I can get one of these reduced at Argos, but before I buy I would like
some opinions on the saw.

They're great. Really useful for cutting firewood, less chance of
injury than chainsaw or sawbench and they work for just long enough to

Some seem to eat motors. Mine ate its crankshaft bearing.

The B&D is a waste of time. Give a wide berth. Wickes sell a version of
