Badly Designed Retention System

Would Not Recommend

Upon my first attempt to use the saw, I found the blade retention system to be poorly designed. The blade is secured by a loose pin that is not captive, causing it to fall out easily during blade changes without warning. There is no documentation or indicator regarding this design quirk. A permanent hook or integrated retention system would be far more efficient and user-friendly than this unnecessary, removable pin

Very poor qualite

Would Not Recommend

When the saw is fully tensioned, the blade still spins due to a poor-quality mechanism. The blade it comes with is useless—better to throw it out and replace it with a decent one. It lost all its teeth on the first use. My files cut faster than this saw, and they are not for cutting

Works great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Craftsman hacksaw 12in flexible blade works great! It is sharp and cuts great! The quality is very good and sturdy. The blade is made of carbon steel. The handle is grippy and makes sawing easy. It works great on wood and plastics.
