Radak did not specify what Kli it was. "Va'Yigzeru" (they cut) suggests that it was a saw, like Rashi writes; an ax is used to chop. However, below (6) Radak says that the wood entered the hole in the blade. This applies to an ax; I did not find any Meforshim discuss a hole in the blade of a saw. (PF)
