What is a "hand saw"?
A hand saw is a tool used for cutting wood or other materials. It has a long, flat blade with sharp teeth along one edge. The user grips the handle and moves the saw back and forth to cut through the material. Hand saws are commonly used in woodworking, construction, and DIY projects for making straight cuts. They come in different types, such as crosscut saws, which are used for cutting across the grain of the wood, and rip saws, which are used for cutting along the grain.
