Hand saw AWTools AW33601 — AW33601 model, weight 986 g

The AWTools AW33601 hand saw is a compact manual saw weighing 986 g, designed for controlled cutting in renovation, carpentry and DIY projects. The working part is made of Mn65 manganese spring steel with increased resistance to deformation and a hardness of 50–54 HRC. Carbide-tipped teeth on every second tooth improve cutting performance and wear resistance. The ergonomic non-slip TPR handle provides secure grip and improved control during prolonged use. The tool is intended primarily for cutting aerated concrete blocks, insulation boards and plasterboards where precise manual control is preferred over power tools.

Advantages

The AWTools AW33601 combines a high-strength Mn65 spring steel blade with carbide-tipped teeth to deliver durable edge retention and reduced wear when cutting abrasive building materials. Its hardness rating (50–54 HRC) increases stability and resistance to deformation under load. The ergonomic non-slip TPR handle reduces hand fatigue and improves user control for accurate straight or angled cuts. The saw’s moderate weight and compact form factor make it easy to carry and manoeuvre in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Cutting aerated concrete blocks (AAC)
• Trimming and shaping insulation boards
• Cutting plasterboard and drywall panels
• Carpentry and renovation tasks requiring manual sawing
• Hobby and DIY projects where electric tools are impractical

How to use

Secure the workpiece on a stable surface or workbench before cutting. Mark the cutting line clearly. Hold the AWTools AW33601 by its ergonomic TPR handle with a firm, controlled grip and align the blade with the marked line. Use steady, even strokes, allowing the carbide-tipped teeth to do the cutting without excessive force. For thicker or denser materials, start with shallow passes and increase depth gradually. After use, clean debris from the blade and store the saw in a dry place to preserve blade hardness and carbide tips.

Recommendations for use

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles and gloves when cutting. For long cuts or repetitive work, maintain a comfortable stance and use clamps to hold the material steady. Inspect the blade for damage before use and replace the saw if carbide tips are worn or teeth are chipped to maintain cutting quality and safety.
