Milwaukee 48-22-0012 Compact Hack Saw

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-22-0012 is a compact hack saw designed for small cutting tasks in tight spaces and confined work areas. It features a tool-free blade change system that allows fast blade length adjustments without additional hardware, reducing downtime in the field. The adjustable blade length accommodates flush-cutting situations where a full-size hack saw cannot reach. A rubber overmold grip provides a secure, comfortable hold during extended use. At 3.51 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-hand operation in overhead or restricted-access applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians commonly carry this saw as a secondary cutting tool on service calls.

The 48-22-0012 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where fast, portable cutting is required. It performs well on copper tubing, metal bolts, small-diameter PVC, and similar materials encountered on typical mechanical, plumbing, and electrical jobs. The compact frame makes it practical for under-sink, attic, and panel-adjacent work where full-size saws are impractical.

Installation Notes

Follow applicable trade codes and wear appropriate eye and hand protection during use.
