A handy little saw that's just the right size for my tool box. It is sturdy, well crafted and is perfect for cutting things in hard to reach areas. I have only had the chance to use this tool once (cutting pvs pipes from an in-ground pool's filtering system that butted up against a garden shed) and it handled very well. I would recommend this saw for any one who has fixer-up projects around the house.

Why Didn't I Think of This?, April 28 2011

As usual, someone else will make all the money off something quite obvious and simple. One of the problems with hacksaws is you sometimes could really use one in compact areas where they just won't get into easily. This product solves the job and gives you better leverage to boot. Changing the blade is also a snap - literally - and given the limited space this one takes up, it makes it a no brainer to have around. The only question is whether I will ever need a standard hacksaw again.

Makes it hard to go back to a regular hack saw, April 27 2011

This compact hack saw is so convenient and easy to use, it makes it hard to go back to using a regular one. There are basically two advantages to this product over more traditional ones. 1) The blade is super-easy to replace. You just snap out the old one and snap in the new one and you're done. No need to for fiddly tools. 2) Because of the saw's design, the blade sticks out about 2-3 inches from the end, which allows you to get into smaller spaces than you could with the traditional bow-shaped saw. If you need to get into a really tight spot, this will be your best bet, plus it also allows you to saw flush with the surface. (Just pull up an image of a traditional hack saw and compare it to see what I mean.) Yes, you'll have less leverage when you're sawing with the end of the blade, but it still gets the job done. All in all, this is an awesome little hack saw.
