American Saw Mfg Co 20160T218HE Hacksaw Blade 18T 12in 2PK

Product Description

The AMERICAN SAW MFG CO 20160T218HE is a bi-metal hacksaw blade sold in a 2-pack, designed for cutting heavy metal in demanding trade and industrial applications. Each blade measures 12 inches in length and features an 18-tooth-per-inch configuration. Bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel cutting edge to a flexible alloy steel back, allowing the blade to bend and flex under load without shattering or breaking. The tough tooth geometry is engineered to resist tooth strippage during aggressive cutting, extending blade service life compared to standard carbon-steel blades.

These blades are suited for plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who cut metal conduit, pipe, structural steel, and other heavy-metal stock in the field or shop. The 18 TPI configuration is a general-purpose choice for medium-to-heavy wall thicknesses. Each package contains two blades, making it practical to carry a spare on the job. Blades are carded for retail and tool-crib storage.
