Overview

The Weston 47-1601 is a general purpose handsaw built with a 16 inch stainless steel blade, the longest blade among the products in this batch. At $46.45 it's also the most expensive of this group, but it carries the largest review count here, with 2,300 reviews at a 4.4 star average.

The handle is plastic, and the saw weighs 1.8 pounds with overall dimensions listed as 21 inches long by 1 inch wide by 6.75 inches high. Stainless steel construction is typically chosen for its resistance to corrosion compared with plain carbon steel blades.

Demand is comparatively modest at 50 units bought last month, the lowest figure in this batch, even though the review count and rating both clear ToolHandle's quality floor.
