Westward Junior Hacksaw, 10 in Overall Length, Blade Length 6 in, Steel

The short length and low profile of miniature hacksaws allows them to cut in tight spaces. Hacksaws use a thin, fine-toothed blade to make straight, accurate cuts on pipe, tubing, and thin materials that won't bend, snap, or catch the blade. They hold their blade under tension in their U-frame and cut through metal, plastic, and sometimes wood (depending on the blade). Hacksaws are held with one hand on the handle at the frame's heel to move the saw and the other hand at the head of the frame to guide the cut.
