Handsaw

The Handsaw is a rare tool used for cutting boards into sticks, Cloth into Rope, and Scrap Metal into Wire by putting the Handsaw in the tool spot while crafting.

Advantages

 * Invaluable for building a base, as it greatly increases the ease of acquiring large numbers of sticks.
 * Also extremely useful for crafting wire traps such as barbed wire or electric fencing, and removes the need to hunt extensively for rare wire.
 * Can be used as a melee weapon if you have no other options.

Disadvantages

 * Very low damage-per-hit, requiring several hits to take down a single civilian zombie.
 * Short attack range, increasing the risk of using it against zombies.
 * Slow swinging speed.
