This style of saw is exceptional for fine joinery work that requires a delicate touch. This flush cut saw is a “Pull Saw.” Most people are used to European saws, called “push saws,” which cuts through a pushing motion.

Hand Saws DIY Frequently Asked Questions
The two hand saws we recommend for every DIY Tool kit?
- 1) Classic Hand Saw: Good for a typical projects when you need to cut a 2×4 but it’s not worthwhile setting up an electric saw.
- 2) Coping Saw: For those small detailed jobs requiring a small blade and fine cut.
Can I cut metal with a hand saw?
Please don’t try to cut metal or very hard materials (plastic, tile, etc.) with classic hand saw. Find yourself a good hack saw which is designed and made to cut metal. Other materials may require specialty saws such as tile. A tile cutter is recommended for cutting tile, research online or visit a tile for help finding the right tile cutter.
I have a folding saw, what do I use it for?
Folding saws are great tools for wood cutting projects that do not require precision cutting, or very fine cuts. An example of a good use for a folding saw is trimming small tree or shrub branches that are typically 2″ or less in diameter. We like folding saws! Due to their folding capabilities the sharp blade is usually covered, i.e. a great Safety First feature. They are are smaller making them easier to transport.
When do I choose a hand saw instead of a power saw?
-
1) Personal Preference: If you have a quick job, there is no electricity or you don’t have a charged battery for your power saw, a hand saw is a great choice,
- 2) Type of Job: For simple, quick DIY jobs, we find hand saws a better choice. Nothing is worse than spending 20-30 minutes setting up your power saws for a quick 3-5 minute DIY sawing project.
