I have one of these, as you say is one of the most useful tools I have... Has managed to cut old iron cold mains right in the corner!

I would suggest using good quaility blades, when cutting iron pipes, as silverline blades soon run flat! Laughing

Don't get me started on silverline tools Bang Head

I bought three because they were cheap and I knew I would only use each tool once, the only problem is that they don't even work properly on one job Crying

yep great saw blade can be use upside down for closer work
as said more for demolition than "accurate" cutting

I have been using this saw today and it is really difficult to release the battery from the saw, has anyone else noticed this ?

i have 2 tools that are tight to the batteries one is the angle drill

if you want a strait accurate cut to an exact point
cutting soffits under tiles for example

fit the blade extend the blade fully cut 2 battons 2mm shorter than the tip off the blade
you will need to cut the tops at an angle to fit in

secure thebattons one each to the area to cut the width of the saw blade appart

you have to go slowly for the first 3 or4mm as the blade will be proud

you also need to be carefull when pivot on the foot of the saw passes off the batton you will loose the support
