JFC, I think I'm just watching a tossed off vid about a hacksaw handle, but then end up getting my mind blown by the dowel in the masonry. That would have saved me a ton of frustration in the past. Thanks for this!!

Years ago, I bought a Lenox brand hacksaw for work after breaking a Kleine.that Lenox saw came with a couple of different blades and a handle made for mounting a blade into. As an electrician, I found so many uses for it that it always had a blade in it and it always had a place in my bag. Many times I had to use it for cutting nails on the boxes inside a wall. Sometimes it was cutting a giant piece of wire that was in too tight to get with normal cutters. It isn't the fastest way to cut anything, but sometimes fast is the last thing on your mind.

I absolutely adore your content. The maker/tinkering vibe, the repurposing of materials, out of the box thinking, homeowner spin. All the way to more “vlog” videos with a more philosophical approach. Actually have been re-bingeing your older content again.

This project is honestly worthy of being a video on the channel instead of being unlisted and only findable through hyperlinks. But I'm glade I found it nonetheless, probably make one for myself when I get around to it.

A hacksaw handle came as part of a tool box I was given. Super handy tool. It's just a bit of plastic a bolt and a wing nut but it grips a standard hacksaw blade perfectly and it's adjustable for stick out which can be very useful. I also have a spring loaded version with a guide, that's even better for some jobs but it's bulkier so isn't always as handy.

Another great DIY pumpkin-carving tool is an empty plastic chew/jerky can. It'll work so well for scraping the insides clean that you'll wonder how you ever did it otherwise.

I improvised one only be having your idea in memory, I still have to bend the holding nail, round the edges of the handle and other small adjustments (I needed one quickly so I didn't bother making it more ergonomic), otherwise it's very VERY useful for cutting square holes into gypsum boards that are already installed, with a regular hacksaw it's just impossible to do. Thanks ! Were you laughing while using the vice ?

Thank you for this! I think I'll try making one, but might cut the hack saw blade in 1/2. That way I'll get 2 blades from 1 and it'll be more compact (with less bending).

Dremel will work, but these can also be snapped in half. Be careful. It's super-hard metal. Watch your eyes. Gloves advised. Fold blade in half, then tap the fold flat with a hammer against metal.
