About tools, hand; hand saws

HS code 820210 covers hand saws, a critical tool used across various industries, from construction and woodworking to DIY home projects. These versatile tools play a vital role in the global economy, enabling the efficient shaping and cutting of materials essential for manufacturing, infrastructure development, and personal use. The hand saw industry is a significant contributor to the broader tools and hardware sector, providing essential equipment for a wide range of applications.

Production process

The production of hand saws typically involves a multi-step process. First, the saw blade is cut from high-quality steel, often using advanced laser or water jet cutting techniques. The teeth are then precisely ground and set, ensuring optimal cutting performance. The handle, usually made of wood or plastic, is then attached to the blade, often using specialized machinery to ensure a secure and comfortable grip. Finally, the saws may undergo additional finishing processes, such as polishing or coating, to enhance their appearance and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hand saws include high-carbon steel for the blade, wood or plastic for the handle, and various tools and machinery for the manufacturing process. Specialized equipment, such as grinding machines, welding tools, and assembly lines, are also essential for the efficient production of these tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the machinery and ensuring the quality and precision of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the hand saw industry is, of course, the hand saws themselves. These tools are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 441120 Lumber, plywood, millwork, and wood panel merchant wholesalers, 238350 Finish carpentry contractors, 444110 Home centers, and 238110 Poured concrete foundation and structure contractors, among others. The hand saws produced under HS code 820210 are essential for tasks such as cutting wood, shaping materials, and performing various construction and DIY activities.
