The MXZ saw is not a saw but a piece of metal with some abrasive material... think course sand paper. In one experiment trying to cut a 1/2 round stick, after 10 minutes I had less than an 1/8 deep cut. Go buy a cheap OzarkTrails or Gerber folding saw about the same size - they work.

I keep getting suckered sometimes and can't resist... but "As Seen on TV" usually means it's crap.

Nothing new about that saw, really. Home Depot has sold the saw body, and the blade is a Remgrit abrasive reciprocating saw blade, also sold at HD.

There's a multitool out there that has this.



As far as I know, the blade is fairly useless on wood.
