along the door to cut along it's easy to cut a straight line.

Straight being a relative term...


I've had no problems cutting doors absolutely straight with one of these
saws. Have you ever tried to use one? The blade is so wide that it
really can't wander off the cut. Of course starting the cut and ensuring
that it is going to go where you want it is a tad tricky but anyone who
can use a handsaw should be able to use one of these.


1cm is not easy to cut off with the door off its hinges, let alone on them.


It's a piece of cake with a pull saw, and I've removed as little as 4mm
using one.

Again, have you actually tried to do it yourself or are you one of those
armchair experts?
