As per the title i am a fan of Bahco hand tools, they are a Swedish Brand now owned by Snap On which is some Pedigree.
I needed a hacksaw with a blade flush to the drop and the handle so i could get it into some tricky places, i am a fan of Bahco, i like orange, this has good reviews and is priced competitively so i picked one up.
I didnt expect it to come with a blade so was pleasantly surprised when it did, the title states its a hacksaw handle. Straight out of the cardboard sleeve it feels nicely and evenly weighted, the handle is a solid plastic unit, maybe a little rubberized insert would have been an improvement but i knew it didnt have this when purchasing so no issue.
The blade is as per the pictures flush to the bottom of the handle and the front stay which was most important to me, it just gives a little more room to maneuver around tricky angles and in tight spots, the blade itself has stayed firmly in place whilst being bashed around, no issues after a weeks use.
I havent had need to change the blade yet but have removed it from the frame just to check the fastenings and there were no problems detaching or reattaching, simple, quick, easy, secure.
I really dont have anything negative to say, its a fine piece of Swedish American manufacturing, does the job and is very keenly priced.
Five Stars.
