Use hand saws when you need a quick, controlled way to cut timber, plastic, metal or plasterboard without setting up a power tool. These versatile sawing and cutting tools help you complete everything from building studwork and sizing timber to making smaller repairs at home. Keep the right options in your hand tools collection for accurate cutting on site, in the workshop or during DIY projects.
Choose fine-toothed tenon saws for clean joinery cuts or heavy-duty hacksaws for cutting metal and plastic. Use compact jab saws to create openings in plasterboard when fitting electrical back boxes. For logs, branches and rough timber, choose bow saws.
Choose from familiar trade brands such as Bahco, Irwin and Draper. Use suitable clamps and workbenches to hold your materials securely. You can also keep compatible handsaw blades ready for hacksaws and bow saws you use often.
