Abstract: A handsaw includes a handle and a blade. The handle includes a lock assembly. The blade is releaseably mountable on the handle and includes a lock engaging region located toward one end thereof. The lock assembly includes a lock structure and a manually enagageable actuator. The lock structure is movable between a lock position in which it lockingly engages the lock engaging region to lock the blade to the handle, and a release position in which the lock structure is released from engagement with the lock engaging region to enable the blade to be released from the handle. The actuator is manually actuatable to move the lock structure from the lock position to the release position.

Abstract: A saw handle for reducing the amount of vibration transmitted to a user during use of a saw. The handle includes a resilient material of lower durometer than the blade mount and is interposed between the blade mount and the user's hand in order to absorb and reduce the vibrations transmitted to the user. In one configuration, the resilient material is interposed between the blade mount and the handle in order to isolate handle from the blade mount. In another configuration, the handgrip is of a resilient material devoid of an internal structure. In yet another configuration, the handgrip is of a resilient material with an internal structure, where the internal structure may have an overlapping or non-overlapping configuration.
