American Saw Mfg Co 20162T232HE Hacksaw Blade 32T 12in 2pk

Product Description

The AMERICAN SAW MFG CO 20162T232HE is a 2-pack of 12-inch, 32-tooth bi-metal hacksaw blades designed for cutting non-ferrous metals. Bi-metal construction allows the blades to bend and flex under stress without shattering or breaking, extending service life compared to standard carbon blades. The tough tooth geometry is engineered to resist tooth strippage, which is a common failure point when cutting harder non-ferrous stock. These blades are packaged on a card and sold in pairs, making them a practical stocking item for trade professionals who run through blades regularly on the job.

These hacksaw blades are suited for use on non-ferrous metals including copper tubing, aluminum conduit, brass fittings, and similar materials commonly encountered in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work. The 32-tooth pitch is well matched to thin-wall tubing and sheet stock where a finer tooth count produces cleaner cuts and reduces burring. They fit standard 12-inch hacksaw frames used across the trades.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction allows blades to bend and flex without breaking or shattering
• 32-tooth pitch optimized for clean cuts on thin-wall non-ferrous materials
• Tough tooth design engineered to resist tooth strippage during use
• Shatter-resistant build reduces risk of blade failure mid-cut
• Sold as a 2-pack for convenient jobsite stocking
• Fits standard 12-inch hacksaw frames

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 12-inch hacksaw frames. Intended for cutting non-ferrous metals; not rated for ferrous steel or hardened alloys.

Installation Notes

Install the blade with teeth pointing forward, away from the handle, so cutting occurs on the push stroke. Ensure the blade is tensioned firmly in the frame before use — a loose blade will wander and strip teeth prematurely. Power down or de-energize any equipment before cutting into installed piping or conduit. Dispose of worn blades safely, as broken bi-metal blades have sharp irregular edges.
