STANLEY 1-15-122 Enclosed Grip Hacksaw, 300 mm

The STANLEY 1-15-122 is a hand hacksaw with an enclosed grip and a 300 mm blade. The manufacturer designates it an Enclosed Grip Hacksaw - with a solid steel frame and a tensioning system adjusted without tools.

Tool-free blade tensioning

The tensioning system allows quick, fine adjustment of the tension by hand. Tension decides whether the cut runs true: an under-tensioned blade bows and cuts at an angle, an over-tensioned one snaps. The manufacturer states a blade tension figure of 102 kg for this frame.

Four blade positions

The blade rotates and locks in four positions, allowing both vertical and horizontal cuts. That matters when cutting a pipe or section close to a wall, where the frame fouls and cannot pass - the blade is then turned through 90° and the frame sits out of the way.

Frame and handle

The frame is solid steel and the handle is enclosed and shatterproof - the enclosed type protects the fingers if the blade breaks during a cut. Overall dimensions of the hacksaw are 400 x 149 x 30 mm at a weight of 0.554 kg.

The blade

Supplied with a 300 mm blade, 24 TPI, 12.7 mm wide and 0.6 mm thick. 24 TPI is the standard pitch for thin-walled sections and tubing - with a coarser pitch the teeth catch between the walls and break the blade. Maximum cutting depth is 95 mm and maximum capacity 110 mm.

Applications

Used for cutting steel sections, tube, bar, bolts, threaded rod and aluminium profile, as well as plastic pipe. STANLEY lists 2 pieces in the article - the frame and a blade - on carded packaging.
