"Saw is fine, if a bit short for making clean columns. But not including a real sheath is a dealbreaker. I thought the flimsy single use plastic was just protecting it for shipping, but that’s all you get. It broke in half after a couple times sliding it on/off at room temp. Pretty sick of BD cheaping out on everything and charging a massive premium for it."
"For cutting snow worked well isolating columns."
"Best saw I’ve used"
"This saw is a no-frills lightweight option for your pack. Good info on it for obs and the cord attached as well. Comes with a sheath for the teeth and slides right in with the rest of my gear."
"cuts through snow extremely well, very satisfied"
"Long enough for must avalanch tests with the cord handle in case you need to do an extended column test. Lightweight, durable and at a good price."
"light weight and gets the job done."
"On peut pas vrm se tromper, outils efficaces et pratiques. Il a tout ce que tu as besoin. Seul désavantage, il est un peu long avec sa poignée, ne rentre pas dans tous les sacs."
"Love this 30cm lines on this. Saved time when digging pits."
"Haven’t used mine yet but I’ve been sharing with a friend of mine who’s had it for several years. The cord on the handle is great and I love the crystal chart and length measurements. Super light and great for anyone going into the mountains during winter."
