What is this saw best for?

Small cuts in plastic, thin metal and hobby stock, especially in tight spaces where a full-size hacksaw won't fit.

Does it use standard blades?

Yes. It takes standard 6-inch junior hacksaw blades, so replacements are easy to find.

Can the blade angle be changed?

Yes. The blade adjusts to six positions for cutting in narrow spaces or at awkward angles.

How does the tension lock work?

A built-in tensioning device locks once the blade reaches the correct tension, so you don't have to guess.

Is it covered by a warranty?

The frame carries a 5-year limited warranty.

Can it replace a full-size hacksaw?

No. It is a junior saw for light work; thicker metal and deep cuts are better handled by a full-size hacksaw.

Our take on the Hyper Tough 6-inch Mini Hacksaw

The Hyper Tough 6-Inch Mini Hacksaw is a junior hacksaw with a lightweight aluminum frame and a 6-inch, 24 TPI blade for hobby and small-project cutting. The blade angle adjusts to six positions so you can work in narrow spaces or awkward angles, and a built-in tensioning device locks once the blade is properly tight. It suits crafters, modelers and homeowners making quick cuts in plastic, thin metal and small stock. Against full-size hacksaws it trades cutting depth and leverage for compactness and reach into tight spots; against basic junior saws, the adjustable angle and tension lock are the extras. Owners rate it well overall, though some find the frame flexes under hard use.
