Buy It And Try It: The MXZ Pocket Saw
It looks so easy. So we head out back and see if the pocket saw really does saw through almost anything as it claims with ease. "What are we going to try this on? We have copper pipe, masonry, steal pipe, Douglas fir lumber," said Henson.
And a few other things to cut up, lets start with metal. Sure it cuts, just not quickly. "Not making a whole lot of progress here," said Henson.
We move to the copper pipe. "This is not as easy as it looks and we're trained professionals," said Henson.
Yeah, again it's working but our observers say not very fast. "I know how to use a pipe cutter, I could've gotten through it in a couple seconds no problem," said Henson.
Let's try a cinder block. This time, the progress is a bit more impressive. The pocket saw slicing right through the masonry. "I'm impressed it cut the block," said Henson.
But what about wood? Remember it says it cuts through hardwood with ease. We try Brazilian hardwood. How's that for ease. It doesn't seem to want to cut much at all. "I'm going to be at this all day long," said Henson.
Which they think could be good for the rainforest. "There will be no deforestation with this tool," said Henson.
Kurtis Ming: Have you been impressed by anything at this point?
Henson: Besides your jacket... no.
Ok maybe some PVC pipe will sway him. Once again it cuts, but they don't think it works like the infomercial. "Not as dramatic, much less luster in real life," said Henson.
They show us how a $10 hacksaw is better although admittedly it won't fit in your pocket. "If you had a small hammer, a screwdriver and a roll of duct tape in your junk drawer, and that was the extent of your tools... then this possibly could fit in with that theme," said Henson.
It's $19.95 and has a lifetime warranty. The makers will replace it for free but you have to pay $5 shipping and handling.
