Milwaukee 48-22-0012 Compact Hand Operated Hack Saw w/ Tool-Less Blade Change (10 Inch Blade Included)

My plastic Stanley broke after many years. This works so much better, the grip is wonderful, and it is extremely sturdy and easy to use. It is an excellent value for the money and very versatile.

Won’t disappoint. Easy to change blade and handle will hold up comfortably even with frequent use.

Handle is shaped good for gripping, holds the blade well, & performs well, disappointed that the lever that locks the blade in doesn't secure tightly & flops around 🫤 expensive milwaukee brand shouldn't do that!

occasionally worth its weight in gold.

Worked great for the project I needed it for! I tried for months getting the old hose connector off my spicket to connect a new hose. As a last ditch effort, I purchased this mini saw and wow, it did the trick! Wish I had found that YouTube video sooner that recommended this if all else failed. Being a woman, I was intimated by the thought of buying a sharp tool that I might inadvertently cut my arm off with! But it was easy and the size was perfect for getting into that very small area to cut to connector off.

It is a life saver during extremely limited access to cut pvc pipe deep in a rebar and tension cable beam.... It's still a pain for sure but it beats using a hacksaw blade with just fingers. The extension ability is awesome!!!! 😀 I like this hacksaw because it also accepts regular sized hacksaw blades. So in a pinch, I can load up my hacksaw blade and still get the job done. One con I found but negligible (but if you can overcome it, more power to you Milwaukee). Sometimes when I'm sawing, one of the rebars will knock open the hacksaw causing the blade to loosen, at which point, sawing ceases and I have to lock the blade tight again. Still, Awesome mini hacksaw. It's in my bucket when I go to the construction deck in case I have to deal with those nightmare pvc pipe cuts in the jungle of rebar.... in a beam. I highly recommend this product.

This seems like a nice tool, but the blade that came in the package is beyond basic. I am trying to replace the wheels on my suitcase and bought this hacksaw to cut through the axles. While I was able to access the axle, the blade wore down and warped in minutes. So now I need to go to the hardware store, which I was trying to avoid.

I'm painting a bedroom and replacing the baseboard. I came upon an old land-line box of some sort near the baseboard and couldn't get it out because it was nailed sideways into the stud. After struggling with pry bars, hammers and other tools, with no success, I ordered this little saw and sawed through that nail with ease. Problem solved.
