5 out of 5 stars A Fine General Purpose Saw   July 10, 2008
Richard Thornhill (Tacoma WA USA)
I have dozens of saws...really I do! But this little gem sees more use than any of the others. It's not that it is always the best saw for the job (sometimes a power saw would do a better job) but it is ready, willing and able. By the time I could have pulled out the circular saw and an extension cord I have done the job with this little monster. Stanley's claims about its "SharpTooth Technology" are truthful; this little beauty does all Stanley says it will. Keep one in the shed; you will use it!

I live in South Florida and have lived and worked through three major hurricanes. In the aftermath, there is always a ton of ground clearing to do - downed trees and blown down fences have to be cut up and moved to the curb for pickup. Last Hurricane, no power for 13 days. I had one chain saw and the Fat Max. My neighbor took the Chain, and I took the Fat Max Saw. He did the large stuff, and I did limbs and trunks about as big around as your leg. He kept looking over at me like I was superman. He had never used the Fat Max, which just plows through wood like butter. No Kidding. Get this, on a single stroke, forward or backward, you can watch the saw sinking through the wood as the sawdust flies. It is amazing. After things returned to normal, I bought my neighbor a Fat Max. You. Wll. Be. Amazed. --Mykal Banta


5 out of 5 stars Your go-to saw for 90% of your jobs.   July 21, 2007

It doesn't matter if you're a professional framer or contractor, this saw handles about 90% of your usual cutting chores. It has a short length so lugging it around isn't much of a problem, and your rip strokes do an incredible amount of work for you considering the size and cost. In fact, it'll perform as well as saws costing much more. The steel quality is very good, such that you can forget to touch it up with a file for a year and still get your work done. Finally, it has a carpenter square handle so when you need a right angle quick, just pull the pencil off your ear and mark it. I can't say enough good things about such a useful tool for everyone's basic home tool set; just buy it already.

-Fred
