Super Hacksaw !

This post will most likely bore our lady members senseless

I needed to cut a couple of pieces of steel tube today . Got my trusty hacksaw out - 40 years old . Can't get a good tension on the blade , so the cut was not great as it was at an angle of 30° ! New hacksaw needed I thought . My how they have come on in the last 40 years Look what Stanley do now - below....
Plus I work for Stanley so can order it from the staff shop

 

Tools are never boring...let us all know how it is to use when you have given it a good test...

 

" M " ,

I can't see why you've just gone and put " funny smilies " on the posts in this thread.

I reckon I must need a sense of humour transplant as I can't see what's so funny about a new hacksaw, or about what Sandy said


If it's something that doesn't interest you why not just ignore the thread altogether ?

 

That is fasinating. Wonder if they are getting marketed over here as I'd buy one. At the moment I use my pipe cutters for cutting tubing. Got a metal chop saw. And two mini/girlie hacksaws. Love my power and hand tools. Sorry to say that my tools are a mixture of brands. But I do recognize Stanley as a very highly regarded manufacturer.

Got more tools in this house than most renovation companies have.....another addiction....

oh yeah, we watch to make sure that the OH returns them after each use. His AND Hers !!!

 

Could have done with one of these to cut those two damn canoes up!

 

Just a little laugh at the innuendos in the posts

 

They should be sold in Canada , Stanley Black and Decker are an American company.

 

@HarryS of course if that hacksaw had been made at Clarington Forge, it would have been a lot better... (and the design would have been the same as it was in 1780!)

 

Yes Bulldog Tools at Clarington , their 1780 model was never bettered

 

No sure why you are targeting me/my post? Nor why it appears to have upset you!?
You are *assuming* the thread doesn't interest me I found it fascinating!

Don't worry @Anthony Rogers - we all have differing views about what amounts to amusing; it's what makes the world (and hacksaws!) a far more interesting place

 

TBH I've hardly used a hacksaw since buying my first angle grinder about 30 years ago, apart from a 'junior hacksaw' used far enough away from mains electric and/or where using my generator/cordless tools would be too much hassle.

 

I like my matches!!
My hacksaw blade has lots of notches on it

 

You can't beat a good whizzer I have a 115mm one with abrasive , diamond and flapper discs . Very versatile from sharpening lawn mower blades to planing wood !
