Hacksaws are ideal for cutting through metal bolts, copper pipes or the end of a screw, but there are different types, suited to different jobs.
As a guide, a Classic Hacksaw usually has a length of about 400mm and needs to be kept at a high tension to prevent breakage.
Junior Hacksaws have a very fine blade and are smaller than a Classic Hacksaw, which makes them ideal for cutting in harder-to-reach spots.
Heavy Duty Hacksaws usually have at least two blade positions, offer tension memorisation and often include a handrest at the front of the saw.
To pick the right Hacksaw for you, think about how often you’ll be using it and what you’ll be cutting. This will help you select the right tool, at the right price.
