Best Hacksaws

If you’re going to work with materials as vital for construction as wood, metal, and plastic, you’ll need the best bow saw to make the most precise cuts. It’s important to stick to the measurements and always keep the sawing swift and clean. That’s why you can’t go wrong with the Pathonor Pousrewus700.

This model has a double-sided 12-inch blade that can easily slice through any material including wood, plastic, and various metals. For your convenience, each side is made to work with certain materials, with one specifically aimed at woodcutting, while the other should be used to saw through plastic, steel, brass etc. That way the edges of the cutting element will stay sharp longer and that's not to mention the three backup blades that come with your purchase at no additional cost.

Just make sure to always check the tension before you start working as some users remark that the trim nut might slide, which could cause issues later on. However, a vigilant worker won’t have any trouble keeping the cuts precise with the Pathonor Pousrewus700.

And the extra-thick blade that can handle any material isn’t the only thing that makes this model so impressive. Its handle is soft-coated and easy to grip so you won’t get tired even after several hours of woodcutting. With all of these conveniences and 3 free backup blades, you can clearly see why the Pathonor Pousrewus700 stands head and shoulders above all competitors.

Without beating around the bush, if you're the kind of person that tends to work with big blocks of wood or metal and would like to slice them with effortless ease, then you should definitely give the Stanley STHT20138 a try.

This Stanley hacksaw is a big 15-inch model with a sharp one-sided 12-inch blade that cuts through metal, wood, and plastic equally easy. It’s a shame that you only get one with your purchase as this is a really high-quality product and you might feel reluctant to use the blades of any other brand afterwards. Curiously, though, you get a second saw at no additional cost, and that is still a great bargain for anybody that frequently works with such instruments.

For occasions when you need to do flush cuts or simply raise the tension, the knob on the Stanley STHT20138 has a special ergonomic design for manual adjustment. You can carefully choose the desired angle without straining your fingers.

Choose the Stanley STHT20138 if you want two durable metal-cutting hacksaws for the price of one. The 12-inch blade will take care of any materials you need to slice through and the ergonomic handle will prevent your hands from tiring. The model is a bit on the heavy side but it shouldn't stop anyone who isn't afraid to work with his hands.

Do you often find yourself working on wood or metal and similar materials away from home, unable to get to any backup tools? If the answer is yes, you’ll definitely appreciate the Tekton 6823 since it has a nifty little feature that makes sure you’re never left stranded without a saw.

The main beam on the frame is fitted with a special hidden compartment in which you can store up to 6 backup blades. Thanks to this, you’ll never find yourself in trouble because of a dulled edge. Just make sure to stock up on the blades beforehand as you only get one with your purchase and some users remark that it won’t last too long under heavy use.

Of course, the Tekton 6823 is good not just because of the handy compartment. The frame itself is made out of high-end tubular steel and won’t twist even when facing the sturdiest metal you can find. Frankly, there is no other product of this quality at such an affordable price.

So, if you’re looking for a good hacksaw with a 12-inch blade and an easy way to keep backups on hand, the Tekton 6823 is just the right tool for you. Whether you want to make a regular cut or a flush one, the non-slip handle will help you keep a firm grip on the instrument as you saw the object quickly and easily. Furthermore, this is quite a solid low-cost tool that’s great if your work often takes you away from home and your arsenal of construction instruments.

Ever find yourself trying to fix a leak or work on a small object in a tight space? If you’ve ever had trouble with this, you know how much of a pain it can be to work a full-size saw when all you want to do is make a small cut. Thankfully, you can always get the Pasco 4290 to help you slice any object even if it’s hard to reach.

This model is especially great for solving plumbing problems as the blade that comes with the saw is intended for sawing steel, brass, and any other hard materials. You won’t have any trouble cutting through a pipe or slicing off a piece of wood. However, using it on larger objects may be tough as the blade is just 6 inches long, a necessary sacrifice for the sake of a more compact design.

While you can’t actually adjust the angle on this model, it’s pretty easy to just turn the hacksaw itself and cut the materials whichever way you want. Other than that, the Pasco 4290 is the ultimate tool for working in cramped spaces or out in the field, all thanks to how small and lightweight it is. It may not be the most durable model, as some users claim that the blade gets dull in a couple of months, but at such a low price, you can simply buy several hacksaws without spending as much as you would on a high-end model. And if you truly want to be prepared for work out in the field, take a look at some tool belts to help you carry the instruments.

The majority of hacksaws tend to be fairly large in size and weigh an extra pound or two, which isn't exactly ideal for field work or cutting smaller objects. Thankfully, you can always find an alternative on your own or heed our advice. And if the latter sounds like something you might do, we’d like to introduce you to the RoomDividersNow MHSAW1 mini hacksaw.

Now, this is one of the smallest models available with a 5.5-inch blade and 9.4-inch frame, which makes it perfect for dealing with smaller objects or cutting things that are stuck in extremely tight places. Whether you need to saw through a pipe or cut off a chunk of something blocking your way, this is the tool for you. Plus, we all know that you don’t always get the chance to move or turn the object you want to saw, especially out in the field. That is why the trim nut on this model has a special design that lets you adjust the angle in six directions from 90° to 180° without any additional effort required. No need to fiddle with the hacksaw trying to fit it in for a little flush cut, just carefully move the trim nut and you’re good to go.

Of course, the RoomDividersNow MHSAW1 does have its shortcomings since a 5.5-inch blade isn’t exactly well-suited for cutting large objects. It does, however, deal swiftly and easily with any small materials and if that’s what you usually work with, then it’s the right tool for you.
