Job At Hand
First things first – what do you want to achieve using your concrete saw?
If you want to deep cut, you will need a heavy duty-saw like a walk-behind concrete saw. These will also help cutting evenly in a straight line. As obvious as it is; the deeper the cut, the larger the blade, the more powerful the machine required.
Note. Diamond blades are recommended to be used with water, to reduce harmful dust and improve blade life. So, make sure your saw has a water tank or water fitting.
Most saws now-days are either petrol-powered, or a battery powered. If choosing a battery-powered tool, ensure you have enough power or a spare battery to get you through your day and if choosing petrol, ensure you have some petrol on the site in case you run out.

Types of Concrete Saws
With a multitude of concrete saws on the market, it can be overwhelming to say the least. From gas/petrol-powered, electric, battery-powered, floor saws, wall saws, wire saws, hand-held and walk-behind, the options are almost endless. However they all have a suited purpose. The common units are:
Walk-Behind Concrete Saws
As the name suggests, a walk-behind concrete saw offers a machine that can be operated while standing behind it. This is an efficient cutting device that has high horsepower which can run a larger blade and therefore perform a deeper cut. A walk-behind concrete saw is easier to keep in a straight line and gives a sharper and overall better cut than hand-held concrete saws. These are often powered by petrol or diesel motor.
Hand-Held Concrete Saw
A hand-held concrete saw is powerful and is operated by hand. The benefits of this power tool is that it can be easily transported and manoeuvred. Offering the option to create smaller and neater cuts, this convenient tool is often powered by petrol or battery.
