my house I rate it not for use but price and size. Hopefully I can rate it 5 star's once I get it going.

This is a very versatile saw. we use it outside and for crafting work as well.
