Stanley 20-045 Review by Dan in Oregon (Oregon)
Got this for my birthday. Was stoked based upon the other reviews here. Now if you're looking for a portable, fast-cutting saw for rough very crude cuts, then this is for you. However, if you're looking for a smooth-cutting precise saw this is not it. Definitely NOT for fine woodworking or furniture making, but if you're tearing up pallets for firewood or pruning in the yard this will do fine. A little disappointed as I was looking for a finer, smoother cut.
Stanley 20-045 Review by C. Scanlon "least helpful reviewer" (among us humans)
Got to admit it, this was my FAVORITE saw of all time, for anything, from thick to thin, even non-wood items, really nice, smooth, no buckling no binding, you got it, she got her done, swift smooth, straight.
Then I met Irwin 1773456 Universal 15-Inch Handsaw, with its ELEVEN points per inch!
Kinda smoother . . .
Max brings only nine points per inch to the table
Irwin considers nine points to be coarse and says so right here: Irwin Industrial Tools 2011201 ProTouch 15-Inch 9-Point Coarse Cut Carpenter Saw . . .
So like, got to say it, I am going hand in hand with Irwin, and Fat Max stays in the box . . .
I still love the Fat Max, do NOT get me wrong, but the Irwin, smooth . . .
I'll leave Fat Max for when I just cannot find that Irwin anywhere anymore, now where did I put that thing down, somewhere around here . . . Must be with the Stanley 33-730 30-Foot-by-1-1/4-Inch FatMax Measuring Tape . . . Put them down somewhere right around here, right?
Get Max . . .
cool thing about this saw,
okay you need to make a line straight across the board to make your cut straight and true, so you lay the blade flat across the board with the UNTOOTHED straight edge along where you marked the dots for the line across (this is way easier to show than to write!), and butt the longer wooden edge of the handle up against the edge of the board. This works way better than using an L ruler like the 90 Degree Stainless Steel L-Square Angle Ruler 130mm x 305mm because you can feel it, and not just eye it, trusting the edge of the ruler to be along the edge of the board. THen you just draw your 90 degree line along the UNTOOTHED back edge of the saw.
To make 45 degree lines easily, like i will soon need to do to lay in some sheathing under a roof here in the hermitage, in the new quiet prayer room, you just use the shorter wooden edge of the handle butted up against the board, and draw your line. Git-R-Done!!
Stanley 20-045 Review by Ronswoodcrafts
I got this because I wanted a hand saw that was light weight and sharp cutting teeth. The fat max is excellent. I used it to cut some 4" dia branches and it goes through them like a hot knife in butter. And Stanley is Made in the USA, (from Global parts LOL)..... this is a super handy saw.
