The Benchmark Abrasives deluxe high tension hacksaw is a durable manual cutting tool built around a rigid aluminum frame, comfortable ergonomic handle, and high-leverage tension adjustment. Designed for standard 12" manual hacksaw blades, it provides a dependable platform for controlled cutting across common shop, maintenance, fabrication, plumbing, and general-purpose applications.
The high-leverage tension knob makes it easier to properly tension the blade for a firm, stable cutting setup, while the ergonomic handle provides a secure and comfortable grip during repetitive hand cutting. Pair the frame with the appropriate 12" hacksaw blade and tooth pitch for the material and thickness you are cutting.
The front of the hack saw frame also can accommodate reciprocating saw blades, turning the Hack saw into a two handed Jab or Compass Saw.

Choose the right blade and tooth pitch for your material to get the best cut from this frame.
Select the tooth pitch according to the material and section being cut. As a general rule, coarser tooth pitches provide more chip clearance for larger sections, while finer pitches help maintain adequate tooth engagement on thinner material.
Safety Tips
Always wear appropriate eye protection and other PPE required for the material being cut.
Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the cut.
Install the blade securely and verify proper alignment and tension before use.
Select a blade pitch that keeps multiple teeth engaged in the material during the cut.
Avoid excessive pressure, particularly when starting a cut on an edge or corner.
Reduce pressure on the return stroke to help protect the blade teeth.
Replace blades that are damaged, excessively worn, cracked, or missing teeth.
