Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers and editors position the Bahco PC-24-TIM as a high-performance tool for professional users handling coarse cuts in timber. They highlight its super-sharp GT-toothing and fileable blade as key advantages for reliability in varied timber conditions, including wet and tanalised wood. The saw is praised for its push/pull efficiency and ergonomic handle, though it is noted that it requires maintenance skills and is heavier than some alternatives.
What Users Say
Everyday users and consumers frequently praise the saw's ability to cut through pressure-treated lumber like butter, noting its speed and lack of binding. The ergonomic handle and built-in angle guides are common highlights for comfort and utility. However, recurring complaints focus on the need for sharpening skills, the roughness of the cut for finish work, and the weight making one-handed use difficult.

Requires sharpening sooner if not careful with filing technique. Too coarse for clean crosscuts and leaves splinters. A bit heavy for one-handed use
