American Saw Mfg Co 12132HT50 Hi-tension Hacksaw

Product Description

The AMERICAN SAW MFG CO 12132HT50 is a hi-tension hacksaw built around an I-beam frame construction that allows the blade to be tensioned up to 50,000 psi. That level of blade tension reduces flex during the cut, resulting in faster, straighter passes through metal and nail-embedded wood. The thick, wide tooth profile adds durability and helps the blade hold up under demanding job-site conditions. This saw is suited for licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers who need a reliable hand-cutting tool across a range of materials.

The 12132HT50 is designed for use in residential and commercial trade applications where hand-cutting of metal pipe, conduit, strut, or wood with embedded fasteners is required. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors will find this saw useful for cutting in confined spaces or locations where power tools are impractical. It ships in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for stocking a shop or outfitting a crew.

Installation Notes

No power source is required. Before use, ensure the blade is seated fully in both blade holders and tensioned firmly using the frame adjuster. When cutting metal pipe or conduit, secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement during the cut. Replace the blade when cutting speed noticeably slows or tooth wear is visible.
