The sawblades attack all adjacent enemies, giving them some AOE, and they can obstruct enemies, or at least reduce the enemies that can get to you.
Note that monsters tend to prefer moving in orthogonal directions rather than diagonal, although they'll still move diagonally if it would be the shortest path
