This section covers unpowered hand cutting tools: utility and fitting knives, household, professional and metal-cutting scissors and snips, and hand saws for wood, metal and aerated concrete. They are needed every day in renovation, installation, carpentry and the workshop. General guidance: what hand tools are and how to choose them.
Choose the tool by material: a knife for cardboard, plasterboard and film, scissors or snips for sheet metal and fabric, and a saw for wood, metal and aerated concrete. About blade steel: hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
Snap-off knives are easy to keep sharp by breaking off the blunt segment, while folding knives with replaceable blades are safer to carry. A secure blade lock is essential.
Tin snips come in straight, left and right cut and have a maximum sheet thickness. For long or curved cuts, electric shears are faster: how to choose electric metal shears.
Choose a wood saw by tooth size and a hacksaw by blade TPI; for aerated concrete there are saws with carbide teeth. For curved cuts and large volumes, an electric jigsaw is convenient: how to choose an electric jigsaw.
