A hacksaw is a work tool that is indispensable in every household, factory and other workplaces. It is usually made of metal with a disposable blade in a C-shaped frame. Cutting materials like metals, porcelains, ceramics, plastic pipes, and glass can be done by a hacksaw but this depends on the type of blade to be used. Blades differ depending on the thickness of the materials to be cut and they are brittle so exercise extra caution in using it.  There are standard sizes with three to thirty two feet per inch.

The hacksaw is either motor or electric driven or manually driven or handheld. The use of a hacksaw could endanger human lives if it is not used in its prescribed usage. Always observe safety rules. Bear in mind, safety should be everyone's concern.
