The hacksaw frame is designed with a protruding nose that helps reach into confined spaces. A rubber-coated thumb grip on the front handle helps relieve pressure on the user's hand and provides stability for jobs that require both hands. The hacksaw frame's elliptical design offers a clear view of the material being cut.
