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.
- 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.
