Rexbeti Folding Saw
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Irwin 1773465 is a 15-inch universal handsaw featuring patented triple-ground teeth that cut up to 3x faster than traditional saws while eliminating binding. It combines high-carbon steel construction with an ergonomic Comfort-Grip handle for speed and comfort. It is ideal for DIYers and contractors needing a versatile tool for wood and drywall, though it lacks the precision for fine cabinetry.
The Rexbeti Folding Saw is a heavy-duty, compact pruning tool featuring an 11-inch SK-5 steel blade with bidirectional cutting capability. Its aggressive teeth and ergonomic handle make it highly efficient for medium-sized branches. It is best suited for campers, bushcrafters, and landscapers handling branches up to 6-7 inches in diameter.
