Handsaws and hacksaws are essential cutting tools for timber, metal, pipe, plastic and a wide range of building materials. At BetonTools, we stock a professional range of handsaws and hacksaws for carpenters, plumbers, builders and tradies across Australia.

Handsaws vs hacksaws
A handsaw is designed primarily for cutting timber — available in panel saw and rip saw profiles for cutting across or along the grain, and in fine-tooth versions for clean, splinter-free cuts in plywood and MDF. A hacksaw has a fine-toothed replaceable blade tensioned in a rigid frame, designed for cutting metal, plastic conduit, pipe and other hard materials. Junior hacksaws offer a compact option for tight spaces and light cutting work. Replacement hacksaw blades are available in a range of TPI (teeth per inch) for cutting different materials and thicknesses.
