Test report: Fiskars Xtract folding saw
The Fiskars Xtract folding saw is particularly suitable for fresh wood, which can be sawn off easily. The handle is non-slip, which allows for a clean work without slipping. In addition, there is a belt clip that automatically retracts when the saw is used. A finger protection prevents inadvertent slipping, which can also not be injured. The saw blade can be sunk into the handle, which in turn saves space and, of course, serves safety.
The saw blade is 16 cm long with a weight of 130 grams. The total length of the saw is 22.5 cm. These are as far as the specifications of the manufacturer, which of course very well listen. But here, once the customers should test whether the tool also holds what was promised by the manufacturer. This results in a very good test result, since these have also tested the Fiskars Xtract folding saw in different situations.
Price and handling
At the price the testers could not really agree, because the one found the stability unsatisfactory, while others found the saw blade too thin. So here the result was mixed, but with the handling, the customers were then agreed. The Fiskars Xtract folding saw is easy to handle, without having to read a user manual. However, the saw blade does not always come without a hook through the branches, whereby the saw has also been cut off singly. But otherwise, differently thick fresh branches could be simply sawn off, the emphasis being on fresh branches. This is because harder, ie older, branches can not cope with the saw. Here, the score was also mixed, from the full score to only one point. Thus, there is no clear result as the one tester found the price favorable, but others were more accustomed by Fiskars simply better.Processing and durability
In this area, there were the most dissatisfied testers, as they were more accustomed by Fiskars. These would even have been willing to pay more if the processing were better. The saw blade is not firmly anchored in the grip, which can then break off. Other testers found the Fiskars Xtract folding saw very well and came with great handling. Thus, no clear result could be found here, although the majority were very satisfied with the Fiskars Xtract folding saw. Above all, this folds together is easy to stow away or transport. This was also the unanimous opinion, because in this area, all testers agreed. Especially since the saw is also stowed in the handle, which then always remains sharp. Simple stowing is guaranteed, even in the pants pocket. In this case, all testers agreed on the same thing as the handle. This is good in the hand, which then allows a decent work.Conclusion
Despite many negative voices, the Fiskars Xtract saw came to 4.5 points out of five. So the majority was very satisfied and also recommended a purchase recommendation. However, the processing could be just on the handle, much better and more stable. Here, all testers agreed, the finger protection being emphasized in particular.
Just as very positive, the light weight of just 145 grams was felt as very pleasant. Even if the Fiskars Xtract folding saw has some weak points, but all were in agreement with the sharpness. Thus a purchase recommendation can be pronounced, whereby the handling for untrained ones can be a little more difficult.
But with some practice this is no longer a problem. Also, the manufacturer's note should be carefully considered, as the Fiskars Xtract folding saw is designed for green, so fresh wood. A very good hand saw.
