Stanley Tool STHT20350 20 in. Tradecut Panel Saw, Black & Yellow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a handy and versatile tool. It performs well on a variety of routine cutting tasks and is compact enough to be carried in normal tool boxes or bags. The tooth shape enables the saw to cut on both push and pull strokes. It also cuts more smoothly than I expected given its rather aggressive blade profile. A pleasant surprise was the ability to use the saw handle as an aid to layout/mark 45 and 90 degree cuts. It's a great one-saw solution for handy-man projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This a a 20 in panel saw, better known as a plain old handsaw. Everybody needs to have on of these around. 20" long, it will do what you need to do while still firing in your toolbox. This is a "universal cut" meaning you can crosscut and rip with it. It is 8 teeth per inch so your are not going to be using it for joinery or trim work, but this isn't that kind of saw. It is however just what you need for cutting doors making door jamb cuts when installing laminate, trimming lumber, and so forth. Indiction hardened blade, and triple ground so it cuts on both the push and pull stroke. Comfortable handle, though I am not sure how durable it will prove to be over the long run. Handle has marks for 90 and 45 degrees, though again I don't know as I would rely on them unless "eyeballing it" is good enough for the required accuracy. I wouldn't consider this a handsaw for a finish carpenter, but for other trades needing a hand saw its better than great.
