The STANLEY STHT20368-1 hand saw is a 55 cm manual cutting tool intended for woodcutting tasks. It features a stainless steel blade 55 cm long, 0.85 mm thick and 135 mm wide, combined with a rubber overmould handle that improves grip and control. The saw includes integrated 45° and 90° angle guides in the handle for quick marking and a hang hole for convenient storage. The 7 TPI Sharpcut tooth pattern delivers a balance between cutting speed and finish suitable for general carpentry and DIY jobs.

Advantages

The steel blade provides durability and straight cutting performance while the 0.85 mm thickness maintains blade stiffness for precise sawing. The rubber overmould handle reduces slippage and increases user comfort during extended use. Built-in 45° and 90° angle guides allow simple marking without additional tools, and the hang hole enables tidy storage on a workshop board. The 7 TPI tooth configuration is designed to cut cleanly through common softwoods and dimensional lumber.

How to use

Secure the workpiece to prevent movement before sawing. Mark the cut line using the handle’s 45° or 90° guide if needed, then position the saw so the toe of the blade engages the wood at the start of the cut. Use steady strokes with moderate pressure, allowing the teeth to do the cutting; maintain a consistent angle for a straight cut. For longer cuts, establish a shallow kerf first to guide the full stroke. After use, wipe the blade clean and store the saw by the hang hole to protect the teeth and blade.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the STANLEY 22 in. 7 TPI Sharpcut hand saw on softwoods and common dimensional lumber. Keep the blade clean and dry to prevent corrosion and preserve cutting performance. Replace or sharpen the blade if teeth are damaged or cutting becomes inefficient. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when sawing.
