hacksaws?

[jbltwin1]

Little mini saw that I use a lot. WAS my dads, now mine, and I'M 71. Couldn't find blades the right size. Everything I found was too long by about a quarter inch so I mig welded in a section to use standard blades.

Picked this Eclipse no.55 saw today. Only bought it because how odd it was. Strange that it has a hacksaw blade on the bottom but is like the size of a coping saw. Also not sure the age of it

How did you get the handle so shiny.

How did you get the handle so shiny.

I lightly sanded the rust off with a red scotch brite pad.Then I use foam backed polishing pads. The pads are 2 inch by 2 inch squares and starts at 320 grit all the way up to 3500 grit. I start with 320 and cont up to 3500; after that I take it to a buffer wheel.

Be careful--that can lead to drywall work!

Didn't take to long to clean this one up.
Filed off the casting lines that ran around the outside and inside perimeter of the handle. Sanded and a quick polish.

Not a quality tool, but was US made.

Nice. Looks like you were able to make the screw head look right.

I found a Consolidated Tool Works No. 27 pistol grip hack saw with a composite grip. It was part of their Pilot line. It was in their 1923 "Miniature Catalog" that they published in Hardware Age and Hardware World.






(I need to do a little surgery to provide a more correct front blade holder - I'm working on that.)



@d42jeep previously posted Consolidated's handle tensioning version...

I found a handle tensioned wood handle hacksaw from a company I hadn’t run across before. Consolidated Tool Works Inc. New York USA. From what little I could find on the Internet, they were around in the ‘20s.
