View Full Version : Laplander Saw
Bit of advise required please ?
Is this the genuine article :confused:
Search on Amazon - Bahco 396 Lap Laplander Folding Pruning Saw
(Sorry URL on original thread did not work :( :( :( )
If yes, does anybody know a better deal ?

A question regarding this saw- I just took delivery of one, being a bit of a gear freak and wondering what it was like-
Should the blade lock open as well as closed? The one I got locks closed no probs, but I can close it with just a bit of resistance and don't press the button. And the first tooth was 'missing' - read so thin it was bent into the second. I certainly wouldn't use it for tree work.
As far as I can see, the only benefit of this saw is a: it's a bit smaller than some folding pruning saws. b: it's green and c: it cuts on both strokes (and I'm still to be convinced is a good thing on such a thin blade).
Otherwise I'd say I'll stick with my Silky or the ARS folder I got from the Arb. association show for 10 quid....

It should definitely lock when open. Send it back as faulty is my opinion.
I recently got one from Amazon too. I'm very impressed. It's so easy to use, even my 4 year old son was able to cut branch stumps off a pine trunk with it.
