Hacksaw Bosch Professional 1600A039R3, 150 mm, Bimetal Blade 24 TPI

Bosch Professional 1600A039R3 Hacksaw, 150 mm

The Bosch 1600A039R3 is a hacksaw with a 150 mm blade from Bosch's professional hand-tool range. The manufacturer describes it as a tool for robust cutting of various materials, designed so that professionals in various trades can cut metal, hardwood and plastic with a reliable saw that lasts.

Carbon steel frame

According to Bosch the hacksaw is equipped with a strong carbon steel frame for strength, durability and resistance to impact. This is the part that takes the load when the blade is tensioned: for this article the manufacturer states a blade tension of 180 N.

150 mm bimetal blade

The blade is bimetal - according to Bosch a combination of HSS + HCS, with 24 teeth per inch (TPI) and a hardness of 62-68 HRC. The bimetal construction combines a hard cutting edge with a more flexible backing, which reduces blade breakage when working in metal.

Adjustable angle and quick blade change

The hacksaw has a mechanism for adjusting the blade's cutting angle and for changing blades easily. The same tool can therefore cut both in the normal position and with the blade turned - for cutting in a plane parallel to the workpiece.

Handle with soft-grip areas

The handle has soft-grip areas which, according to the manufacturer, help you work with less strain and with better control over the tool.

Applications

Typical applications are cutting pipes, profiles, bolts, threaded rod, rebar, hardwood and plastic - in plumbing and HVAC installation, electrical work, maintenance and repair. The 150 mm blade length determines both the maximum cutting depth and how easily the saw works in confined spaces.

Where this article sits in the Bosch range

Bosch offers the hacksaw in two sizes: the 300 mm hacksaw (1600A039R4) is the other version in the range. The part number is the reliable way to tell them apart.
