    Recommend me a quality hacksaw

    I'm in the market for a new hacksaw, fed up of my floppy POS.
    Want a good quality frame, nice and rigid with a well designed tensioning system, any recommendations?

          old eclipse hacksaws are bullet proof and certainly made to last, i picked up a few from car boot sales which are probs older than me and still in 100% useable condition, better than new chinese moly crap...

            Ive got an old eclipse, i couldnt think of the name until i looked at the other replies. Nice cast alloy handle, tubular hoop, and a simple but effective wing nut tensioner, i dont like using anything else.

                        I like the look of the Bahco saw, I've got a blue point one in work and that's nice to use although the handle is a bit thick.

                            One vote for Bahco also, very rigid saw
