Hack Saw, 5-in-1 (DWHT20547L)

Gonna keep this short. This hacksaw is pretty good, I like that it multiple ways to be used, though I've barely used it detached. It feels really sturdy and is quite comfortable to handle, it is a bit heavy though so cutting is a bit more of a workout then it already is, but that's not a problem to me.

Unless the job is small, using a handsaw on anything these days is typically not a lot of fun. The DeWalt 5 in 1 hacksaw doesn't change that but, it does help you make the best of the situation. It does that by first, offering an amazingly rigid frame. It is not steel but it is very rigid in spite of the fact the front end hand grip is readily removable. Second, the blade tensioning mechanism was (I thought) a bit funky at first but given a few minutes of familiarization it as a very well designed aspect of the saw ... and it really is simple to use (once you get past its learning curve). With a high tension, sawing is made far more accurate and smooth. Next is the saw's versatility ... gee with 5 tools in one, that is a hard feature to beat. No need to repeat the product description here. I examined several hack saws at a local hardware store (at a higher and lower price point) before settling on a purchase. I wanted to handle the thing before I bought it. Well, the moment I picked up the DeWalt, I felt this is a surprisingly robust hand saw and the feel, heft, balance and overall impression sold me over others that are considered peer products and at a similar price point (or higher). One reviewer said he shaved off material to let the tensioning lock system operate more smoothly. I agree that the tensioning lock is tight but the saw is new, and I have the opinion it will loosen up naturally over time and with normal use. But I did add a small dab of some white lithium grease to smooth the process. The grease will not help it wear, but will help it operate more smoothly during the interim ... and it will do so without degrading the integrity of the tool. For those times I need to change the blade I will reach for a small screw driver to unlatch the lock mechanism Admittedly, I have used the saw only on limited applications at this time including such things as angle iron, PVC, and thin plywood ... all with excellent and precise results. I have not yet used it as a jab saw or the 45 degree option, but look forward to the opportunity to do so. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and wholeheartedly recommend this saw to anyone looking for a solid hacksaw with a great robust design, and optimum versatility.

I bought for the name. Dewalt has always made quality tools and this is no exception. It's a great addition to any tool box. You get a hacksaw that has an excellent tensioner on it. I feel like any tighter and it's gonna break, I love it. You pop off one handle and you have a hole saw for drywall. There's 3 different ways to angle the blade to fit any situation and you don't need any tools to do it! I would consider this a great buy. Between this and a mini hacksaw for plumbing you are all set for metal cutting.

This is a great saw

This Dewalt hand saw is very versatile since I can not only use it in my metalworking workshop but also in carpentry, even in gardening since it has an accessory as a hedge trimmer. But what made the most impression on me is its robustness, unlike the other 2 hand saws that I have in my workshop, this saw's handle is very wide and this would sound like a negative factor but not at all; I love it, apart from how I said, its weight is greater and this makes it very comfortable to work with and I think that the people at Dewalt were looking for this sensation and if so and I'm just speculating; Well, they did it!!! How comfortable this saw is for cutting and even more so for when what you have to cut is a large caliber tube. I hope this information is useful to you... Blessings Esta sierra de mano dewalt es de gran versatilidad ya que no solo puedo utilizarla en mi taller de metalmecánica sino también en carpintería, inclusive en jardinera ya que tiene un accesorio como corta setos. Pero lo que me genero mas impresion es su robustez a diferencia de las otras 2 sierras de mano que tengo en mi taller esta sierra en el mango es muy ancho y esto sonaría como un factor negativo pero para nada; Me encanta aparte como lo dije su peso es mayor y esto hace que sea muy cómodo de trabajar con ella y creo que los señores de dewalt buscaban esta sensación y si es asi y solo estoy especulando; pues bien, lo consiguieron!!! Que cómoda es esta sierra para cortar y mas para cuando lo que tienes que cortar es un tubo de gran calibre. Espero esta información te sea útil... Bendiciones

Works great. A bit heavy, but otherwise a very high quality saw. Happy to have this. The 45 degree cut option is really neat too.

Easy to change configurations and cuts real nice. Super pleased with this saw!

Exceeded expectations. Well made. Versatile.

Produit pratique avec les différentes fonctions. Quant au prix il est justifié, il faut mettre le prix quand on veut de la qualité

Ótima compra

Great product, the ability to change shapes for different applications makes a perfect saw. Is a little heavy but overall a good value for the money

Una belleza y excelente herramienta , algo pesada pero ese mismo peso ayuda
