American Saw Mfg Co 20161T224HE Hacksaw Blade 24T 12in 2PK

Product Description

The AMERICAN SAW MFG CO 20161T224HE is a 2-pack of 12-inch, 24-tooth bi-metal hacksaw blades built for cutting medium metals in trade and maintenance applications. Bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth edge to a flexible alloy steel back, allowing the blade to bend and flex under load without snapping. The 24-tooth-per-inch configuration suits medium-wall pipe, conduit, angle iron, and similar stock. The shatter-resistant design and tough tooth geometry reduce the risk of tooth strippage during aggressive cuts. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and pipefitters who run standard 12-inch hacksaws will find these blades a direct fit for daily service work.

These blades are intended for cutting medium metal stock in residential and light commercial trade environments. Typical applications include cutting threaded rod, rigid conduit, copper and steel pipe, and small structural sections. The 24-tooth pitch provides a balance of cut speed and surface finish suited to wall thicknesses commonly encountered in mechanical and electrical rough-in work. Sold as a 2-pack, making them practical to carry as backup blades on service vehicles or in tool bags.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and replacement should be performed with the hacksaw frame unloaded and away from the workpiece. Ensure blade tension pins or blade-retention pins are fully engaged before making cuts. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bare blades. Discard any blade showing visible cracks, missing teeth, or permanent kinking.
