The Real Old Timer 970t
Old Timer 970t Dollar for Dollar this is an excellent buy. Looks great feels great works great and doesn't break the bank! I actually cut off several "fairly thick' wrist and thumb-thick limbs. and it cuts FAST ... you'll need gloves to really get busy with the saw, a con for me is that the handle is a bit short for serious saw work and a little slippery for that as well. It does, however, a good job. The blade is sharp and easy to sharpen. Nice touch: the ''steel'' toothpick and tweezers assist in removing small pieces of wood from that 'aggressive' saw blade.
