High Tension Multi-Angle Hacksaw

Additional Product Details

Bi-Metal Blade A strip of high-speed tool steel is precision welded to a flexible carbon blade; such a construction provides the combination of cutting performance and fatigue life. Bi-Metal Construction The advantages and disadvantages of each of the metals are applied in the locations. The teeth are harder, but also brittle; meanwhile, the body area of the band is softer, but less brittle, and thus more resistant to cracking and breaking. 24 TPI (Teeth per inch ) The number of teeth per inch as measured from gullet to gullet. Blades with a high TPI deliver smooth, slow cuts and are ideal for cutting metal. Description Heavy duty steel frame with aluminum I beam ensures optimal performance with high tension force; ergonomic non-slip soft handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip. High tension adjustment knob lets you adjust the tension by simply turning the knob. High tension adjustment knob also lets you easily rotate the blade in 45-degree increments over 360 degrees, giving you 8 cutting positions so you can work around the constraints of the work material and environment in 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, and 315-degree angles. Quick change lever below the handle allows for blade change on the fly; quick change also retains tension memory between blade changes so the hacksaw is ready to work right after each change. The aluminum I beam doubles as a convenient tubular storage for up to 5 blades; a heavy-duty bi-metal 12 in. x 24TPI saw blade is included.
