5 in 1 to get the job done.
Used to cut through several luggage wheel rivets . Took around 30 min per wheel while trying to be careful not to cut the wheel housings using the low profile setup. In the high tension mode it cut through two 1/2" bolts in less than a minute when not trying to be careful. I find wiggling the release slide side-to-side while pulling back helps with blade changes. Once you have this tool set up it feels great in the hand. There are videos online showing how to reconfigure this tool.

    Not great
    This hacksaw is awful. It's Friday night, I buy this thing out of emergency and it can't even cut pvc pipe. I wish I bought another Stanley instead.

      Absolutely worth it
      Very solid, not hard to figure out how to switch it around to the different positions. I still run corded tools, so this is my "cordless" option for when I need a quick cut. The reciprocating saw blade jabsaw attachment is great and serves as a good probe as well so you can feel what you're cutting. Extremely confidence inspiring construction.

      Terrible
      This is a terrible saw. It has too many configurations and is too heavy. I tried using it to cut a metal door sweep and I struggled to get the job done with it. If I could return it, I would.

            Broke
            It broke after the 3rd time I used it. Didn't keep receipt so I can't exchange. Do not recommend. It's a shame because most of my tools are DeWalt and are great.

                    This is a heavy duty very versatile hacksaw. It can be reconfigured in several ways depending upon the cutting job. Feels rugged and cuts straight.

                      Good concept but poor execution
                      I purchased this hacksaw twice, fhe first saw I exchanged for another one. The second, I returned for a refund! First off: no instructions for a tool that transforms to multiple uses...very poor planning First purchase: the housing that is used to change blades malfunctioned, simply didn't engage after numerous tries and cussing..... Second purchase: after exploring the 5 in 1 saw features the same mechanism that houses the blade change out did not re-allign itself to reinstall a new blade after struggling for over an hour, and yes more cussing.... Purchased a simple Milwaukee hacksaw ..no headaches

                        Nice combo hacksaw
                        This is a very nice and versatile saw. Blade changes are easy and adjusting tension is simple. The saw has a very solid feel and the rubber handles on both ends provide a good non slip surface. I like that you can turn this into a jab saw with the supplied blade as well as turning it into a more compact hacksaw for those tighter spots. I’m glad I’ve held off getting a hacksaw until I found this one.
