    I remembered this scene and saw the saw and immediately said that that specific saw is made to cut metal.

      Could a hacksaw cut through carbide steel or some other super strong alloy? Maybe the chain was made of some such material and it’s not that the saw sucked but that the chain was special.

      Like, I have tools made to cut metal, but they don’t work on every metal.

      I bought one of these saws. The guy at the store said “that’s a metal saw”. I said “yeh duh what else would saws be made out of.” I took it home and struggled immensely with sawing the wood trim I was using it on. It took me a solid SIX MONTHS to click in to what he meant when he said “it’s a metal saw.”

        Maybe he also meant “dude, that saw is really metal”. Who knows what that saw has been capable of.
