Backsaw Bahco NP-22-U7/8-HP 55 cm Black Red Stainless Steel

The BAHCO NP-22-U7/8-HP 55 cm backsaw is a hand saw designed for accurate crosscuts and fine woodworking tasks. Its 55 cm stainless steel blade provides consistent tooth geometry for controlled cutting, while the molded plastic handle is shaped to support a secure grip during extended use. At approximately 420 g, the tool balances portability with enough mass to steady cuts, making it suitable for carpentry, joinery and general wood cutting where straight, reliable results are required.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists corrosion and maintains a uniform cutting edge for repeated use. The ergonomically shaped plastic handle reduces hand fatigue and offers a stable hold for precise cutting lines. The 55 cm blade length delivers long, even strokes, and the lightweight construction supports ease of handling and transport between job sites or around a workshop.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting softwood and hardwood in carpentry and joinery
• Trim and finishing work that requires straight, accurate cuts
• DIY woodworking projects and on-site adjustments
• Timber sizing and small demolition tasks where control is important

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Blade length: 55 cm
• Handle material: molded plastic
• Weight: approximately 420 g

How to use

Position the workpiece securely using clamps or a vise to prevent movement during cutting. Hold the BAHCO backsaw with a firm but relaxed grip on the handle, aligning the blade with the intended cut line. Start with a few careful forward strokes to establish a kerf, then use controlled, even strokes along the full blade length to maintain a straight cut. Allow the blade to do the work without excessive downward pressure to avoid bending or binding.

Recommendations

Keep the blade clean and free of pitch or debris; occasional light sharpening will restore cutting performance. Store the saw in a dry place to preserve the stainless steel blade and inspect the handle for secure attachment before use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting wood.
