1. Hand saws
There are many hand, petrol and electric tools that have the word "saw" in their name. This diversity is explained very simply: each type of saw is designed to solve a specific (sometimes very narrow) range of tasks and is "sharpened" for working with specific materials.
This can be easily seen in the example of conventional hand saws. Even such a simple tool is divided into many types and subtypes, which differ in the shape of the blade and the way it is attached to the handle, as well as in the size, configuration, frequency, sharpening and setting of the teeth. Therefore, even hand saws have their own working niches and specializations: for dry wood or live wood, for sawing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, for working on plasterboard or foam concrete, etc.

Since working with a regular hand saw, even if it is good and sharpened correctly, requires significant physical effort, it is much more convenient to use saws with an electric or gasoline drive. They allow you to do more work, saw more accurately and get less tired.
