HANDSAW
The most basic of cutting tools are still the essentials for any kit. But they’ve been improved over the years to work better and safer.

By: Dan Weeks

Almost eclipsed by a plethora of power saws, the humble handsaw still has many advantages: it’s inexpensive, lightweight, compact, quiet, relatively safe, and can trim wood in close quarters and without being tethered to a power cord. Redesigned, hardened, razor-sharp teeth help this Kobalt handsaw cut much faster than older step-tooth saws.
