Help me choose a new hacksaw

[soulstryke]

Starrett is the one and only choice in hacksaws and hacksaw blades. Best quality for the money you pay

people still use them..

 

[pendragon1998]

I can understand that. I don't usually have a lot of cuts to make at one time, so weight isn't a priority for me.

Hi chaps,

How do you properly adjust the tension of the blade on the Bahco 325 ?
I afraid of putting too much tension on the blade...

Is there a way of gauging the blade tension ?

Thanks

My Snap On seems like I tighten forever by hand. The first time I thought it was tight, but the blade had flex, so I cranked on it until I thought it was dang near going to break...but that's what it likes.

Once i went into a power hackzawl i could never go back... Then, once i made to switch to a milwaukke cordless battery hackzawl i could never go back.

I have had a couple of Sandvik hacksaws like the one below for over 30 years. They have worked very well for me. As a mobile mechanic, the ability to store an assortment of extra blades in the square tube spine of the saw has paid off many times, not only when breaking/dulling a blade, but also when I need a coarser or finer tooth blade.

These are kick *** saws if you can find one that was made in Sweden. I've used mine almost daily for over 10 years. The Lenox in the original post is a piece of garbage.
