Stanley Mini Hacksaw 0 20 807, STA020807

A saw point to discuss the brilliance of this small saw. Very handy.

A junior hacksaw is a great tool for many situations but there are times when you want to cut in a very awkward to reach area, and in that case this mini-hacksaw is the perfect solution. eg I had to remove the pinch bolt on a bicycle when the threads had been stripped and I couldn't get good leverage with the usual hacksaw as the bolt was in between two metal bars, but this mini-hacksaw did the job fine! I removed one star because it is quite easy to bend the blade when cutting, and once it has been bent a few times this becomes even more common, you can reverse the blade so you have one spare I guess, but otherwise replacement blades don't seem readily available (you can just buy the normal 12 inch hacksaw blades and snap one end off down to 10 inches). However at £3.79 (as an add-on item), the tool is so cheap you may as well buy a couple in the first place!

For too long I’ve battled with using hacksaw blades just in my hand when trying to cut in awkward places that I can’t get a grinder into (in a car wheel well trying to cut a seized bolt, for example). While it has worked, I decided for the sake of a fiver it was worth getting this holder since it still lets me get the blade to awkward places without the pain (sometimes literally) of cutting my own hand from gripping the blade as I cut through a stubborn bolt. It’s quicker too since it gives you a better grip! Strong enough bit of kit for the types of jobs it’s called upon to tackle and the blade you get with it is handy too.

There is no real good handle on it, no good enough grip, if you are going to try to use it to saw through a coconut, which really isn't that thick, and it is brand new, and it still takes about 8 hours to get through 1 coconut, then the consensuses is that perhaps a better saw is needed. The blade it comes with is very flimsy, yeh ya get what ya pay for, I get it, but as this brand is supposed to be reliable, and it is a teeny tiny saw, it isn't even worth the fiver. How do you expect it to cut through metal, if it cannot cut through a coconut, or even a lime or lemon, seriously. Sad!

I bought this for a specific job in the garage. It looks good and is well priced . Can't fault it.

Simple to use, handy tool, can take multiple blades, replaces a tool that #I had for years to hold blades as apad type saw.

Does the job and does it well, a must for any tool box.I have another one of these based on the same design but nowhere near as solid and well made. However I think the screw holding the blade in place could come away mid use but hasn't happened to me yet.

This is great, works well cutting through plastic with ease and comfortable when doing so—I was surprised at the time it took to cut through things, very quickly!

Très bonne scie à mettre pour petits travaux. Un peu fragile mais fait bien le boulot.

the handle nice but the blade not good qality

Replacement blade for my mini hacksaw. Fits well and works!

La usé para cortar unas canaletas para esconder por dentro los cables y las cortó bien.

I bought it for multpurpose household use and I fell in love with it at first sight. My language is not sufficient to describe how exotic it felt when I gripped it in my hand. It is sturdy, compact, light-weight and it's handle is extremely erogonomic for effortless use. It's unique design allows cutting things at places where access is narrow and other normal hacksaws cannot reach. Other hacksaw blades available in the market can also be fitted into it if so required. In some of the earlier reviews people has commented that it is good only in cutting soft materials like PVC pipes, card-boards etc., but I managed to cut a rubber pipe with embedded steel-wire-mesh (the standard hose that connects an LPG cylinder with an oven) with this saw and the blade neither broke nor nor did it bend, although it took pretty longer time than with a standard hacksaw. I think, efficiency of a tool should be assessed not only on the basis of material-quality and design but also the technique adopted in it's use. In some situations one may need to take out the blade from the hacksaw frame and use it bare. With this one you have in one place a part of the blade as bare and the other part as framed and this saves time of use. In my view this product is excellent and a must-have in every household.
