Where to Buy Concrete Saws
To cut through concrete, brick or slab walls, construction professionals use concrete saws. Much like masonry saws that are used for cutting bricks, tiles and blocks of stone, the concrete saw can be powered from a stand, used as a handheld device or on wheels. It is typically powered by electricity, but some models use gas or air compressors. Both saws are extremely dangerous and must be in good working order to avoid accidents. Make sure the supplier is reputable and that the proper blades and guards are in place before using concrete saws.

Online
-
While there are a plethora of online suppliers for concrete saws, look for those companies that have a history in the industry and are more product-specific, rather than general tool importers. One such company is Contractors Direct, which deals mostly in masonry tools and has been serving the industry since 1993. They provide a live customer-service number, quantity pricing and expert advice.
Retail
-
Manufacturers of concrete saws can provide locations for local dealers of their products through locators on their websites. Many construction professionals prefer to stick with known brands they've had good experience with and can find products easily through manufacturer websites such as ICS and Norton Clipper. Northern Tool + Equipment is one of the biggest retailers that carries a wide selection of concrete saws with online and retail shopping available.
-
Wholesale
-
Most concrete saw suppliers offer discounts to contractors and construction companies that purchase saws in large numbers. Wholesale direct companies like MK Diamond Saws will ship to any buyer at what they claim are wholesale prices. Ship directly from overseas manufacturers through global supply sources like Global Sources that provide links to international wholesalers.
Replacement Blades
-
Big box retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot carry a limited supply of small concrete saws and stock a number of replacement blades for common brands made by companies such as DeWalt. Most of the retailers and wholesale companies that sell concrete saws also offer replacement blades for their product lines.
Used
-
Since concrete saws can be dangerous when not operating properly, it's vital to know the source of used equipment. Previously owned concrete saws in good condition with new blades can save contractors a lot in equipment costs. Used saws can be found on auction sites like eBay or more industry-specific sites such as Used Iron. Rental companies such as United and Rental HQ often have sales of previously rented equipment when they upgrade with new models.
