Came next day via Amazon Prime and was well packaged.I bought this with the intention of cutting a lot of logs and wood for my wood burner. I've used a Bow Saw for years but I have a large amount of wood that has built up and I don't fancy standing for hours on end cutting manually and a chainsaw is frankly a bit overkill and potentially dangerous for the light home use I need.As such I was interested if this would fill the gap between manual sawing and full on chainsaw. I bought it along with the Bosch Saber Blades which are aimed at cutting logs etc. The saw also comes with a wood blade in the box but it's a smaller 6" blade for small jobs to get you started. Some people gave 1 star and said it didn't come with a blade,

I'm not a usual reviewer but I used this product for the first time today and wanted to let you all know my thoughts.The tool itself is a solid but of kit that takes both hands to hold at all times when sawing. The quality is as you'd expect from a Bosch product i.e. great. Its a really simple tool to use, simply clip the blade in the top and away you go. Compared to using a chainsaw its a pretty safe tool to use in my opinion. There is a bit of push back from the tool when the blade gets pinched whilst sawing but this is easily overcome by holding on tight. A big bonus is that you can saw straight on the (soft)ground,

I purchased this product to help me cut down and dig up around 40 established leylandii and a couple of medium sized trees. The main plan for it was to expose the roots and cut through them using this saw before pulling out the stump. I have to say it was brilliant and saved me a huge amount of time. Prior to owning this I had been using a handsaw and it took forever to cut through thicker roots, some of which were close to 6 inches thick (it also wrecked my shoulder). The power saw made easy work of them especially the smaller roots. It also allowed cutting through roots where there was limited room to work, certainly not enough to usse a handsaw.I have also used it for chopping up some of the branches and tree trunks into moveable chunks.

Really ergonomic saw, saves a great deal of time for demolition jobs and for pruning of small branches. So far I've used it to cut up old pallets and crates, and to cut branches up that are too large to go through shredding. With the appropriate blades I found the former task slightly easier than the latter, but the saw made short work of both. You can cut pretty accurately, but if you really need accuracy rather than speed, then you're better looking at a different type of saw. I nearly always buy Bosch for reliability, as I've never had a Bosch tool fail on me, but there's a couple of cautions if you're not familiar with this type of tool:1)

Ok, I'd always considered these kind of saws as a lazy man tool. I mean, if you can use a saw, which incidentally you can buy at a fraction of the price, why would you want to?Well, it makes short work of the job, thats why. it takes the effort out of it. It is also possible to change the blades to match the material you are sawing through. So all in all it is an easy to use bit of kit.I have used it for decking, drain pipe and some aluminium, then cutting back tree branches, cutting through tree roots and it has proved quite versatile.However, I still think that I can be more accurate with a plain old hand saw, less weight and better to manoeuvre.

Wow. This thing is a real monster!Only bought it a week ago and already using it way more than my chainsaw!Bought essentially to chop timber for firewood where nails and other metal fixings are an issue.Hardwood or soft wood, this rips through it whether using wood or wood/metal blades (what a cracking idea they are, perfect for what I need).I am somewhat looking forward to seeing what else this beast will take on in the garden and around the home!The variable speed works great and gives you a much more controlled cut.A word of warning - you must use this with two hands. One is not enough and it will jump all over the place. Coupled with a lack of safety switch it ensures that life becomes lively for a second or two.But of course,

I selected this saw, with only a cursory look at similar products from other manufacturers, as my previous Bosch saw (PFZ600E) had finally given up the ghost after more than 20 years excellent and reliable service.I'm not sure what I was expecting but although it has a bigger motor than the 600E (700 watt rather than 600 watt) it doesn't feel that much more powerful but this might just be an illusion because it is so much quieter.It is much more comfortable to use than the 600E with the new shape of handle. I miss the trigger lock which greatly reduces the strain on your trigger finger if you're making long cuts but I understand the Health and Safety reasons why this feature has been removed.It

This is the second Bosch PSA 700 E sabre saw I have purchased. I first one I bought in 2014 was subject to a lot of heavy use and even abuse sawing through tree roots. Despite all the abuse it received it still worked fine, although the blade eventually kept falling out after 6 years service, so I decided to buy another rather than have it repaired. These saws really are bulletproof!My only complaint was with Amazon who sent me a saw manufactured in November 2016 and was over 3 years 3 months old, in a green box now superseded. Perhaps this was reflected in the price, although I should have been told before purchasing. I hope this won't affect the 2 year warranty.I would have liked to purchase a plastic box for this saw,

I bought this saw on impulse because it was on offer as a £56.00 Black Friday deal. My old Screwfix Ferm reciprocating saw was getting past it while also being somewhat underpowered for a job I had scheduled - cutting back a thick laurel hedge to near ground level in order to let it rejuvenate in the spring under more control.The money was well spent - would have been a great buy at normal Amazon rates, but was a steal at this price. I can't fault it apart from it being a bit heavy - but this extra weight helps to reduce vibration and kick back, making the saw a joy to use. The tool-less blade changing is easy, much better than the old Ferm that needed an Allen key.

Some years ago I bought a Black and Decker Scorpion saw. It was useless , so I was reluctant to buy another.When I bought my new house 17 years ago I seriously overplanted my garden. Ten trees and forty shrubs and conifers which are now enormous. I am now in my sixties and finding it hard work. I decided it was time to take some out ,roots and all. I bought some sabre blades which are excellent. The saw is quite heavy but the weight is essential for the cutting. Cutting through thick weeping willow branches like a knife through butter, a nine inch trunk no problem. The roots would have been impossible with a hand saw but so easy with this. Three large trees and 6 conifers gone in three hours and just two blades(

I’m glad I bought this ‘Sabre’ saw as it will save me a lot of time and effort over the years. It’s not too heavy, feels well made, good rubber handgrips, Variable speed.Have just used it for the first time to saw up a substantial wooden table, which it did quickly and easily. Not too noisy, smooth operation. Do be careful of some kickback, though. Supplied blade (easily found in box slot) was very good.A good tool to have for breaking up wooden objects, cutting (not too big) tree branches, removing stubborn roots, use for awkward flush cuts (with correct flexible blades). Good value (especially in a lightning deal!). Will save me a lot of time and effort. The sort of tool you wonder how you did without.

I've given the review 5 stars not only to counternance the puney reasons by others given for marking lower than 4 stars but because it's worth the 5 star rating so far.After 3 months of use I'm still on the first blade from the pack of 5 green blades purchased seperately ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0009W868C/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) . Having cut a shed full of hardwood logs i can hardly believe the durability.It does take longer to cut logs than a chainsaw, probably 2 or 3 times longer .. but the bosch is 3 or 4 times lighter than my chainsaw and I can do more without being puffed!The 900e's speed is controlled by how hard you press the trigger... just so as you know!The saw feels well built ,

We bought this saw to cut down some very large conifer trees but using longer blades - Saxton 240mm Reciprocating Sabre Saw Wood blades. We have done the first tree remarkably easily with this tool, my husband began with the side branches which the saw dealt with in seconds with little effort, then the main trunk was done in two sections, the first was 56 cm (22 inches) in circumference and with the larger blade the saw went through with one pass again with little effort. The base of the trunk was 66 cm (26 inches) in circumference and my husband worked his way around and into the centre until it had cut through completely, this took a little longer and some lining up of the cuts but the saw made light work of it non the less.

This is a great multi use saw and is far improved on my previous models of the saw which was far clumpier at the end where the blade went in and therefore limited the overall performance but was totally unaware of this until I got this newer model.Pro's* Nice easy handling* Nice contouring for holding the saw.* Blade is easy to install - no additional tools required* Easy to use and cut.Con's* only comes with 1 wood blade* Not really easy to find the correct blades for the multi uses of this saw without spending heaps of time researching.* Quite heavy* No safety button - can easily start straight away if pressing trigger to start the saw.Generally this is a nice improvement and I would definitely

This is another "green" Bosch tool which does the business well. I really wanted to go for the "blue" version, which is available on Amazon, yet cannot be shipped to my country. The Blue version will work great on stone too, whereas the PSA900 will only do wood, metal and plastic tubes.Do not expect to use this as some sort of jigsaw for wood. It really is a demolition monster, and works great on branches and other wooden objects where precision cuts are not important. Yet the flexible saw comes in handy to neatly cut metal or plastic pipes flush with a wall.I have used compatible blades, bought from Amazon, some of which perform better than Bosch ones.The PSA 900 is quite heavy, as expected,
