Bahco Folding Saw

Is there a difference between the orange version and the laplander apart from the colour and price?

There sure is a difference. With the 396-HP (the orange one) you cannot saw plastic like material and bones, but for the rest you can do the same things as with the laplander.

The popularity of the laplander, in my opinion, is based on several TV/book appearances.

For myself I use the 396-HP with no problems at all.

Kind regards,

I suspect that's just down to different blades - the actual bodies are the same, they take the same interchangeable blades, but there are 3 different blade types available for these saws.

The orange one gets my vote for high visibility - much easier to find if you put it down somewhere.

I still use an orange one that i got about 7 years ago - i still have the splare balde that i got with it.

It is not quite as smooth a cut as the green ones, but it is still better than most of the others that i have come across.

Could always get green and paint it

Yer, you don't loose the orange one when you put it down! lol

Have you looked at the Gerber folding saw too? I've used both a lot at work and find the gerber cuts quite a bit faster although I found the laplander a little more robust.
