The Roughneck Bow Saws set new standards in areas such as safety, durability, ergonomics and overall effectiveness. This compact bow hacksaw has a small 300mm (12") cutting blade and comes with an additional FREE blade for sawing metal and plastic. Specific features include a heavy-duty tubular steel construction and a carefully considered, large oval frame cross section which helps to ensure maximum durability and rigidity. An increased wall thickness also provides higher blade tensions, enhancing sawing performance, whilst a safe and easy to use tensioning device both simplifies and speeds up blade changing and tensioning. In addition, to further optimise safety and user comfort, Roughneck bow saws benefit from a soft grip ergonomic handle as well as in-built knuckle protection.
