Gyokucho Flush Cutting Saw
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Razorsaw Gyokucho Flush Cutting Saw Ryoba 1151 is a compact Japanese pull saw designed for precise, scratch-free flush cuts on dowels and plugs. Its thin, flexible blade and dual-edge configuration offer exceptional versatility for fine woodworking. However, the non-replaceable blade and delicate nature require careful handling and limit its use for heavy-duty tasks.
The Lenox High-Tension Hacksaw is a professional-grade tool featuring I-beam construction that tensions blades up to 50,000 PSI for fast, straight cuts in metal and nail-embedded wood. It includes a rubberized handle for grip and stores up to five extra blades without tools. It is best suited for professional tradespeople such as plumbers and electricians who need precise cuts in tight spaces.
