5 out of 5 stars excellent product   June 26, 2008
T. Booher (Alexandria, VA)
I had high expectations for this hacksaw and it impressed me on all of them. It is very sturdy saw and is able to tear through projects they used to take a lot of strokes before. I haven't changed the blade yet but it does look very easy to change. The overall feel of the saw is that it is very solid and very capable to tackle the toughest of projects. I recommend this on to any of my friends and I'm not disappointed at all in my purchase.


5 out of 5 stars BEST Hacksaw Ever   January 27, 2008
H. Hodge (Florida)
This is by far the best built and most well thought out hacksaw I have ever seen. Super sturdy. Blade storage. Quick change and has 45 degree. It is a little more than some others but you will have it for a lifetime.


5 out of 5 stars Great saw   December 16, 2007

I used to think all hack saws were the same, until I ran across this little beauty. The tension adjustment is perfect. I have a tendency to over tighten my blades, which warps and ruins them. This saw just clicks the blade into place at just the right tension.

Very comfortable to hold, easy to control, with a nice guard to keep you from getting hurt.

To top it all off, there is storage for blades inside the frame, so I actually have a chance of finding the blades I bought when it comes time to use the saw.

I really like this.

This is no doubt one of the best saws of this type you will ever own.

Strong & solid. This saw doesn't flex much at all. The handle is a little too large for my liking. It would be nice if it was slightly slimmer. I've got pretty big hands, but I found my right hand a little stiff after cutting through a metal tube. Also, the blade it comes with isn't very good. But, I wasn't expecting it to come with a blade at all. So, I suppose I can't really complain about a free blade, now can I?
