Test report: Bahco 396-LAP folding saw
The wood saw Lapländer in the version Superior is a saw for small wood corks. This has a blade length of 190 mm, so that it can saw smaller branches without problems, but could not sever a tree trunk. The saw has a special toothing, with 7 teeth per inch it is also suitable for coarser work.
The long-lasting quality is due to the patented coating on the blade. This reduces friction, which has several very positive effects. On the one hand the force expenditure for the sawing of wood is significantly reduced, on the other hand one can rely on a longer longevity of the blades. These are not so quickly worn out by the sawed material and can score with the long life. The investment in the Lapländer Superior saw saves money.
The teeth are also convincing. Each tooth is precision ground and hardened, breaking the teeth is so unlikely and possible only by high effort. This significantly increases the life of the saw and saw blades. The precise teeth, in combination with the special coating of the saw blade, also ensure that the saw is long-lasting and extremely effective.
The well thought-out concept of the saw is complemented by the ergonomic handle. This ensures that you will not tire with the folding saw even during prolonged periods of time and that it will be possible to exert greater force on the sawed material without suffering from paralyzed arms.
The saw can be folded together with one hand with the help of the well-designed folding mechanism, ensuring safe transport and safe storage. The foldability with one hand is one of the best innovations that this saw has to offer and makes it an indispensable companion in the home and garden, which a gardener can enjoy even longer working hours.
Conclusion
Since the gardening became increasingly strenuous, I looked around for new helpers for my garden. This is where the Bahco folding saw came into play. This has a blade, which is not only sharp, was particularly important for me that I could exchange the saw blade.
Because after all, you want to have a good investment in such a garden assistant a little longer than just next spring. The purchase of spare blades is simple, they can be obtained both on the Internet and at the dealer on site. However, if one wants to buy the blades in the hardware store, a little patience, because contrary to my assumption, there is no standard size for the blades.
Since my garden is far from my home is for me still another aspect of concern. I wanted to ensure safe transport of the saw. Fortunately, you can simply fold the saw and transport without problems. It can be easily pushed together and pulled apart again. However, when there is earth between the strolls, it can change. Then you have to keep the saw very clean.
The special thing about the saw is the handling. With the aid of the robust toothing and the coated saw blade, it is possible to cut smaller branches such as butter. The blade slides through the wood with very little force. Compared to the model I used earlier, I have a greater effectiveness at much lower fatigue. Before the cutting of the hedge made me a lot of trouble, but this is now much easier, thanks to this saw.
The handle is well made, so I have the saw firmly in the hand, can pass my power also optimally, but have no problems with fatigue or too much effort. Here, not only is the shape good but also the firmness of the handle, so I have no calluses or pain after work.
