just to clear this up i haven’t used many dovetail saws so i have nothing to compare this to but for 12$ at Home Depot this saw is just amazing. i can cut straight, at an angle, or any other way i want to cut and the saw stays on track. the back pull seems so much easier and i love how it can also be used as a flush cut saw. also the blade is replaceable so i don’t have to buy a whole new one when it gets dull ( but for 12$ i would buy a new one). for anyone looking for a dovetail saw who can’t spend a ton i would recommend this saw. i would even recommend it to people who have some extra money to spend and who could get an expensive saw. this is such a great all around saw and i love it greatly!

I like marples tools too. Will look for this saw next time I’m in Lowes.

Cool. I have been locking into marples chisles at home depot, they around thirty bucks or so and look pretty nice. I’ll have to check out this saw. I have been wanting a pull saw and I saw (no pun intended) a irwin flush trim/pull saw thing that looked pretty nice but it had to big of a kerf I think. Good review. Nice price as well. :)

I’ve got one of these. I love it. It’s come in handy doing repairs around my house. I recently needed to put some dowels into a doorframe to provide something for the hinge screws to bite on (it’s a long story) and this was perfect for trimming them almost flush (I sanded the rest).
I have one of their general carpentry saws, too. It’s a fast, clean cutter, and even easy to use when sawing wood balanced on a ceiling joist while hunched under a rafter in the attic ;-)
-- Made lots of sawdust and pounded some nails. Haven't finished anything, though.
