Description:

A keyhole style saw that allows the user to use a hammer to drive the blade into a board, withdraw the blade, and then saw whatever opening is required without having to drill a starting hole. Advertisements claimed that it could be driven through a two-inch board, cross grain or with the grain, without breaking.
