Keyhole, Compass, Jab & Utility Saws
- Compass or Keyhole saws cut curved or straight-sided holes.
- Saw blades are narrow, tapered nearly to a point to fit into most spaces.
- Blades come in three or four styles that can be changed to fit the job.
- Some models have induction-hardened teeth for longer life without sharpening.
- Keyhole saws are small compass saws with finer teeth that can cut metal.
- Turret head keyhole blades can be rotated and locked in several positions for easier cutting in tight, awkward spots.
- Drywall Saws resemble a kitchen knife in design and is used to cut drywall and plasterboard in the same fashion as a keyhole saw, such as for sawing holes for electric outlets and switchplates.
- The saw is self-starting with a sharp point for plunge cuts.
- It may also have induction teeth for longer life without sharpening
