Tools, hand; saws and blades for saws of all kinds (including slitting, slotting or toothless saw blades)
In plain English
This category includes hand tools and saw blades of all types, such as those used for slitting, slotting, or cutting without teeth. The items are separated based on their specific design and material composition. One group covers hand saws and band saw blades, while another distinguishes circular saw blades by whether their working parts are made of steel or other materials. Additional divisions exist for chain saw blades, straight blades designed for metal, and other saw blades not specified elsewhere in this section.

Chapter 82 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Power tool parts may belong in Chapter 84 or 85 if they are machine parts, not hand tool parts. Kitchen knives (8211.91) vs table knives (8215) — different classifications.
