6 in. Hack Saw with Comfort Grip Handle

One.

Yes it could. If a super straight cut is required, the larger blade on a full size saw will perform better.

Unscrew the knob towards the handle to release tension. This will allow you to pop the rear end of the blade out. Let that end continue to drop, and it will be released from the front as it approaches a 90 degree angle from the installed position. To put in the new blade, do the steps in reverse. Put the blade into the front mount so that the pin engages, then pivot the blade into the rear mount and tighten the knob.

I have used mine to cut a lot of wood--from trees to various pieces of finished and unfinished wood in my shop. It is excellent at cutting; however, I would not recommend it for precision cuts without some form of guide.

For this kind of order I would consult the Contractor Or Pro Sales Associate in your nearest store. If there’s a discount to be had, these folks will get it for you. And I’ll bet there is.

It could. But if you can use a full size saw with a wider blade the stability of the larger blade will help keep a straight line when cutting.

I have used it to cut through rebar and while it took forever, it got the job done. If it can cut through rebar, it can absolutely cut through CV pipe.

Time for a new saw I’m afraid. The cost of stocking and shipping such a part would be more than the cost of the saw.

I hate to say, “How thick?”, because I may not see your reply so let me say this: this little saw uses a blade that is about 1/4” wide. It is great for some projects that are light duty. However, I think if I were wanting to cut through something thick I would prefer a full size blade. The stability of a wider blade will help keep a straight line.
