I prefer sawing most of my dovetail waste out with a fret saw instead of chopping it out with a chisel. Sawing takes less effort and is easier to control. My fret saw features;
Pinned handle to prevent separation
Handle taped like a hockey stick for better grip and control
Frame is stiff and top mounted wing nut allows tightening

Product came in as expected. I can tell that it’s a quality made tool. I absolutely love the grip. Tape are provided on the handle. It makes a difference.

Fantastic saw!
The biggest problem with other fret saws that actually cost much more is the blade wiggles loose constantly. This saw does not do that. It holds the blade firm and at a much lower price point!

Fret saw first use.
Saw is everything you claim. It's a tough little thing too. When I first assembled it I was a bit skeptical about that tiny blade. But, I twisted it to the angle you suggested and it held up great. (I thought it just might go "BOING" with a popping snap).
I've cut about twenty joints and am learning.. So far, I haven't gotten below the line on either side (yet), and am getting straighter and closer each time.
Great tool and well thought out design. Still using the first blade.
Keep up the good work Rob!
