Which one should you buy?

For most Australian homeowners the Fiskars Pro Power Tooth 15-inch is the hand saw to buy: a fast, comfortable carpentry saw that chews through framing timber, ply and PVC. The WORKPRO 16-inch is the value pick at under $40 with the same everyday usefulness, and the Goldblatt Folding Drywall Jab Saw is the budget choice at well under $30 for plasterboard and tight cut outs.

For full context on why we ranked these the way we did, what alternatives we considered (and rejected), and the broader buying-guide framework, read the full The Best Hand Saws in Australia for 2026.
