Anyone care to comment on this Saw? €35 doesn't seem to be a bad price.....?

Comment is "do you come with the saw?"

She looks like she's been working hard ! I note it only has a 20mm stroke length but sure that might be enough for most jobs.............. :D

Grand saw in fairness with a 3 year guarantee you cant go far wrong at that price.

Greasy hair. Would not bang.

The parkside stuff is flawless and well built -

I've the electric screwdriver, jigsaw and oscillator multi tool - all have gotten a fair amount of work since I bought the house and without issue

3 year warranty as well - just be sure to staple the receipt to the manual or scan a copy

Nice LIDL homage to Benny Benassi in that ad.

She doesn't look like the kind of woman that would be satisfied with a 20cm stroke length.

That's some bar you have set


Anyway, another recommendation here. A great saw. Have one years. Just pick up spare blades when they appear and you'll be set for years!

She's a fine saw indeed. You may also notice that she has a "smooth and variable stroke rate", which should make her a good all rounder.......

No it's a reciprocating saw.

I don't know whats worse.....
a) The fact that you think this could be a circular saw
b) Or that a circular saw will cut sleepers

wouldnt fancy your chances using this on a sleeper, look at the cutting depth.

Is it advertised by a sexy German lady?

That's a deal breaker for me.

Probably would cut a sleeper no problem. Chainsaw is overkill, they are very easy to cut with a hand saw

The blade isn't long enough on this saw I'd guess.

That thing won't cut a sleeper. A sleeper can be cut easily using a circular-saw and a bit of gumption. Run the saw along one side first, then turn the wood upside-down and run along that side. If the sleeper is a little too thick, finish off with a half-decent handsaw.

On-topic, do these reciprocating saw things have any actual use that isn't taken care of admirable by a decent jigsaw, a tenon saw and a regular handsaw?

Have the aldi version. There are a variety of blades for green wood, timber, steel and plastic etc. It would cut a sleeper. Have cut up a fallen tree with one. They are not a finessing saw. Essentially for demolition and rough cutting

Hmm. Well, fair enough if you say so. It didn't look big enough to me to go at heavy lumber.

Any of the modern sleepers would not be what I'd describe as heavy lumbar. The wood blades you can buy for it would cut through a sleeper no problem, use it just like a handsaw and pass the blade through the cut you are making.

Very useful for lots of jobs but as mentioned more of a rough cutting tool and definitely not replacing a jigsaw
