Saws and I go back to childhood memories of helping dad in the hardware store. Serving customers well was always dad’s top priority and his mission was to make sure everyone left his store with just what they needed for the project they were working on. He didn’t oversell or undersell but gave good advice and people kept coming back. Naturally, I learnt a lot about hardware but I also learnt to provide people with good information. Saw Critic began as a way for me to continue helping people get the right information to help them make good decisions about their purchases, and why not saws? We all need a good saw or two or more in the shed!

My interest in saws started years ago when I found an old circular saw at a yard sale. I was still a student and didn’t have a lot of money to spend so it was exciting for me to be able to get my first tool so I could start a bit of woodworking. It started my collection, I still have it and I’ve kept on going. I’m more of a DIY guy than a professional and I love looking at all the potential products out there people can buy – it’s hard to know which ones will be best for you. So if you too are just starting out, we remember what that is like and we aim to provide advice that will help you get going, bearing in mind that budget is important when your a beginner because there’s usually a few items on the shopping list.

As a professional tradesman (carpentry) for many years I’ve had a lot of experience with different tools. Getting that professional look to your finished project is often simply achieved by using the right tools. And with the right tools, you also save a lot of time. Because I have such a keen interest in power tools I know how to evaluate them and summarise the things that are important for you to know. I can honestly say there is no way I could have used every tool on the market, but I understand the features and what they are designed to achieve, I know what features are necessary and those that are ‘gimmicky’ and I know how to recommend the right tool for a variety of different projects.
