• Carbide Hacksaw Blade

• This is an unreasonably long hacksaw. Crazy long. I’m not sure what my grandfather would say about “using the whole blade”. I don’t think my arm is long enough for that.

• Hacksaw Blades

• I hate these things. The blade is very easy to bend.

• Hacksaw

• Ten-pack of Hacksaw Blades

• This meat saw looks a lot like a hacksaw. It has a quick-release handle for tensioning the blade, making it easy to disassemble for cleaning (something you don’t need to do with saws for metal). It’s frankly the best-built hacksaw I have: the stainless steel frame is impressively robust, and the locking handle is strong and convenient.

• This is an unusually long hacksaw.

• This double-sided hacksaw can hold two different blades, say course and fine tooth, at the same time.

• I love the shape of this elegantly curved hacksaw.

• Power saws come later, but I put this “Iron Mike” here because it’s really just an ordinary manual hacksaw, with a gear and pulley arrangement to make it go automatically. It uses standard hacksaw blades.

• The beam of a hacksaw can be round, hollow, solid, or whatever works. The wingnut on the back is how you tighten the blade.

• This modern hacksaw has a comfortable rubber handle.

• This hacksaw can be adjusted from fairly short, to fairly long, in several increments (representing standard lengths of hacksaw blade).

• This thing lets you use an ordinary hacksaw blade a bit like a keyhole saw. It’s likely that your blade will be bent pretty soon after you start using it.

• Because the frame provides tension, you can use blades like this, which have almost no stiffness of their own. These tungsten-carbide encrusted rods let you make curved cuts through brick or ceramic tile.
