Q:Can this saw be used for cutting seasoned firewood?
Can I use it for a 6" log if I rotate the log and cut from both sides?

A:Â Can't find any reason why you could not cut a 6 inch log with this saw. I have cut 4 x 6 posts with this saw multiple times.

A:Â Probably not.Â

A:Â Don't think so. I use it to trim my palms in yard. Don't think blades are stiff or strong enough to cut through hard woods.

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

1 Star from Perfect
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.

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

Buy it on Sale but still worth it if you need it!
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!

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.
