Customer Reviews

WOW this is a nice hack saw!
I picked this saw up at my local Farm & Fleet store for about $17. After taking it home and performing about a dozen test cuts in wood, metal, and plastic I felt it was a pretty good saw. Now that I have used it for over a year for various home improvement jobs I am here to say that this is a great saw. The blade changing/tensioning mechanism is fast and simple and it is easy to use. The frame is strong, the grips are very comfortable, and the DeWalt blade that came with the saw is good and sharp. I had no problem cutting any of the materials I threw at this thing. I also feel that the hand guard is a good idea (it protects your hand at that point of "breakthrough" in the end of a cut).

I highly recommend this item to anyone with a need for a quality hacksaw.

big & stout...
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?

Great saw
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.
