Silky Fox F180 folding saw

[Arborist Reviews]

I recently purchased this saw from Gustharts, and to be honest purchased it due to the low price tag, and Silky name. At under £15, I wondered if it would be any good, but felt that it would be worth a try, and cheaper than my existing Laplander (Bahco) which needed replaceing. Well, first impressions [...]

Not sure if it's ok to post on the review forum or not? However, I had a Silky F180 and was very disappointed with the plasticky construction and feel to it. This saw is a far cry from the brilliant Silky PocketBoy saws. I know it's cheaper, but it's nasty.

In defence of the 180, I found them to have an excellent blade like the rest of the range, but the handle was the cheap bit.

 

For £13 or so, there is little else that will leave a clean cut like the Fox, and its great for the lads, it will fit in a pocket, do an excellent pruning job, and if it gets lost its not the end of the world.

 

Well worth the money IMO.

Actually, yep, I agree with that - if I was buying a pruning saw for employees then this would probably be the one. I'd rather they lost a cheap F180 rather than the PockeBoy that is double the price.
