| Firefighters with handsaws rescued four people from a house in Chingford, North East London, that had been hit by a tree. |
| One day passed and then another, and the trees blocking the roads were pared back by men wearing shorts or traditional longyis and wielding handsaws and machetes. |
| The main tools were cross-cut saws, handsaws, broadaxes, axes, spokeknives, and pocketknives. |
| They used handsaws, electric saws, and cutting tools to free her, while using sweets to distract her. |
| They fell trees with handsaws, heat their homes with wood, cut the hay with scythes and milk the cows, weed the fields and harvest the crops by hand. |
| According to the Killarney councillor, a practice has emerged in recent years of using handsaws axes and even chainsaws to cut holly branches. |
