Robens Cylinder Bush Saw Review
There has been more than one occasion when I’ve been out green laning and I’ve allowed over hanging branches to rub against the side of Deux Smurf, and like a most of us, I’ve even risked pushing them aside. However, when I’m out in a press car it’s a totally different matter, so having a saw with me at all times is important.
Weighing in at just 326g, this compact saw from Robens measures 41.2 x 2.3 x 2.3cm when packed away, and 41.6 x 2.3 x 18.8cm (LxWxH) when assembled.
All its components, including two blades - one for fresh and another for dry wood, are tucked away in a single tube that splits apart into two tubes that, when assembled, act as handles.
Assembly and disassembly is straightforward and each takes less than a minute.
Okay, this is obvious, but as the teeth on both blades are large and aggressive, when you start to saw you’ll need to carefully draw the saw towards you 5-8 times to make a slit (called a kerf). This makes it easier for you to cut straight, as well as preventing it from jumping out of the slit and cutting your thumb off. Please don’t do that!
In practise, once assembled it’s lightweight, rigid and it makes light work of cutting branches, both for clearing tracks, and cutting up firewood.
The Cylinder Bush Saw is made from aluminium and stainless steel and comes with its own carry bag, not that you really need it.
Price: £20
