It bends and breaks ...!

Agree with the previous reviewer: it is a small super saw, efficient and pratique.Mais because there is a "but" major, this saw the first use of which - but not the only - is a saw screed, should bend but not rompre.Or she bends like a reed in the fable, which is the aim, but it quickly mark a fold at the base of the blade and soon, like the oak of the above fable, to break, this after less than a week of use, I précise.La non-intensive blade inserted into the handle is held by a large clamping screws, which suggests the possibility of changing the blade or to opt for différente.Or toothed blades, despite research, I could not find confirmation of my hypothesis, nor of rechange.J'ai blades also several Japanese type of saws, but true, then those "made Japanese ".And I must find that these, though flexible, do not break, despite years of good use, question quality steel likely: the samurai guard the secret of their formidable katanas, they knew decline in forms more pacifiques.On imagine with regret that this small saw STANLEY could have with a good blade Honshu, or, why not, with a good Swedish steel. In short, the tool is well designed but poorly réalisé.Dommage .... But to end on a positive note - and especially to finish the work in progress - I must add that, finding no replacement blades, j ' I ended up buying the same small saw ... double exemplaire.J'ai recycled the handle of the first saw blade broken by adapting it from another tool, and which fitted very appropriately.
Certainly, when one loves, one does not count, without being a follower of "Venus in Furs" Sacher ... Mazoch!
