Saws

Saws are essential cutting tools used across plumbing, construction, carpentry, and metalworking for cutting through materials like wood, plastic, and metal. Each saw type is engineered for specific applications, providing accuracy, speed, and control in cutting operations.

From hand saws for general-purpose cutting to hacksaws for metal and pipework, and PVC saws for clean plastic pipe cuts, selecting the right saw ensures clean, efficient results and minimal material waste. Specialist designs, such as mini saws or flush cut saws, allow access in tight or awkward spaces where precision is critical.

Quality saws feature ergonomic grips, durable blades, and are often compatible with replacement blades - making them long-term additions to any trade toolkit.

Hand Saw:

• General-purpose saw for cutting wood and soft materials
• Ideal for framing, joinery, and basic site cuts

Hacksaw:

• Fine-toothed saw designed for cutting metal, plastic pipe, and tubing
• Replaceable blades for extended use

Junior Hacksaw:

• Compact version of a hacksaw for light-duty and precision metal or plastic cuts
• Ideal for confined or detailed work

PVC Saw / Plastic Pipe Saw:

• Coarse-toothed saw for fast, clean cuts in plastic pipe (MDPE, uPVC, ABS)
• Often used in plumbing and waste installations

Coping Saw:

• Thin, flexible blade ideal for curved cuts and fine woodworking
• Commonly used for trim work and detailed shaping

Flush Cut Saw:

• Flexible blade for trimming dowels, pipes, or plugs flush to surfaces
• Useful in finishing and repair work

Plasterboard Saw (Pad Saw):

• Narrow blade with pointed tip for piercing and cutting drywall or plasterboard
• Commonly used for installing sockets and access panels

• Cutting metal pipe and conduit (e.g. copper, steel, aluminium)
• Trimming plastic piping such as uPVC and MDPE
• Shortening threaded rods, bolts, or screws
• Cutting through brackets or fixings during installation or demolition
• Removing corroded or seized fasteners

Hacksaws use a replaceable, fine-toothed blade under tension in a metal frame, offering controlled and accurate cuts. They're especially valued for their versatility and ability to cut through tough materials in tight or awkward spaces.
