Chainsaws are notoriously the most dangerous hand tool you can purchase without a license. In the US they cause over 40,000 injuries a year. But all that is set to change with the introduction of Kevin Inkster’s radical new Petrol Allsaw, a remarkably versatile tool which slices effortlessly through wood, bricks, cement and even dirt, but won’t slice your hand off.
The Petrol Allsaw is a chain saw and a disc cutter rolled into one, only better, safer and more versatile than both. Its revolutionary dual blade orbital cutting action combined with a high velocity hammering action means it can cut easily through bricks, wood or cement, but not so easily through human flesh.
In addition, the design of the blades means that there is no exposed cutting edge on the top of the blade, so there is virtually no risk to the user from “kick back” or accidentally falling on the blade.
tool which could match or outperform the chainsaw in efficiency and versatility.
Two things impelled Kevin down this path:
The first was a near miss with a chain saw. He slipped on a log while cutting wood and his hand went onto the blade. Luckily, he got away with a few scars that time, but it set him thinking about how to make a safer saw.
The second incident was watching foresters cutting trees with chain saws. They always avoided the lowest part of the trunk and roots because the dirt would clog the chainsaw. But from a woodworker’s point of view, these are often the best bits. So he had to develop a saw which could cut through dirt, gravel and wood with equal ease.
If ya can use a powered tool....this and a shovel may be ALL YOU NEED!
