What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about cutting capacity: it gives a 20-millimeter cutting width and separately claims branches up to 0.8 inches. The 8.5-inch size, 8-inch blade length and 8.46-inch listed product length are also presented separately. Customer feedback is mixed about size and reports that the blade can stick shut, so consider fit and operation before relying on it for extended work.
