Hand hacksaw Fiskars TRUETENSION 30 cm, 24 TPI, model 1062931

Fiskars TRUETENSION 30 cm hand hacksaw with a 24 TPI blade is designed for precise manual cutting of metal and plastic. The fixed-frame design with a tensioning mechanism keeps the blade stable during use, allowing accurate, fine cuts for workshop, maintenance and DIY tasks. The saw is compact enough for detailed work and small repairs while providing the blade length needed for efficient straight cuts.

Advantages

The TRUETENSION frame maintains consistent blade tension to reduce vibration and blade deflection, improving cut accuracy. A 24 TPI blade delivers fine tooth spacing ideal for cutting thin metal sheets, pipes and plastic without excessive burrs. The hand-operated design offers control and tactile feedback for delicate or detailed sawing tasks. The saw’s compact 30 cm blade length balances reach with maneuverability in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Cutting non-ferrous and thin ferrous metal sheets and profiles
• Trimming plastic pipes, conduits and fittings
• Small workshop repairs and maintenance jobs
• DIY projects requiring fine, controlled sawing
• Model making and detailed trimming tasks

Key specifications

• Blade length: 30 cm
• Tooth density: 24 teeth per inch (24 TPI)
• Material suitability: metal and plastic
• Frame type: manual tensioning fixed frame
• Intended use: fine, precise manual sawing

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamped to a stable surface to prevent movement. Install the blade in the frame following the direction of the teeth so they cut on the forward or backward stroke as intended; then apply the TRUETENSION mechanism to achieve firm blade tension. Use steady, controlled strokes with moderate pressure, letting the blade teeth do the cutting to avoid bending or premature wear. For cutting pipes or profiles, start with a light scoring pass and then proceed with continuous strokes until the cut is complete. Replace the blade when cutting becomes slow or produces burrs.

Usage recommendations

Wear suitable eye protection and gloves when cutting metal or plastic. For thicker or harder metals, use a blade with a lower TPI and appropriate tooth geometry; for smoother cuts in thin materials the 24 TPI blade is recommended. Keep blades dry and store the saw in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Regularly check and re-tension the blade to maintain cutting accuracy.
