Saws
How to choose saws
Type
Pick Hand Saws for occasional woodwork with zero setup, or Handheld Circular Saws when straight repeat cuts matter.
Power
Within Handheld Circular Saws, weigh corded steady output against cordless freedom from leads.
Build
Material steers longevity: stainless steel resists rust, while aluminium and plastic keep the tool light.
Finish
Colour options span white, black, blue, red, green, yellow, orange, silver, grain, red/black, handy for kit spotting but not function.
Scope
Decide if you need only a saw or the broader Tools and Hardware listings to complete the task.
What's good
- Hand Saws need no power, so they suit quiet jobs and quick timber trims.
- Cordless Handheld Circular Saws drop the lead, giving freedom around the garden or site.
- Corded Handheld Circular Saws keep cutting without battery worries during long tasks.
- The category also holds Tools and Hardware entries, so related gear sits alongside the saws.
Things to watch
- Hand Saws are slow on thick timber and will not cut metal unless the blade spec allows it.
- Cordless Handheld Circular Saws trade continuous runtime for portability, and the battery adds heft.
- Corded Handheld Circular Saws need a nearby socket and a cable you must manage on site.
- Builds using plastic or wood/plastic parts show wear sooner than all-steel or aluminium bodies.
Care & maintenance
Dry
Dry steel blades after damp use to stop rust, especially on wood/steel hand saws.
Inspect
Check aluminium and plastic housings on circular saws for cracks before each job.
Clean
Brush resin from teeth on both hand and power saws to keep cuts clean.
Store
Store cordless grips in a dry place with contacts free of dust.
