A handsaw is a manual tool used for cutting wood or other materials by hand. It typically consists of a blade with teeth along one edge and a handle for gripping and applying force while sawing. Handsaws are commonly used for woodworking projects or small cutting tasks where a powered saw may not be practical.

What are hazards for a handsaw?

A handsaw, which is designed to cut through wood, can also easily cut through your fingers if you let them get in the way of what you are doing. I will also mention that it is very easy to cut inaccurately with a handsaw, which is a lesser hazard (not as serious as cutting yourself). Table saws are much more accurate.

They both get the job done, just at different paces. So, yeah, they're both powerful in their own slow and fast ways.
