Shopping for woodworking hand tools & chisels can put two very different needs side by side: holding wood securely or cutting a joint. The fastest way to decide is to match the tool to the next operation. The Lot SIX(6) clamp set is aimed at multi-point holding work, while the SUIZAN Japanese Dozuki is aimed at dovetail-oriented hand sawing.
Quick verdict
These are not interchangeable choices. Lot SIX(6) takes the lead for holding work because it is a set of handscrew clamps. SUIZAN takes the lead for cutting because it is a Japanese Dozuki dovetail hand saw with a pull-saw format. The listed-price gap is $36.19, but the decisive difference is function: clamp versus saw.

Where each product wins
Lot SIX(6) 7-inch Woodworking Clamps
- Holding workpieces: The woodworking-clamp format directly matches a task where parts need to stay in place.
- Multiple clamp points: The six-piece handscrew format is the reason to choose it over a single cutting tool when more than one hold is needed.
- A clamp-first workflow: If cutting is already covered and holding is the gap, the set addresses that specific need.
SUIZAN Japanese Dozuki Dovetail Hand Saw
- Dovetail-oriented cutting: The Dozuki dovetail wording makes this the focused choice for hand-cut joinery.
- Pull-stroke workflow: Its pull-saw format is suited to shoppers who specifically want a saw that cuts on the pulling stroke.
- A compact single-tool purchase: The one-piece format keeps the decision centered on a dedicated saw rather than a collection of holding tools.
Product notes
Lot SIX(6) 7-inch Woodworking Clamps
The Lot SIX(6) 7-inch Woodworking Clamps is the natural match when the immediate task is keeping workpieces in place. Its clamp format gives a concrete reason to choose it over a cutting tool: it is organized around holding rather than sawing. The limitation is scope. It does not perform the dovetail-cutting role covered by the SUIZAN, so it cannot replace a hand saw when the joint still needs to be cut. Choose it when the job centers on positioning or securing wood; choose the saw when cutting the joint is the bottleneck.
SUIZAN Japanese Dozuki Dovetail Hand Saw
SUIZAN Japanese Dozuki Dovetail Hand Saw suits a shopper whose next task is cutting rather than holding. Its pull-saw format works on the pull stroke; it is associated with less required power and a cleaner resulting edge than push saws. A steel blade and rattan handle add concrete detail to its hand-tool profile. The limitation is format: it is a one-piece saw, so it cannot provide the several holding points of the clamp set. The 6-inch designation also describes a focused saw choice, not a multi-tool collection. Choose it when dovetail sawing and pull action matter; choose the Lot SIX(6) set when the job calls for clamps.
Final choice by use case
- Choose Lot SIX(6) 7-inch Woodworking Clamps for holding workpieces, especially when a clamp set is the missing tool in the workflow.
- Choose SUIZAN Japanese Dozuki Dovetail Hand Saw for dovetail-oriented hand sawing and a pull-saw approach.
- Choose by price only if both jobs are equally relevant: SUIZAN is USD 38.80 versus USD 74.99 for the clamp set, a $36.19 difference.
The answer is straightforward once the task is clear: Lot SIX(6) is the clamp-centered choice, while SUIZAN is the cutting-centered choice.
