Silky GomBoy Screw Set (Fits PocketBoy and BigBoy)

The Silky GomBoy screw set is the replacement pivot hardware for Silky's GomBoy, PocketBoy and BigBoy folding saws. If your blade wobbles, the lock feels vague, or the screw has gone missing on a job, this is the inexpensive fix that keeps a good saw in the pouch.

Why the screw set matters

A Silky folding saw pivots on a single screw and nut. Fold it open and closed a few hundred times a season, drop it out of a tree once or twice, and that hardware loosens, strips, or simply backs out. A blade with side play cuts crooked, binds in green wood, and puts more stress on the lock than it should.

This screw set replaces that pivot hardware on GomBoy, PocketBoy and BigBoy saws. It is a small part, but it is the difference between a saw that tracks straight on a clean pruning cut and one that wanders and tears bark. Browse more pole saws, poles and kits if you are setting up a full pruning kit.

Silky handles and blades hold up for years, so the pivot hardware is often the first thing to give out. Replacing it costs far less than a new saw and keeps a familiar, broken-in handle in your kit.

Fitting and care

Remove the blade, clean pitch and grit out of the handle, and fit the new screw and nut snug enough to remove play while still letting the blade fold freely. Check that the lock engages fully in the open position before you go back to work.

Confirm the set matches your specific model and blade size with the seller before ordering, since Silky has made these saws in several sizes over the years. Keep a spare set in the truck; it weighs nothing and saves a day of cutting with a loose saw.
