Use pull saws when you need more control during joinery, trimming or cutting close to a finished surface. Unlike conventional push-stroke hand saws, they cut as you draw the blade towards you, keeping the metal under tension throughout the stroke. This action makes them precise sawing and cutting tools for detailed carpentry, installation and DIY work, earning them a useful place in your hand tools kit.
Because your pulling action supports the blade, it can be thinner than many standard saw blades. This creates a narrower cut and helps you work accurately around skirting boards, architraves, plugs, dowels and decorative trims.
Explore pull saws from brands such as Tajima, Irwin and Draper. For decorative flooring materials, a specialist laminate saw may be more suitable. A stable workbench can also support your timber during detailed cutting.
