The 7 Best Hand Saws – Guide

A hand saw is often needed for cutting branches in the garden. Of course, it is important that the saw fits well in the hand and has an ergonomic handle. In addition, you should always consider before buying which wood you want to use the saw specifically. Not all hand saws are equally suitable for every type of wood.

So that you ultimately decide on the right hand saw, we have created a checklist for you, which provides you with all the important information about hand saws. But our product recommendations are also worth a closer look if the decision is difficult for you.

Checklist For Hand Saws

Handle
  • Handsaws can have handles made of wood, plastic, and rubber.
  • You guide the handsaw with your hand. Therefore, it is important that the handle feels comfortable. Pure wood and plastic handles are not recommended, but a mixture of plastic and rubber.
  • The handle should be ergonomically shaped. A ribbed surface provides additional grip security when using the saw for long periods of time.
Saw Blade
  • Hand saws with a coarse saw blade are only suitable for wood.
  • When buying, pay attention to the exact area of application. There are hand saws that are suitable for fresh wood. You can also use them to cut branches from trees and bushes. Handsaws that are not marked with this detail should only be used for dry wood.
  • If you want to cut plastic or laminate in addition to wood, use a hand saw with a fine saw blade. This will also enable you to cut wood joints such as dovetail joints.
Additional Functions
  • Is the saw suitable for right-handers and left-handers? If you are left-handed, you must look carefully at saws with an offset handle to see whether it can be adjusted. If so, both right-handed and left-handed people can use them.
  • Saw blades do not last forever. A characteristic of a good saw is when the saw blade can be replaced.
  • Saws should not lie around. Some models have convenient holes that allow the saw to be hung on a nail on the wall or in a closet.

FAQ About Hand Saws

What is a handsaw?

A handsaw consists of an (ideally) ergonomically shaped handle and a saw blade that is clamped in this handle. With such a device you can cut pieces of wood into certain sizes.

Which hand saw is suitable for wood?

If you want to work with wood, you should use a fine saw blade. This has a rectangular shape and can cut wood optimally.

What does a hand saw cost?

A hand saw can cost up to 45 euros.

What material is the handle of a handsaw made of?

The handle of a handsaw is usually made of wood, plastic or rubber. However, a mixture of plastic and rubber is best, as such a handle is ergonomic and fits well in the hand. This way, you can also work for a longer period of time without any problems.

Which saw blade is useful for a hand saw?

There are different saw blades, which are suitable for different purposes. Coarse saw blades, for example, can saw through wood particularly well. Fine saw blades, on the other hand, can be used well on laminate or plastic. Therefore, before you buy, think about what material you want to use the saw for specifically.

What additional functions are available?

The saw should be able to be used by left- and right-handed people. Therefore, you should make sure that the handle can be adjusted. Since saw blades wear out over time, you should make sure that they can be easily replaced. So that you can store the saw easily at any time, it is also important that it has holes for hanging.

Which hand saws are available?

There are many different hand saws, which are suitable for different applications. These include, for example, the foxtail saw, the Japanese saw or the fretsaw. However, you have to decide for yourself which one is best suited for you and your work.
