Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The JAWSAW absolutely works as advertised. Those who are complaining about it taking too much pressure on the handle need to go back and reread the instruction book. It tells you, "WARNING: DO NOT force the cut. Let the chain pull through the wood." Sure you have push some, but not so much as to force the cut. I was cutting dead limbs from an apricot tree, and believe me, that wood was hard as a rock. The JAWSAW handled it just fine. There are some amusing discrepancies between the infomercial and the instructions, such as; "Use both hands to grip saw firmly" and "Never cut two branches at once". The infomercial shows them using the JAWSAW like a one handed toilet plunger cutting multiple branches at a time. Maybe they just mean not to cut more than one 'overhead' branch at a time. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will quickly figure out what you can and can't do. As others have stated, it can't get into tight places, but when it comes to what this saw does do, it does it very well. I haven't tried it with the extension pole just yet, and I can see how that might be a bit cumbersome and heavy. I would think once the teeth on the jaws have gripped the branch the JAWSAW will hold its own weight through the completion of the cut. But once the cut is finished, get ready to hold up the saw again... another warning spelled out in the instructions. Do people ever read the instructions?
