I've had this saw for years. Only used 2 functions of it. Had to use it today for an awkward cut... and had I known it could do half of these abilities today's cuts would have been a thousand times easier. Decided to look up hack saw functions and came across this review. Amazing! Now looking for cuts that I've been avoiding around the house because I "thought" I didn't have tools.

[@SupraRy]

Damn I had this bad boy for like 2 years, used it in the field cut thousands of sticks of ½ ¾ 1 and 1¼ EMT and NEVER knew about the features other than the straight cut and 45 degree. I put the wood blade on the end like you showed but never knew I could detach the end to use as a handle for Jab saw. So I tried using it as a drywall saw with the whole big handle and it was awkward as fuck So I never used it again. The saw ended up getting stolen off the job site and I wasn't going to spend the extra money it cost again for a new one cause I figured it was only good for straight and 45degree but now I know and I will get another one. Thank you!

[@rockinblack5157]

You missed the long reach position. That's what the top screw is for where the blades are stored.

[@verepainelistens1459]

that explains the missing 5th use

[@sculptor210]

Just used mine last week to cut square aluminum tubing...went through it like butter. Love this saw!

[@janicefriesen2425]

Thanks! I purchased one a while ago and could never figure out how to use it. Finally today I decided to sit down and figure it out and your video really helped me.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi Janice, thanks so much for the comment! Really happy it helped you!

[@user-ql5ki3fn1e]

Was trying to figure out how to tighten the blade as it has always been a little loose in the few months I’ve had it. Watched your video and found out there are 4 other techniques! Thank you. Great video

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome!

[@Alexmaas2025]

I took out the blade and didn’t know how to do this thank you so much

[@ltwadley7619]

You just sold me on this saw. Thanks for this detailed and easy to understand video. I greatly appreciate it.

[@ToolReviewZone]

You got it Bucs. Thanks for the comment

[@drewnielsen4328]

Thats only 4 things. You forgot the long jab saw attached to the main yellow grip. Just pointing it out. Great video regardless.

[@eddiesmallhorn4021]

This 5 in 1 hacksaw is amazing. Another great review.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah its awesome buddy. Thanks for the comment bro!

[@dennisthemenace5150]

Just went out and bought 1. Thanks for the tips!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Your welcome Top Hat!

[@hokiemule]

One thing I’ve learned is that when you take the front handle off, you have to make sure it’s fully seated so the back of the black handle lines up with the diagonal lines on the body. I thought it was on, but couldn’t get the hacksaw blade on. So I had to whack it a couple of times to get the front handle fully seated so I could get enough release to mount the hacksaw blade.

[@freefallwefall]

Same thing happened to me. It only became clear after removing the screw at the tip. There is a diagonal line on the body that the front handle should line up with if its installed correctly.

[@Pyridox]

I appreciate the review. I saw this at Home Depot and also on Amazon. I'm looking for a better quality hacksaw, and I like that it's 5-in-one which is handy.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Any time Pete. You'll really like this, and the price can't be beat considering what you get out of it

[@user-vh1pn6dv2n]

Damn. Had one of these for a long time but was never able to use it, though having found this video, I'll be able to use it next time a need comes up. Had no idea how versatile this tool is. DeWalt really screwed up by not including instructions with the saw (you know, like literally everyone else does?). It wasn't as easy as the video makes it look--I had to take a hammer and screwdriver to the handle to knock it loose so I could open it up to attach and tighten the blade. DeWalt is not a company I can recommend to anyone, but at least now I have a good hack saw, assuming it works well and holds up with use.

[@infectedhazardgames3525]

I struggled at home for 1 hour....im glad i didnt take it to work to show off lol

[@simonibartoni09]

This review maybe 2 yrs old but I'd strangely not seen these before or in any shop! Having seen this review last night, found out they had one (only one) in a local Screwfix nr me & collected while out today. Even without coming back to the vid, it didn't take too much to figure out. Cheers ;)

[@YaxisX]

That was funny, about pull back the black part below the handle and pull it down. Ha ha. I pulled back, and my hand slipped back every time. I put 23" Channel locks on the black part, and got news for ya. That part don't move back. Got any suggestions? Ok, I got FlatHead ScrewDriver held on the front edge of black part, tapped it with a hammer. It Moved! Lubed the parts with Petroleum Jelly. Good video though. Thanks. Now I am a subscriber.

[@AlasCon]

Thanks man! Just bought this puppy and couldn't figure it out: NO instructions on the cardboard wrapper it came with. All they had to do is post some short text or pics and it'd be clearer. So glad I found your video: liked and subscribed!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome!!!!!!

[@marcogamboa8525]

Thank you so much I couldn’t figure out how to use it your video was great

[@ronaldbrown4746]

Just bought mine today. Video was very informative. Thanks

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

Awesome saw and review I'm gonna buy one, thanks 👍

[@saywater]

Merci beaucoup. Very clear and very helpful.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks saywater!

[@GarvinLinks]

Going to buy right now, thanks

[@-null]

Thanks man. I had this in my toolbox for two years. I knew it had potential but I would lose patience and never use it.

[@LolitaL7]

Very nice and easy, thank you very much.

[@timt7657]

Nice video thanks, just one question. The black arrow on the blade- which way is it supposed to go it could be reversed depending on which way you put it on and no instructions on this. I thought that would be important to know

[@kennethsarita]

thank you! so useful!

[@im1who84u]

Replacing an old hacksaw I bought when I was a teen-ager. I went to purchase a replacement blade and was not able to find one at 10 1/4 inches which is what my very old, simple, and antiquated hacksaw took. I decided to upgrade to a 12 inch blade since that was all I was finding available anymore. I picked this hacksaw after doing some research and I love it. My old hacksaw served it's purpose, but this one is just light years ahead of it. I only wish it was made in America and not China.

[@ToolReviewZone]

+im1who84u Hey bro. I agree air everything you just said. You think American when you think DEWALT, but not always the case. Still a great saw, and will probably be the only one I need for many years to come. Thanks for the comment!

[@oscar38]

Great video. I'm loving your accent...... straight out of 'Goodfellas' 😊

[@thepopboyuscl1682]

It is possible to cut a thin tree with that hacksaw blades?

[@huutoan1]

thank so much!

[@infectedhazardgames3525]

I just couldn't put it together... it was the little screw for the long saw that was sticking out a little bit and woundn't get the dry wall saw handle in the frame closer so i could put a tensioning blade on the hack saw.

[@ToolReviewZone]

It has a bit if a learning curve buddy

[@bobtyler547]

Really useful... thank you 🙂

[@xqiuvmah]

I wish they provided a wood saw blade as one of the options.

[@alinehme9425]

Very durable very solid

[@JRPetruk]

Well I guess I got a broken one. The blade tightening lever in the handle won't open. Sucks to be me.

[@drandrewclarke]

excellent vid. thanks

[@ToolReviewZone]

+drandrewclarke Any time

[@chancesforchancers1797]

There's one more saw in that??

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

the blade lever (to change the blade) it got stuck all the time and it upsetting very bad quality

[@pickletits1868]

I cannot for the life of me slide back the main blade tensioner cover like you do at @2:36 . I can't get enough a grip on it to even budge it. Am I missing something here?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Should just pop back for you Pickle. If it giving you a tough time, I would just return for another

[@pickletits1868]

@@ToolReviewZone i had to bang it on the corner of a table to open it and bang it on a table top to close it again.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah that's not right. I would return buddy

[@dennisthemenace5150]

I came on here specifically to see someone slide that damn thing before I took a screwdriver to it!. Glad I watched this video before I did it. Lol love KZbin as no direction as to how tight it was.

[@chriswarren9857]

I’m having the same issue

[@tomthompson7400]

i made it to 2.53 , and got bored ,, ill stick with my eclipse saw frame , fifty years ols and still working.

[@junior84cutty40]

Can I use it on wood . Great video thanks

[@ToolReviewZone]

+Junior 84 cutty sure can buddy. Thanks for the comment

[@rayrainer985]

I'm conflicted about this hacksaw. I have one but I am thinking of returning it. It's trying to do too much for one thing and the lever to change the blade is real hard to release. I had to stick a screwdriver to wedge it out. It's tight. It might be a little too heavy too. You will probably be running around look for the parts to put it back together, if you even bother. I think I'll go for the Milwaukee hacksaw that is a little simpler and about $7 cheaper and not as heavy and simpler to use. This reminds me the Dewalt box cutter I once bought. It is a pain to change the blade, while others make it so easy to change blade. I really shouldn't have really figure how to change the blade every time I try to replace one. So I think I convinced myself. I guess if someone gave me one as a present, I could deal with it. It's not terrible. But I wouldn't use the attachment to cut things and prefer to just have it be separate tool.

[@rayrainer985]

I've changed my mind and decided to keep it after looking at all its uses. It has a good feel to it also, once you get used to it. The long reach was missed but its actually a good feature if you need to go into an area you cannot reach.

[@jacobrael9872]

@@rayrainer985 I bought this saw but haven't used it at work until lately and I love it

[@rayrainer985]

@@jacobrael9872 : I decided to keep it. It does have a nice feel to it. I ended up giving my son the Milwaukee hacksaw.

[@sunnypm]

Had the same problem, needing a screwdriver to pry the bottom back to lift it up. Maybe we just got lemons. The concept is great. Until this video, though I was afraid to use the screwdriver, figuring I'd break the plastic.

[@AlwaysDreaming]

Lmao my husband bought one at the flea market. No box no guide no info from the seller. I used it today and threw it over the fence not thinking. Well i thought i broke it. So i looked online how to put it back together because i saw arrows on the thing. Didnt know this damn thing had 5 features in one. I showed my husband all these features 😂 he didnt know about. He just thought it was a simple hack saw he could use for electrical construction.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Glad this video helped 👊👊

[@platoscavealum902]

👍

[@andrewsalazar98]

Changing the blade is a pain because of that pull mechanism to unlock it

[@quantummotion]

Yep. I have to use a flat blade screwdriver and a couple of taps with a hammer to have that black lever to slide back first. It really binds up.

[@conorturk1757]

the jab saw looks really flimsy, I wish u gave a demo of it in action.

[@ToolReviewZone]

hey Mann, its actually very sturdy. the blade had a nice thickness to it

[@binness]

this is the second ( as in 1 then 2 ) video I have seen on this saw by an American, and both of you ( as in 1 then 2 ) only showed 4 ways ( as in 1- 2- 3- 4 ) so I have to ask can't you guys count up to 5, this a 5 in 1 saw, not a 4 in 1 saw, by the way mine says made in China on 1 part and made in Germany on another, and it is not a knock off saw. I will give you 4 out of 5 for your effort, as the video is very informative, I think like you that I am going to like this saw a lot, so thanks for the upload. and sorry about the tongue in cheek jibe.

[@ToolReviewZone]

lol, hey binnes, Not a problem at all. Although I do offer struggle counting to five, the fifth saw would be counted when setting it up for the 45 degrees cut. Hope this helps

[@EP2JS]

binness the fifth way is by putting the small plunge blade on the tip of the yellow handle for hard to reach places.

[@richardrios2994]

Great info and hopefully binness will realize the error in his ways Keep up the good work!

[@ToolReviewZone]

+Richard Rios thanks for the kind words!

[@sweetmazie1]

He did show 5, NUMBNUTS! Either you can't count or you were busy picking your nose when he mentioned the 5th position. WATCH IT AGAIN AND LISTEN THIS TIME!!!!

[@saurabhsharma-ts6ky]

It is too too much

[@UncleBman]

Yeah no. The single most complicated useless unworkable and fragile tension mechanism ever designed. New saw at work. I had to force the mechanism open slightly. Use a puddy knife to loosen the tensioner. Once open the mechanism sticks and jams because of paint and poor fit.. I gave up after a frustrating twenty minutes.
