Handsaws, while they might be popular for home use, are simply not very efficient when it comes to use on the construction site. The manually powered handsaws take too long to use, and they may not provide the control you need. Therefore, you will typically want to have mechanically powered saws.

The mechanically powered saws may have an internal combustion engine, a power cord, or even batteries in some cases. While there are certainly a large number of different types of saws and brands of saws available, you will find that they often can fit into three main categories. When you are choosing your saws to rent or lease for the construction project, they will probably be circular blade saws, reciprocating blade saws, or continuous band saws.

Some examples of a circular blade saw include circular saws, table saws, rotary saws, and concrete saws. Examples of a reciprocating blade saw include a jigsaw or a scroll saw. Continuous band saws would include a bandsaw, naturally, or a chainsaw.

There are many different types of equipment that are needed on construction sites today. You want to make sure you have everything you need to get the job done right, and sometimes that means renting a saw if you do not have it as part of your equipment already. 

There are many different companies manufacturing saws today. Some of the companies that you might want to consider when you are looking for rentals include Ryobi, Craftsman, DeWalt, Makita, and Black & Decker.
