Cordless handheld saw

What we've been waiting for for years - a reasonably priced, cordless saw for cutting all those gourd bowls!

Black and Decker has produced a cordless minisaw that you can use for many applications around the house. Powerful enough, for example, to cut through a one inch branch, this saw will easily cut the thickest gourd you have.

There are some very expensive saws that will cut the gourds for you, and at first seem to have a more comfortable grip. This handisaw is a different feel, designed to be a versatile tool with many applications. Hold it like this:

and you'll feel the balance that makes it easy to control. We press the shoe firmly on our gourds (as you should with any electric saw) and cut fine, precise lines.

The blades are commonly availably in any hardware store, and change without tools! You pull down a built-in lever, and just insert the blade:

As you can see, the blade can face either way. We face our foward for cutting the bowls, but reverse it for most other applications.

This tool has two great advantages:

• It is cordless
  
• It costs about $100 less than other saws you might consider for heavy-duty gourd cutting

For very fine detail work and a great all-around gourd hobby saw, our Gourd Saw fits that bill. Also, you can use a small hand saw for small projects. But for a great household tool that has many applications, this is your clear choice. Own this, add the Gourd Saw, throw in a handheld detail saw, and you have still spent less than the expensive units and you'd have a set of tools ready for gourds and all you other household sawing needs.

Did we mentions this is cordless? Take it outside, on a trip, anywhere. Comes with charger and two blades. List price $72.
