Black & Decker CHS6000 6-Volt Handisaw Cordless Powered Hand Saw
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend It couldn’t be any easier than this: a cordless hand saw that cuts wood, metal, drywall, plastic, rope and more. We like it for its grab-it-and-go convenience and because it doesn’t balk at wood that’s up to an inch thick. It’s perfect for taming overgrown bushes and stray branches, but it also makes quick work of PVC pipes, vinyl gutters, wire shelving, wallboard, craft projects and a hundred other things. It’s small and… Product details and pricing info |

- Great Tool, FOUL Packaging!
- I really like this tool, and anticipate I will be using it for LOT of small jobs around the house. I'd been looking for something similar for a while but this price was the best I've seen for a lightweight, battery operated hand saw, especially from a company I know and trust. What is lacks, and what I notice is nowhere shown in the promotional photos for it, is decent packaging! I had no way to know it would come in a heavy plastic "blister pack" that took 15 minutes with an X-acto knife and scissors to extract the saw from, and left me with 2 cuts on my hand from said same plastic. It's mechanically crimp-sealed all the way around, so it's not as simple as just opening and closing the button snaps which are part of the package design, as I've seen on other tools. While this is a great way to eliminate shoplifting, it leaves the end-user stuck with no place to store it, except on the mounting bracket. The blister pack was demolished to get the saw out. OK, I don't have a full workshop, what am I supposed to do with it when I'm not using it?? At the same time and for nearly the same price, I purchased a comparable tool, a Bosch 2.0 amp sander, and it came with it's own little zippered canvas tool bag, big enough not only for the sander, but can easily accommodate screwdrivers, etc. that you might need to carry with it. B&D needs to rethink how they're packaging this tool. They can and should do better.
As time goes by... It's been about a year since I purchased this tool and a couple of things have come about. First of all, when I contacted Black & Decker about the bag issue, I'm pleased to report that they were more than happy to send me a suitable bag to keep it in, much like the one Bosch furnishes with their sander.
Second, and not quite as happily, the battery has ceased to hold more than a partial charge. It works for less than 2 minutes before it peters out. Once again, I went to the phone and contacted B&D. What was amazing is that I didn't even need a receipt to prove when I'd purchased it! They were able to tell that it was still within warranty from a manufacturer's date code stamped into the handle of the saw. Because we couldn't determine whether the problem was in the battery or the charger, they opted to send me a whole new unit! I'm AMAZED to find this level of Customer Service today! Black & Decker should be very proud of themselves for maintaining this level of service. It's truly a rarity today. - 2007-03-06, 5 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Handy, but....
- Don't expect this to be a heavy duty saw...but it is handy for the small stuff. If you have an AC powered jig saw...hang on to it because this is not substitute. Battery stays charged a long, long time which is an advantage.
