Avoid straining too much (and breaking your hand) the next time you have to cut through concrete by choosing the right saw.

Those design/build jobs can be a pain if you don’t have the right equipment. That’s especially true when you need to slice through a tough piece of concrete. You’ll want to look at these concrete cutters the next time you’ve got a slab in front of you.
