>>1697052I used hand saw when i worked in landscaping and on more than one occasion, on the push stroke, the blade would bind and snap... Wouldn't a big buck saw be better to prevent that? Am i just incompetent for breaking the blade? Not paying 1000 dollars for that when I could just buy a big blade and build a buck saw.. I guess this saw provides the benefit of keeping you a good distance from the tree your felling..
