Lenox HT50 High-Tension Hacksaw

 

The Lenox HT50 hacksaw is a very nice tool. This is my go-to hacksaw.

 

This tool holds a standard 12" hacksaw blade at a high-tension, up to 50,000 PSI. It comes with a single 24T blade when new.

 

The handle has an integrated crank that is specified for 12 turns, maximum, from slack to fully tension the blade. There are user reviews where the internal parts are broken from exceeding that limitation. An image is attached showing an image of a broken internal part posted by a user with a broken hacksaw.

 

There is also an internal cavity that can hold up to 5 additional blades. 

 

One listed tool feature is the ability to hold a standard reciprocating saw blade to work as a jab saw. That feature doesn't work well. When the blade is inserted into the pocket and the side clamping screw tightened, there are not any mechanical features to resist the blade pivoting up and down making this jab saw useless as currently configured.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like the packaging. they are dope.

Been searching for good ones I could rely on and trust. Tried the Stanley and a few others and always found that something was missing. I've recently found the Holy Grail:

Vogel 5m and the Hultafors Talmeter 3m

Absolutely perfect in any and every situations !

 

Hi i am currently developing new molds of tape measures for my clients. Do you mind elaborating on the aspects of why you think these are the best ones you ever used?

 

Thanks in advance.
