Customer Reviews for Stanley 4.75 in. Pull Saw with Plastic Handle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Stanley hack saws and drywall (jab) saws and they as well as the blades have always held up fine. For the price it's hard to get a better tool. I just used these today on building some holloween decorations for the local charity haunted house. I made great corner fits to fill in some gaps. Pros: these handles will last forever if given the chance. Blade is sharp and serves it's purpose to get into tight corners. Covered by Stanley's warranty. Some of my older (competitor and now owned by stsnley) blades fit these handles. They aren't a perfect fit but they do work. Cons: Flush cut blades are really hard to find for some reason but Stanley hacksaw blades fit these handles just fine. Overall I do recommend these but try different blades and see what works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You will find uses for this saw you never imagined. It is super easy to create a nice, smooth, accurate, flush cut with the well designed saw and blade. The flush cut pull saw cuts on the pull stroke for maximum control. The blade is flexible!! The flexibility allows for a multitude of cuts in otherwise hard to reach places. Excellent for getting the details just right on finish work! The handle is well sized and comfortable plus provides easy control of the blade. The blade is also removable for super easy blade changes. It's just one thumb screw to release and insert new blades. Plus the blade has two connection spots, one for maximum control; the other allows for a bit more bend (flexibility) in the blade when needed. This is my first flush cut saw and I am really enjoying it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mini pull saw is a very handy tool. I didn't want to buy a cordless multitool and this was a cost effective alternative. I was able to use it to cut under door jambs to install some new laminate flooring. If you are looking for a hand tool to get you clean cuts in tight spaces, this is will do the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pull saw is the perfect size to have in your tool box for flush trimming anything you need. The blade is flexible but durable and will get the job done. The sharp teeth on it help get through the material quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great little saw to be able to test out! The main thing I love about it is the comfortable and ergonomic handle. It was a delight to hold. I appreciate its smaller size so it fits great in my tool bags. It has an easy nob that turns to release the blade either by hand or with a flathead screwdriver for storage. It came nice and sharp and gives clean cuts. Definitely comes in handy when finishing cuts on stair stringers or birdsmouth cuts on rafters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 4-3/4 in FATMAX® Mini Flush Cut Pull Saw works well for cutting hardwood dowels and fiberboard door trim, but can also be used for cutting plastics, composites, and light ply. I found the flush cut blade to be fully symmetrical, even though the brand label is clearly marked “THIS SIDE UP”. I used a large flat bladed screwdriver to remove the knurled nut from the handle, and remove the paper packaging from the blade handle. I then installed the blade in either direction, and it cut the same from both sides, without the nut interfering with the cut. I also used the blade on PVC pipe and it made a thin kerf cut, with minimal deburring needed. The FATMAX handle allows for a good grip, and precise action, when cutting on the pull stroke. So, the major drawback to this saw is both blades are identical, in teeth per inch. The saw could be much more versatile with a finer cut, for harder materials, on one side of the blade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice saw. Simple design. Make quick work of precise cutting jobs. Use as an undercut saw for removing door trim before installing a new or replacement floor. If you want this for your toolbox it will make a nice addition. Cheaper than power tool version and very handy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I discovered pullsaws many years ago, when they were nearly impossible to find. As the name indicates they are designed to cut on the pull rather than while pushing like most saws. This means the blade can be much thinner and flexible than the typical hand saw. A thinner blade has to remove less material for each cut and cutting on the pull makes it much easier to cut closer to a line. Projects go faster with less waste when there is less material to sand off to get to the exact size. This small pullsaw is a great size for small projects or lopping off dowel plugs. The blade has very fine teeth and cuts fast. A piece of scrap flooring placed beneath the saw blade allows precise removal of trim around doors when laying new flooring. This saw is a very handy size to have in addition to the full size versions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Stanley fatmax is EVERYTHING! This flush cut pull saw is an extra fine blade with 23 TPI. As in its name, it cuts on the pull stroke. The blade is extremely flexible which makes it perfect for flush cuts! The teeth are extremely sharp. You are also able to easily and quickly change the blade when needed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very lightweight and flexible pull saw. I used it right away to trim drywall opening after a plumbing fix before patching. Blade is very sharp and took minimal effort to cut the dry wall. I also used it to trim up a few wooden dowels prior to holiday decorating season. Blade seems to be easily changed as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The handle feels real comfortable and the blade cut precise. I used it to cut a plug flush into a piece of wood and the results were excellent. I might not use this every day but it is a handy tool for those times you need to cut something flush.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super smooth cut. Very sharp straight out of the box. Handle feels a little flimsy but it’s plastic. Handle does fit the hand well for great control. Plenty of flex in the blade makes the cut super easy to make.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stanley's FATMAX flush cut pull saw is very versatile in the many jobs it can be used for. Tool measures 11-1/2" and blade is 4-3/4". The blade has 23 TPI, is flexible and thin to get in hard to reach places. It has a large set screw for easy blade replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sharp, flexible pull saw. Worked as expected, If you are needing to get into a tight spot this saw works great. The flexibility of the blade is amazing you can bend/flex it to 90 degrees if needed. Easy to change blade if ever needed. Overall a great pull saw.

Or you could shorten your blade a little and tin snip a new tang.

Broke pretty quickly

Came with several dents along the blade. Did not meet expectations for a pull saw.

This saw is very flimsy. I tried to use it to cut the corners for my stair stringers and the blade broke off on the first corner.

This saw has multiple uses on the work bench and around the house. The blade is very thin, and flexible but very strong. I expect to get a lot of use out of this tool.

Th Stanley Fatmax flush cut saw cuts very well. The 2 sides allow you to cut from the left or right. It also doubles the life of the blade.

I absolutely love these saws! Great for smaller precision cuts.

I can't believe that no one sells replacement blades for this, its an ok tool for the price but i guess I will throw i tin the garbage now that I cant get a new blade.
