BLACK+DECKER 400W Scorpion Powered Handsaw with 3 Blades, KS890ECN-GB

Unsure at first if this was the right tool for the job. I looked at mini chainsaws but didn’t feel comfortable using one. I then stumbled across the DIY friendly Black & Decker Scorpion saw and ordered blindly. The provided Instructions aren’t great as I struggled at first to insert the blade. However, a quick google and it all became clear as there are lots of YouTube tutorials online. Once up and running the blade seemed solid enough for me to cut down an overgrown tree / shrub. The trunks weren’t overly thick and it cut through them pretty easily and quickly as the blade was obviously new and sharp. There’s a nice safety feature on the saw too which is great. Once you release, the blade will stop. Overall I’d definitely recommend this if the job isn’t too difficult or demanding. For the average DIY’er / gardener, I would say this is a safe and effective tool to tackle overgrown small trees and shrubs.

Bought this saw yesterday. Used it today to cut up a solid oak king sized bed including the metal frame. When using gently push saw back and forth like a hand saw, makes light work. For it's size and the price excellent bit of kit. Instructions aren't very good, but easy enough to figure out.

Good saw but missing blade

Excellent for keeping medium-sized tree in shape.

A bit fiddly to get the blade in but after that, it works brilliantly. The blade is very sharpe, easy to handle and excellent a cutting through wood! Would highly recommend this. I did read reviews with some saying they had to return, try it for yourself before deciding.

Easy to manage, good quality, due to its small size easy to hold and control , easily saws through thick branches, bushes etc . Easy to Operate .

Arrived earlier than expected great price and delivery husband really happy .thank you .

Only giving 3* due to the difficulty in fitting the blade, due to the poor instructions - this has been mentioned in various reviews - Youtube videos saved the day! Already used to cut 20mm floor joists and, apart from the vibration, did a great job. Will certainly be useful to us for cutting pallets and wood for raised beds.

Excellent

Malheureusement prise américaine qu'il faut changer ...

El enchufe que incorpora no es el europeo sino americano pero tengo en casa adaptador así que no hubo problema. La herramienta es de muy fácil uso y ha superado incluso mis expectativas. He podido realizar todo el trabajo en el tiempo que me había marcado, sin ningún tipo de contratiempo.

A mio avviso ottimo attrezzo per tagli veloci e piu' precisi rispetto ad un segaccio a mano

Worst product I ever bought. Very badly designed, awkward to use, too much vibration, and doesn’t cut well at all. My ancient handsaw cuts faster and smoother. I’ve had B&D tools for years, and all were satisfactory until now.
