For cutting branches in the garden, I have needed a saw. Here I decided for the Mannesmann garden folding saw. The following is a test report on the folding saw.  

Reasons to buy a garden folding saw

As already mentioned, a new saw for the garden I needed. This has become a folding saw, which is the result after a comparison. Ultimately, it has become the Mannesmann garden folding saw. So, for example, that the saw blade is foldable, I have seen two advantages at the same time. On the one hand, the saw blade can be folded. In addition, it greatly facilitates the transport of the saw. But other points I have found very good. For example, the low weight of 200 grams. And finally, the price of the folding saw was convincing. All these reasons led to the purchase of the Mannesmann garden folding saw.  

Technical data for the Mannesmann garden folding saw

The Mannesmann garden folding saw is very solidly manufactured. The handle of the folding saw is made of plastic and the saw blade, lies with a blade length of 150 mm. The saw blade is made of tool steel. The handle also comes with a length of 15 mm, which allows the blade to be fully folded into the handle. The saw blade can be easily folded in and out. A safety button on the Mannesmann garden folding saw prevents unintentional folding and unfolding. In the case of the Mannesmann garden folding saw, a guarantee of 10 years is granted by the manufacturer. The folding saw comes at a weight of 200 grams. The folding saw is colored in a green and black color.  

Handling of the Mannesmann garden folding saw

The handling of the Mannesmann garden folding saw is very simple. This is already noticeable when the folding saw is folded in and out. You do not have to spend too much effort, both when folding and unfolding. In addition, the safety button is very convincing. This has the great advantage that the saw blade does not open or close freely. The sawing with the folding saw goes well by the hand, by the design and the length of the handle, the saw is also very good and above all safe in the hand. Even longer working with the folding saw is no problem, here the low weight of only 200 grams is noticeable. However, the weight is also noticeable in other points, such as during transport. Worth mentioning the folding saw is still the care. This makes it possible to clean the saw blade relatively easily.  

Problems with thicker wood

For a long time I have been using the Mannesmann garden folding saw, in which I can make a deficiency. As a general rule, the folding saw is easy to handle. But just when the wood is thicker, one gets with the Mannesmann garden folding saw its problems. I have found here that a thickness of around 5 cm is already a little problems with the sawing gets. This is a pity since the scope of application of the folding saw is unnecessarily limited.
