Organizations say demand is up and supply down for products that can be reused and recycled.
Shannon Brown I know planes get the love and hammers get the glory, but I've always had a foundness for saws. I just really like them and think they're underated.
The Stanley Works Today Toolmonger features a great collection of Stanley planes on display at the Southwest Tool Collectors Association Tool Meet in Houston.

To folks who aren’t woodworkers, this is a “pile of old tools.” To a craftsman this is a pile of old gold — and in some cases it costs as much, too. These planes on display in a booth at the Southwest ...
Robert Gerber Ps it would be nice if the sleeve would hold the saw and the extra blade. Thanks very much.
Robert Gerber I used the Fat Max saw with the changeable blades this weekend. Wow the saw cuts great and the blade is sturdy enough that is does not bow or move while cutting. I like the changable feature but wish it had a nylon sleeve/ blade guard and perhaps with a belt loop as I can see this saw on my side while working. It was perfect for finish fitting my porch.

Shannon Brown When Stanley launched their ad campaign for their new line of premium manufactures, the intro line was "They're back!". The line could have easily been "We're back!" After several years of being MIA, The Stanley Works has taken one of the most radical re-introductions of any company.
Shannon Brown Now as part of what I call “The Resurrection of Stanley” the company has introduced what it is calling it’s “Instant Change Saw System”. This system is basically a handle with 7 blades that can be swapped out as needed. The basic set I got came with the handle and two blades, a 15" 8tpi rough cut blade and a 15" 12tpi ...fine cut blade. The blades feature modern tri-hone (the teeth have three cutting edges), induction hardened teeth.
Shannon Brown My first impression was I wished the blades were longer. This is strictly a personal preference. I’ve used 15" short saws before and found them too short for my natural stroke. I inevitably wind up pulling the saw completely out of the cut. The handle was comfortable. It was molded for a proper saw grip ( three finger ...and thumb wrapped around with fore finger extended). The only gripe I have is the same one I have with 99% of all modern saws; it was a little big for my small stubby hands.
Shannon Brown The blades were beefy, around a millimeter thick. I like thick blades on panel saws. Others prefer thin blades. Once again, this is simply a matter of personal preference. One thing that is not a matter of subjective opinion is the anti-corrosion coating on the blades. The coating was either applied too heavily or need...s to be sprayed in a different manner for the coating had run down and dried around the toe of both blades; creating a slight bulge. This can be easily sanded off.
Shannon Brown The teeth have a minimal set and (luckily) sharp. I say luckily because due to both tooth design and the induction hardening make the teeth impossible to sharpen. So if you get a saw with improperly sharpened, the only thing you can do is to return it and hope for better luck next time. I actually think this is the gre...atest weakness of most modern saws. Even if the teeth are sharp, eventually they’ll go dull. At that point you have one of three bad options. Option one is to break the old teeth off and file new ones. The second is to break the teeth off and cut the blade up into cabinet scrapers and buy a new saw. The third is to take it to the recycling center and buy a new one.
Shannon Brown After looking it over I put it to work. First I tested the blades on the three basic operations of any saw: crosscutting, ripping, and the ability to track a line. I tested the blades in three different woods: 3/4" elm, 3/4" bocote, and a piece of 2x6 pine. I tested the rough cut blade first and fine cut blade second.
