Hi,

"The ordinary saw is not easy to use. So too a hammer is something that any novice can handle."

Does so too sound allright? It looks kinda weird. Maybe another suggestion?

The basic idea of 'So too' is to say 'more of the same', and not to introduce a contrast as your example does.

You need to say something like

"The ordinary saw is not easy to use. So, too, a hammer is something that is difficult for any novice to handle."

I've also added commas before and after 'too'.

Best wishes, Clive
