Locking mechanism fails
A heavy saw that doesn't work: the locking mechanism doesn't bloc and because of that the saw doesn't stay rigid. While working it flaps double like a scissors: the snow unlocks the locking mechanism. Roeland van Oss - IFMGA Mountain Guide

Locking mechanism fails
Locking mechanism gets jammed with snow and won't lock, very annoying when you are trying to build a wall. To top it off one of the screws holding the plastic at the back of the handle came unscrewed and got lost.

locking mechanism fails
Saw cuts great at first..until snow builds up under locking mechanism. Then saw will collapse on your hand. Useless until design is fixed.

efficient and ergonomic
Recently went on a ski/ snowshoe tour in Sequoia. It was so fun, our friend brought the MSR basecamp snow saw. It was fast and efficient in penetrating the snow to make near perfect blocks to build our shelter. Great buy and perfect for the winter camping season
