Hi zujostix, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm not too sure either, maybe people just don't like my videos lol. Thanks again and have a great day, all the best Mark.
Hi Simon, thanks for watching mate and for the comment. I like those traditional frame saws that you make. When I meet up with you again, I think I might get one from you. Have a great day mate. Mark.
Hi Mark. I've had one of those for about a year and I have got no complaints and at the price they're near enough disposable I think. I think I got mine at military mart. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.
Hi Wol, many thanks for watching brother. Hope you are keeping well and enjoying the bit of sun that we are having. My thoughts entirely about it been nearly disposable. So far, so good, I don't have any complaints with it for the money either. I purchased mine from an Army surplus stand at the show. Thanks again Wol.... All the best, Mark.
Hi Chris, I hope you are keeping well :) Thank you for the info, I will check out B&Q when I am next near one. Stay safe mate during these uncertain times, all the best, Mark :)
Cracking review and a nice piece of kit. I now understand what you mean about hand fatigue. Last time out with my mate I processed the fire wood and I only had a small Stanly FatMax which was in my tool box. It was funny to watch. Looks a good piece of kit. I don't have a massive budget but I like how this is compact when packed. Thanks again fella. Totally agree with the guys comment about popularity. Cheers Sel
Hi Sel, many thanks for watching mate. Yeah it has turned out to be a handy bit of kit. I picked it up cheap from the show last year. I hope he's there again this year, because I could do with a spare blade for it. I use the Fatmax at work. I use them for cutting tree roots and small branches that are under water. They go through it OK, but it doesn't half get your hand and forearm after a while. Thanks again Sel, have a great day, all the best, Mark. :)
Mark Bailey... I finally picked the MFH Buck saw up from Military Mart in Ormskirk for £15. Great buy and makes light work of the thicker stuff. So a big thanks from me. Cheers Sel
Hi Sel, Nice one mate, I'm glad you got one sorted. No more hand fatigue using the fat max!! They cut well and weigh hardly anything. Good to see the weather picking up :) Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark. :)
Thanks for sharing Mark. I've been looking at these for a while, but after you explained it more in depth, I decided that it's not for me. I'm more of a Bahco/Silky kind of guy :) Cheers
Thanks for watching and for the comment Edy. I hope you are keeping well. You can never go wrong with a Silky or Bacho. I was looking for something that I could carry that was compact, but would do the same kind of job as a small bow saw. Thanks again Edy....... All the best, Mark.
I find it hard to understand you because of how fluently and fast you speak. I will stay here for much more and improve my English by the way :) Great video, greetings from Poland.
Hi Ronnie, I hope you are keeping well. I agree, we have a strong accent where I come from, so the English can be hard to follow. Many thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Thanks for the video Mark. I have been looking for a saw lately because my Baco Laplander is not very good for wood processing I like the idea with the saw but it looks like the Laplander does a better job in my opinion. I have looked at the silky zubat on MCQbushcrafts channel ( by the way you should do a wild camp with him that would be amazing) and it processes wood fantastically. This saw just looks like it has enough bite. Thank you for sharing Mark and making the video I truly appreciate it - Josh
Hi Josh, many thanks for watching and for the kind words. Silky are awseome saws. I'm sure if you decide to go with any of thier range you won't be disapointed. I have used Bahco's for a good number of years, but once I started using a Silky then it seemed to take a back seat. Thanks again for the kind words and the comment. have a great week, all the best Mark.
Is it possible to get an 18” 30” version? If not would a larger one be of more/better use? And if not what are the dimension of the frame on the one you have?
Hi Alan, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate :) Unfortunately they seem to make only one size. I wouldn't of minding it being longer myself, but it was all they did. I gave been trying to buy a spare blade for it for months!! I had to wait until I went to work before I could get the measurements, so apologies for the late reply. It was in my pack there. The size of the frame is 15" long x 7.5" wide. The cutting part of the blade is 13" when it is constructed. They are only small really, but it comes in handy when you don't have much room to pack a large saw or it fits in my haversack. Thanks for the comment Alan, all the best, Mark :)
@@AlanAlanAlanDave I'm thinking the blade could be replaced with a standard size blade as long as you replace the threaded rod and the centerpiece to work with the new blades length
Chris Pierce thanks to watching one of Marks other videos I’ve now bought a 24” bow saw and an extra blade but also, two key ring rings to put through the holes in the holes in the blade so, I can make a bow saw once in camp from timber I find. Seen on another YT channel.
Hi Marino, they are a great saw for the money. The only problem I ran into was not been able to find a replacement blade for it. I have looked at using other blades as a replacement, but they weren't the right size. The original did last for a long time though. All the best, Mark :)
Hi Alan, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Throughout the summer I have been using the 24" for most of my work as it is easier to cut the larger sections of wood. But I still find the hand guard a pain lol. It hasn't been too bad as I have worn thinner work gloves, but as it gets colder and the gloves get thicker, then it can be awkward at times. The 12" is a great saw for keeping in a pack. I tend to use it for cutting up fire wood mainly and for clearing paths at work. Both are good in their own right. Next time I buy a larger saw though, I will go for one without the guard :) Thanks for taking the time Alan, all the best, Mark :)
It's not too bad. I take it out most days, but for the smaller stuff I tend to use my laplander or silky, mainly for the fact that I don't have to spend time putting them together. But for the bigger chunks of timber it holds its own. The blade may be swapped at some point but the frame itself is good and strong. For £10 it is pretty much disposable, so I wasnt expecting too much, but it was cerainly worth the money. Have a great day mate, all the best Mark.
Hi Albin, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I have been trying to track a spare blade down for mine, but I'm afraid to say I can't fine anywhere that sells them. I have seen similar sized blades for sale in hard wear shops that I was going to try when the time comes, or email the company. Or as a lot of people have said, for the cost of the saw, it is about the same price as some replacement blades, so it would be easier just to replace the saw at the end of the blades life!! Sorry I could not be more help..... thanks again and have a great day, all the best, Mark.
Hi Hazzard outdoors, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I have tried various places to try and buy a replacement blade, but it seems to be an awkward size. At the moment, the blade is still OK. I tend to use the saw for small jobs and keep it in my shooting bag. But I think I may have to email the company to see if they sell spare blades at some point. I hope you are keeping well during these uncertain times. All the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 yes thank you mark, hope you and yours are good. I was considering just getting standard blades and cutting them to size. Thank you for your answer. Atb Carl.👍
@@hazzardoutdoors Hi Carl, a couple of hours after you left your comment, someone else mentioned that the new saws come with 2 blades, and he found a wood blade in his local B&Q that fits. I will have to give them another try when I get out. I often thought about cutting a larger blade down to the size and drill a hole in each end and use a small nut and bolt to fix it into place. I thought you might like to know that you might be able to find something in B&Q (if you are living in UK). Cheers mate, Mark :)
I've been watching your vids today and I can't figure out why aren't you more popular
Hi zujostix, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm not too sure either, maybe people just don't like my videos lol. Thanks again and have a great day, all the best Mark.
You ain’t got a yank accent don’t worry about it. Great honest vids without the fluff.
Great review Mark. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching Gavin and for the comment. All the best, Mark.
I recently ditched my saw and I have to admit I always think about putting it back in my pack because Precision Cuts can be very handy and efficient.
Good review there I did make a few traditional frame saws but then I have gone back to a steel frame saw and just tiy a old t-shirt around the blade.
Hi Simon, thanks for watching mate and for the comment. I like those traditional frame saws that you make. When I meet up with you again, I think I might get one from you. Have a great day mate. Mark.

Really like mine so bought two now the new one came with two blades I got it on Amazon but found a wood hack saw blade from b&q also works

Do they come in bigger sizes to accommodate the Bahco blades such as 24", 30" and 36"?
Hi, I haven't seen them made in any other sizes. It is a shame as it would be useful to have a larger size as well. Many thanks for watching :)
good video

@@markbailey2981 thanks! Subscribed and looking your old videos 👌
Hey Mark,
Would you still prefer the Stanley ? If so would it be the 12” because of the hand guard allows a gloved hand better than the 24”?
