[Closed] PSA ish... Folding pruning saw @ Lidl £2.99

I'd say that's pretty good for the money, I've got a very similar saw to that, can't remember where I got it, but it was certainly more expensive. A wee bit flimsy, and the blade can bend if you're not careful, but they are very sharp, and can rip through branches three or four inches across pretty quickly.
Mine gets used for cutting walking sticks usually, but was used to take off several smaller branches from a large branch fallen across a footpath a week or two back, only took four or five minutes.
Tempted to pop over and see if they've got any left at the weekend.

It looks the same design as my wee Silverline- which are only usually about £6 but still, bargain at that price. Rips soft/wet wood really well, almost as well as my Bahco, not so good on hard stuff. Good PSA!

Not sure if it was just my local store or not but I picked up a similar one in Asda last week for £1.50, ideal size to fit in a camelbak. Wickes do a bigger version for £5 too which is pretty tough.

It's the exact same one that Aldi do from time to time. Had mine just over a year and it is still excellent. If you can generate enough wrist-flick you can backhand it through nettles and brambles, and it really bites through sappy branches and saplings. Aldi did a narrow-toothed version at the same time for dry wood.

I've even used this to bodge some chipboard trim to fit under kitchen units!

My lidl ones 3 yrs old and done a bit of trial clearing/mantinance and still going strong .

Yep brilliant saw for trail clearing... Going to get a spare 🙂

These are pretty effective
