1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of scorpions!, 10 July 2007

By	Beezageoff (Norfolk, UK.) - See all my reviews

I bought one of these in 2002. Within 8 months, I was on my second saw, under warranty. The mounting holding the blade in place is very weak, and gradually wears with the result that the blade points upwards instead of level and eventually the mounting breaks. The B & D agent said that they had had several returned with the same problem. I cant have used the saw more than a dozen times in the 5 years that I have had it, and at no time did I saw wood etc more than the thickness recommended. Now, the thing has broken again. Very disappointing for something bearing the B & D name, especially as I paid �69 for it, not �39!! So, unless they've changed the mounting, I wouldn't consider another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scorpion or Chainsaw ?, 12 Dec 2007

By	Michael Churchill (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Scorpion is a really good general use saw but everyone should remember (including myself) that it is only really for light use. Where a fine cut on wood or metel is needed it is terrific. I have managed to kill 2 Scorpion saws over the last 2 years by too much heavy use. The problem is if you apply the slightest pressure on the blade if strains the blade holding device that after a few more uses will fail. If you want to cut lots of wood where finish is not too important buy a chain saw, is some cases the difference in money is only a few p.ounds. If you want a fine cut on wood or need to cut metal or plasic buy a scorpion. But remember not to push it too hard.

2.0 out of 5 stars Toys R Us, 15 Jun 2006

By	Maximus - See all my reviews

I recently embarked on a major building project and I invested in one of these saws at the start of proceedings. To be frank, I used it three times, discovered it was pointless, and have not used it since! Other tools do the same job a great deal better.

The flaws are these: The blade is rather too short and not particularly effective, and the motor is underpowered. Everything I tackled with it took a long, long time to cut through. Joists? Hardwood? Forget it - far too taxing. The most that this thing can cope with is small section non structural soft pine. You'd think it would zip right through materials but oh no! And the geometry of the handle means that control is imprecise too - when you do achieve the cut it wont be as straight as it could have been with a hand saw.

My personal experience is that a good modern full length hand saw cuts two to three times faster than this gadget! For instance, Bahco and Sandvik make some excellent saws with razor sharp teeth that sell for around �7 so you save money too. Look on any building site and that's what the pro's use for speed and accuracy, not a Scorpion saw! That's why your local builders merchant has boxes full of them. Team your hand saw with a reasonable electric circular saw (available at Amazon and at least four times more powerful than the Scorpion!) and you'll have all the kit you need to make easy work of both small section timber and longer cuts in sheet materials. Lastly, if you need to cut out holes within sheet, buy a Jig Saw with a blade guide and preferably a pendulum action.

I see that a few folks have voted this review as unhelpful, but it's merely an honest opinion based on actual experience. Buy what you want at the end of the day, but if I myself had a second chance I'd learn from my original mistake and invest my money more wisely. This machine is simply a toy.
