Starrett Hacksaw Blade, 12" Length, 1/2" Width, 0.024" Thickness, 2-Pack

These are real nice blades. I replaced an old blade with this and it cutting performance is great! I would buy again.

Excellent product. Very sharp.

This is a set of two hacksaw blades with teeth at 32 TPI (teeth per inch) Each blade is 12 inches long, 1/2 inch wide, and .024" thick. They are made of a bimetal high speed steel. I prefer to mount them with the teeth cutting on the back stroke. They are simple and easy to use. I also like to use a little lubricating oil when cutting steel. These are a very good value for the money.

I don't know whether to rate a 4 or a 5 star but these are as described and fine for my purposes which are handyman/hobbyist working on diverse set of projects in his garage.

I've been using these to cut 1/8" 6061 aluminum. Going through it very well, leaves a nice finish when done. Haven't had to replace the blade yet after several cuts. Probably best to lubricate with some WD-40 or equivalent (WD-40 is not a lubricant in itself...but for quick jobs, it will provide temporary 'lube' qualities and help keep the metal from gumming up in the teeth of the blade. Other people use bees wax blocks and so on...research the best for you). Any 12" hacksaw will fit these blades, but pictured is STANLEY Hacksaw w/Mini Hacksaw - Countertop Model 20-036M which I got from one of the bigger hardware stores. I don't wholly recommend it and you can read my review for it there if you want. If you're going to buy a hacksaw with a blade storage area, there are better options.

Look great, paper bag used for shipping was full of holes, surprised product was still inside uponarrrival. Starrett are very good saw blades.

I used this blade to cut carbon fiber steerer tubes. The hight tooth count created a very sharp, clean cut. Worked very well with no fraying at all along the cut line.

If you hate hacksaws it is probably because you've never tried one with a good blade. Starret makes good blades for hacksaws and bandsaws. These will stay sharp longer than a cheapo and at these prices, there is no excuse for using a lesser blade. Keep in mind: saw blades and files only cut one way, if you drag them backward through your cut you can chip off teeth and dull them prematurely. Don't try to cut stainless with a dull blade, it will work harden in the cut and kill the blade (a sharp blade should do fine). Don't try to cut hardened steel either. If you know what you're doing and using a good sharp blade, a hacksaw can be almost a precision tool rather than a tool you curse.

If you are going to cut Carbon Steerer's or seat posts, make sure to order extras. Carbon is very harsh on these blades and make sure to use fast light movements on the hacksaw handle or else the blade will dull very fast if you go to slow.

I used to use Starrett hole saws and these hacksaw blades are the same quality and exactly what I expected, the cuts (Mountain Bike forks) were very clean, Starrett will be my blades of choice now and I will buy more of their blades.

Nice and sturdy blade and works as a great replacement. As advertised.

Good, cut well

Lenox and Starrett hacksaw blades are reasonably priced on Amazon and are of more than adequate quality.
