Score: 82/100
Jorgensen Pro Hand Saw
Score: 78/100Rankings

The Bahco PC-24-TIM is a professional-grade 24-inch timber handsaw designed for aggressive coarse cutting in thick, wet, or treated wood with a resharpenable blade. Its primary trade-off is the need for maintenance skills and the roughness of the cut, which precludes its use in finish work. It is best suited for professional carpenters and framers handling coarse cuts in thick timber.

The Jorgensen 20 Inch Black Coated Pro Hand Saw is a versatile universal saw designed for fine cuts in woodworking, gardening, and drywall. It features a rigid 0.85 mm blade with a low-friction coating, though it lacks integrated angle markers. Ideal for DIYers and woodworkers needing precision trimming on softwood and plastic pipes.

Professional reviewers and editors position the Bahco PC-24-TIM as a high-performance tool for professional users handling coarse cuts in timber. They highlight its super-sharp GT-toothing and fileable blade as key advantages for reliability in varied timber conditions, including wet and tanalised wood.
Everyday users and consumers frequently praise the saw's ability to cut through pressure-treated lumber like butter, noting its speed and lack of binding. The ergonomic handle and built-in angle guides are common highlights for comfort and utility. However, recurring complaints focus on the need for sharpening skills, the roughness of the cut for finish work, and the weight making one-handed use difficult.
