Workpro Folding Camp Saw (180mm) Review

The WORKPRO 180mm Folding Camp Saw fits this niche perfectly. It’s small enough to toss in your Recovery Gear kit or camp box, yet sharp and strong enough to cut through branches and scrub. Built from D6A and M2 steel, it’s more robust than your average garden saw and ideal for everything from campsite prep to emergency trail clearing.

After testing it on multiple trips through NSW bushland, this saw has become part of our go-to gear. It’s especially handy for overnighters and firewood-gathering stops where you don’t want to lug a hatchet.

What You’re Getting

The WORKPRO Folding Camp Saw is a compact, high-performance hand saw perfect for camping, bushcraft, and gardening. Featuring triple-ground teeth, a secure locking mechanism, and durable steel construction, it cuts smoothly through wood and branches with ease.

Quick Specs

If you’re ready to dive into the details, here are the key specs for this product. The table below gives you a clear and quick overview of everything you need to know.

First impressions

Out of the packaging, the WORKPRO folding saw feels well-balanced. The rubberised grip gives a reassuring hold, and the folding mechanism is intuitive. At only 86g, it’s barely noticeable in your kit. Yet, when extended, it has a solid feel—no flexing, no rattling.

The black-coated blade is thin (only 1.1mm), which helps with efficient cuts and minimizes resistance. The triple-ground teeth are aggressive and slice through dry branches like butter. This isn’t a decorative tool—it’s clearly built for function.

Materials & Build Quality

Made from durable D6A and M2 high-speed steel, the WORKPRO blade has excellent edge retention. We noticed no bending or chipping even after multiple cutting sessions. The black finish adds rust protection and reduces glare when working in full sun.

The grip handle is ergonomic with a rubberised texture that prevents slipping, even with wet or sweaty hands. It’s clearly made to last in real outdoor conditions.

Performance

We’ve used the WORKPRO saw on small trees, thick firewood logs, and overgrown campsites. It tackled green and dry wood with minimal effort, even when wet. The tooth pattern clears chips fast, and the long stroke length saves you from having to work too hard.

The locking mechanism is one of the best features—it snaps firmly into place and requires a deliberate press to close. No accidental finger cuts or blade flops. When done, it folds safely and slides into a side pocket in your 4WD drawer system or backpack.

Conclusion: WORKPRO Folding Camp Saw 180mm

This is the folding saw I tell people to chuck in their kit if they’re just starting out or want something dependable without blowing the budget. It’s not a chainsaw, but it slices through wrist-thick branches and kindling without fuss. Light in the hand, sharp out of the box, and tough enough to ride in the back of the Prado without babying it.

We’ve used it for clearing tracks, trimming firewood, and even some makeshift bush repairs—no dramas. The safety lock holds firm, the blade stays straight, and it folds down small enough to stash in your drawer system or daypack. Would I use it to build a log cabin? Probably not. But for Weekend Trips, basecamp cleanups, and emergencies—it earns its spot every time.
