Hey Folks, I was wondering who here uses folding saws and what brand?

Personalyl I use the Coghlan's, for the prices its defently work it and I like it a lot. However I find the gerber is much stronger.

I have a Coghlan's, i have had it for about 2 years still really sharp & cut's fast.
I also have a Gerber, it's more money but i just had to have it, lol Laughing cut's wicked fast, makes short work of getting firewood etc. Cool

Hey troop it's a good folding saw in my eyes. If it isn't broke, keep on useing it. If it does get screwed up or something & you have a extra $$ get the Gerber, it's got a nice handle & you can replace the blades. Cheers Dude Cool

Its really light and portable. I use the 24" one.

Lee Valley tools has some great stuff for wood working.


Tmax I think there is a Lee valley in your neck of the woods too.

Cheers,
Tox.

* Ya Lee Valley has some great stuff. I shop there about 3 or 4 times a year. I also have a folding saw from
Lee Valley. Just bought it about 3 months ago, haven't yet used it. Cool Cheers Toxin

Hmm Tox that looks like a good buy actually. My fav feature about it is that it isnt plastic. Looks sturdy enough to hold. but light enough to carry around.

Good stuff Cool

You cant even feel the weight of it. I roll my foam matt around it so it even doesnt take up anymore room, usually I cant roll my foam matt tight enough and there is always an emplty hole, its a perfect spot for it.

MMMM outdoor toys. ( well not toys but you know what I mean)



Cheers!
