Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!
Two of my favourite hack saws.

As I’m sure you can imagine, those are “10 a penny “ over here.
The junior hacksaw is probably only second to “a hammer “ in virtually every household.

No doubt as we have very common brands over here. The larger one for me is very comfortable to use and the small one is versatile.
On job sites I will use a hacksaw which has a D shaped handle or use a reciprocating saw.

As a very callow 'yoof' around 1968 when I started my Plessey apprenticeship, we were given a list of kit to buy and at that time, there were plenty of good tool shops in the high streets of the UK. Sadly, those days have looong since passed, but the Eclipse hacksaw:
...is one of tools I purchased each week from my measly wages. The red CK handled pliers shown were also bought one week as were the excellent quality (Swiss I think) wire cutters and small snipe nosed pliers. The Junior Hacksaw is a more comfortable version of the steel framed saw but both are great and worthy of a place on the 'Tool Wall' in the dirty corner of the workshop. The original 'Mole' grips also date from the 60's - Rob

Goes to show that good tools will last more than one's lifetime. I was fortunate to receive a lot of good small hand tools from my late father inlaw whom emigrated to Canada in 2004.

I was lucky enough to inherit a Starrett No. 153 from my wife's father. It is probably more than 60 years old, but easily my favourite hack saw.
