Stanley High Speed Steel Molybdenium Hacksaw Blades (2) 0 15 906, Brown

The photographs show pictures of multiple blades. I concede if I had read the description correctly I would have known I was only getting two blades, not five. However, I believe the pictures are misleading.

Pretty decent blades for the price. Im cutting knife blanks from O-1 tool steel, which are usually between 5-8mm thick. I personally find that if im making a big cut, downwards... for 5-20cms, and the steel is 5-8mm thick, and not heat treated (30-32 Rockwell), these blades work well.Lots of blades are awesome for the first 60 seconds of sawing through tough stuff. The acid test is whether they still work after a few minutes or have all the teeth on the blade sheered off. As I spend a lot of time making long cuts through tool steel, the issue for me is how they perform after 5-10 minutes of constantly cutting through steel. I have bought several types of blades that perform incredibly well for 5-10mm and then turn to mush.These blades cut well on un-heat treated tool steel. So far, the cut travel distance is about 35cm, and ive not noticed much drop off in cutting power. I consider these blades to be in the same ball-park as Bahco blades. Im still cutting with the first blade and not replaced it. I consider these blades to be effective.

I would have to advise, take notice of the reviews that suggest these break easily. I have a Stanley hacksaw and it seemed logical to buy these Stanley blades. I used a blade once or twice for trivial stuff such as cutting an over long screw to size and they seemed OK. However I then needed to cut an 8mm bar for a door handle mechanism. Despite putting the bar in a vice and cutting carefully the first blade broke after I was less than half way through. As I had the door mechanism in pieces I then had to carefully nurse the second blade along as I couldn't complete the job if the second blade also snapped. Got there in the end but don't have much faith in these and will buy something different as a replacement. Shame as they seemed quite promising until I actually wanted to cut something!. As an aside, the way these blades shatter could be something of a safety issue, I would advise wearing safety specs.

a cut above the rest

I found these to be good quality for doing a lot of blinds and curtain poles. Got them all done with one blade.

Product delivered swiftly and as stated. Long life. High speed steel blade hardened with molybdenum is durable and rigid.For cutting all metals.

seriously good blades ive used these and still using the same one around the home and boat for two weeks now with some wear but no issues yet no tooth chipping yet . so far so good.

Good quality Hacksaw Blades from Stanley at a reasonable price. Not sure what else I can write really - but, they work so buy some!
