Title: Quality Hacksaw - Ebay $27

Just passing this along. I bought one. These are made by either Sandvik or Bahco in Sweden and are about the best hacksaw ever made IMHO. No plastic parts to break. You can get the blade tighter than any other saw and the frames are super rigid = straight cuts. My saw looks absolutely new, plus it came with a brand new, top shelf, fine tooth blade.

I've had mine for about 20 years, so they have been around awhile.
Very comfortable to use , good control, easy to change blade.
They got it right.

 Excellent saw, my grandmother has a slightly different version made for Klein which I logged countless hours behind over dozens of blade changes as a kid with all of my various projects.
I've tried to trade a number  of different hacksaws to her for it over the years but she won't go for it.

It'll be a sad day when I finally Inherit that hacksaw but I'll definitely treasure it, I may have to buy one just like it off eBay at some point.
