Very tempting, especially at today's Deal-of-the-Day price. Looks about
the size of a reciprocating saw. Shame it doesn't take the Power4All
batteries which my other garden tools use.

And it would be a lot more convenient for the smaller
branches that are too big for secateurs where a single
handed microchainsaw would be much easier to use
than a normal full sized chain saw.

Corse we have had electric reciprocating saws for a long time now.

Now I look it doesn't seem to be intended as a pruning saw. And there
are battery powered pruning saws around, as you say.

They do show her cutting a branch a couple of times.
No clear how well it would work on a green one tho.

If I were richer...but I was left a bit underwhelmed by "Up to 100
meters of softwood can be cut without having to replace the saw blade"
given a blade costs from £17.94 (at Lawson-His: you can pay much more
elsewhere).

A few things on the video

Safety, all cutting seemed to be with the tool moving towards the
operator rather than away from the operator. I can just see the blade
traveling into someones thigh at the end of the cut.

Is that smoke or sawdust when cutting plywood?

The cuts on the shelf seem too straight and perfect for freehand -
almost as if a chop saw had been used.

There's nothing on there that couldn't be achieved with an ordinary jigsaw.

However and its probably the big selling point for the market its aimed at,
the rotary motion makes it much smoother to use, as compared with the jerkiness
of the reciprocating blade in a conventional jigsaw..

The woman in the video, unless already particularly skilled has possibly
put in plenty of practice beforehand. They may even used her in live
demonstations in exhibitions and similar if they have such things
in Germany.

As to safey I think there'll be a cut-out which immediately stops the blade
once the large guard plate is no longer in contact with the wood.

Out of interest, what would be a suitable alternative for cutting trees?
Having a similar portable, relatively safe, battery-powered form factor -
where a full chainsaw is not appropriate (more buddleia than giant redwood),
but with the ability to throw in a rucksack and charge from a 12V supply
(via inverter if needed).

Preferably without the profit-through-razor-blades business model.

The only alternative to a chainsaw is a reciprocating saw or
sabre saw, of which portable versions are available. However
IME all large reciprocating saws are very unpleasant to use
owing to the back and forth vibrations, which really go up
your arms. Because there's no weight in the actual blade, the
tool has to be gripped quite firmly to keep the blade in contact
with the work, and prevent it from jumping out

Possibly for someone with circulation problems in their arms they
could be quite beneficial.

There are I believe "low vibration" models available in the top
end of the ranges on payment of the necessary extra few squids.

For buddleia and similar I'd have thought an ordinary bowsaw would
suffice taking care to keep the plastic guard in place when carrying
it about. Even small collapsible pruning saws can be surprisingly
sharp and effective, and can manage quite thick branches, as can
be found on shrubs at least. Quite serviceable models of both
were available from Wickes, at least two years or so ago.

If it is only relatively small stuff do you really need a power tool?
The speed and simplicity of use of such things as bowsaws provided they
have a good quality blade is something that seems to have been forgotten in
recent times, its got that almost no task can be done unless a power tool
is involved.

It uses nano blade technology which is available in other forms i.e in a conventional
jigsaw body in Germany. Given the blade cost, the only use I can see for one
is for cut-outs, plunge cutting narrow slots in sheet material to be continued using
a conventional jigsaw. It would cut down on wastage as compared with drilling a
large enough hole with a conventional drill. Other than slicing cucumbers straight
out of the freezer maybe.

The blades will probably stay small owing to safety issues.

Very handy for pruning trees and hedges. Bit slow tho, we
need a decent comparison with a reciprocating saw. And
a recip would presumably have a much cheaper blade.

Wonder how it would go with frozen legs of lamb etc.

Easy to put the blade in the dishwasher too.

Indeed. Its like there are some youtube videos (by John from the
Doubleboost channel IIRC) when they built a jet engine from scratch, and
fitted it to a go cart... loads of numpties commenting that it was a
waste of time because a motor bike engine would have made it go faster!
