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.
