jigsaw 11,863 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Anyone familiar with the wire on two rings used to cutthrough roots etc,You put a ring on each finger and pull back and forth as it cuts its way through the root.Tungsten wire I believe it is.Sorry for the dodgy description but I expect you get the idea.Are they any good basically.Could have done with one today.

Guest JohnGalway Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Got one to try out, bit useless IMO. I used to have a small fold out saw, blade sharp as hell maybe a foot long, good job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
