Fast File Saw & Joiner for Windows

Used Fast File Saw & Joiner for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

When e-mailing or archiving huge files, it sometimes helps to cut them into smaller pieces. Fast File Saw & Joiner does exactly that, and puts the pieces back together, too. The interface consists of two tabs: Join File Pieces and Saw File. The controls for setting the piece size aren't very intuitive, but in our tests the program did a good job splitting and merging a 1GB file without overloading the computer. Unfortunately, it can't create self-joining packages, so recipients of your files will also need to install the program. Given that more popular and powerful archive programs, such as WinZip, also split and join files, it's hard to argue for using Fast File Saw & Joiner instead. So we won't try. If you need a free program for some quick file splitting, this one will do the job. For more regular use, you may as well pick up a more full-featured archive package instead.

Joining only works if you saw a file first
ChristophrichNovember 30, 2013
Pros
- None found
Cons
- File must end in .001. So if you have a video file, must change the end to .001. But when renaming back, there was a major problem in that the format wasn't the same as the original. Did it convert it?! No clue. Gave up and deleted it.
Summary
Not impressed.

Pros
does exactly what it is suppose to do. if you are wishing to join rar or zip files, you've got the wrong program. but for split files it works great, whether or not the files were created with this program or another split/join program.
Cons
have seen no cons
Summary
Basically a very good and light program that will join your split files (.001,002, .etc) Joined some files that HJ split refused to do, so Im sticking with this one
no good didn't work for me!!

Pros
east interface, very simple as you would expect in a joiner-cutter.
Cons
didn't work at all like it was supposed to. I tried several attempts but the thing gave me a large file output that couldn't be read.
Summary
it's marginally good

Pros
It will cut the videos as promised. It woks well
Cons
It only joins files that the program has split apart. It won't join whole movie files that it did not separate. The program is looking for extions such as file.001, file.002 etc. I wont work if your files are file1.avi, file2.avi. If you are spliting your files in order to email them I suggest you use a zipping program. Much each and way more sure.
Summary
I used it to transfer large files from external hard drives- simple!

..
Cons
You can only join their sawn files, not ones you may already have. Also u can not choose what place you need to split the file it just does even chunks
Summary
It does exactly what it is supposed to do.
